  • Publication number: 20250006812
    Abstract: N-type gate-all-around (nanosheet, nanoribbon, nanowire) field-effect transistors (GAAFETs) vertically stacked on top of p-type GAAFETs in complementary FET (CFET) devices comprise non-crystalline silicon layers that form the n-type transistor source, drain, and channel regions. The non-crystalline silicon layers can be formed via deposition, which can provide for a simplified processing flow to form the middle dielectric layer between the n-type and p-type GAAFETs relative to processing flows where the silicon layers forming the n-type transistor source, drain, and channel regions are grown epitaxially.

  • Publication number: 20240429901
    Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to a multi-bit flip-flop circuit which uses unidirectional transistors to allow sharing of transistors among a set of flip-flops, while avoiding charge sharing within or between the flip-flops. Clock devices in the circuit can be shared to reduce the clock transistor gate capacitance and associated power consumption. The shared transistors can provide keeper circuits and/or tri-state inverters in a primary latch and a secondary latch in each flip-flop. One example implementation uses tri-state keeper sharing. Another example implementation uses tri-state keeper and/or pass gate sharing. Another example implementation uses pass gate sharing and no keeper.
