Patent number: 12666711Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to techniques of fabricating hybrid transistors that combine both TFETs and MOSFETs. The techniques may be commonly integrated such that TFET regions are formed in the same fabrication stages used to fabricate CMOS regions. The TFET and MOSFET may be stacked vertically to reduce the footprint area of the hybrid transistor, which may lead to further semiconductor IC device scaling. The hybrid transistor may utilize a backside power distribution network (BSPDN). The utilization of the BSPDN may reduce resistances, which may result in performance increases. Further, the utilization of the BSPDN may further reduce the footprint area of the hybrid transistor, which may provide for continued scaling. Further, the utilization of the BSPDN may further reduce signal and power potential routing complexities.Type: GrantFiled: May 25, 2023Date of Patent: June 23, 2026Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Min Gyu Sung, Liqiao Qin, Julien Frougier, Ruilong Xie
