  • Patent number: 11690211
    Abstract: Described herein are IC devices that include TFT based memory arrays on both sides of a layer of logic devices. An example IC device includes a support structure (e.g., a substrate) on which one or more logic devices may be implemented. The IC device further includes a first memory cell on one side of the support structure, and a second memory cell on the other side of the support structure, where each of the first memory cell and the second memory cell includes a TFT as an access transistor. Providing TFT based memory cells on both sides of a layer of logic devices allows significantly increasing density of memory cells in a memory array having a given footprint area, or, conversely, significantly reducing the footprint area of the memory array with a given memory cell density.

  • Publication number: 20230200084
    Abstract: An example IC device includes a plurality of vertical transistors which may be part of memory cells, thus realizing vertical-transistor based memory. The IC device further includes a wordline, electrically continuous along a first longitudinal axis and electrically coupled to gates of a first subset of the transistors, and a control line that may be either a bitline or a plateline, electrically continuous along a second longitudinal axis and wrapping around at least portions of channel materials of a second subset of the transistors, where the first subset and the second subset have one transistor in common. At least one of the first longitudinal axis and the second longitudinal axis is not parallel to any edges or borders of the support structure, and, as a result, such a memory is referred to as “diagonal memory.” The transistors may be hysteretic transistors and/or may be further coupled to hysteretic capacitors.

  • Publication number: 20230180482
    Abstract: Three-dimensional hysteretic memory based on semiconductor nanoribbons is disclosed. An example memory cell may include a nanoribbon-based access transistor and a capacitor coupled to the access transistor, where the capacitor at least partially wraps around the nanoribbon in which the access transistor is formed.

  • Patent number: 11667621
    Abstract: A genus of proteolysis-targeting chimeras (PROTACs)-type compounds/antiestrogens has now been found that act as selective estrogen receptor degraders (SERDs) and estrogen receptor antagonists by degrading and antagonizing ERa in breast cancer cells. The compounds are of the following genus: The compounds described herein exhibit anti-proliferative effects, and are potentially useful, alone or in combination with other therapies, for the treatment of breast cancer. In general, these compounds combine a tight binding ERa targeting ligand tethered to a recognition motif or degron. Once bound, the degron recruits destructive cellular components and the targeted receptor (i.e., ERa) is degraded (i.e., destroyed) or antagonized.

  • Patent number: 11670588
    Abstract: Integrated circuits including selectable vias are disclosed. The techniques are particularly well-suited to back end of line (BEOL) processes. In accordance with some embodiments, a selectable via includes a vertically-oriented thin film transistor structure having a wrap around gate, which can be used to effectively select (or deselect) the selectable via ad hoc. When a selectable via is selected, a signal is allowed to pass through the selectable via. Conversely, when the selectable via is not selected, a signal is not allowed to pass through the selectable via. The selectable characteristic of the selectable via allows multiple vias to share a global interconnect. The global interconnect can be connected to any number of selectable vias, as well as standard vias.
