  • Publication number: 20240014042
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a fin, first source/drain regions, second source/drain regions, a first nanosheet, a second nanosheet and a metal gate structure. The fin extends in a first direction and protrudes above an insulator. The first source/drain regions are over the fin. The second source/drain regions are over the first source/drain regions. The first nanosheet extends in the first direction between the first source/drain regions. The second nanosheet extends in the first direction between the second source/drain regions. The metal gate structure is over the fin and between the first source/drain regions. The metal gate structure extends in a second direction different from the first direction from a first sidewall to a second sidewall. A first distance in the second direction between the first nanosheet and the first sidewall is smaller than a second distance in the second direction between the first nanosheet and the second sidewall.

  • Publication number: 20230345693
    Abstract: An integrated circuit includes a plurality of SRAM cells. Each SRAM cell includes a first inverter having a first N-type transistor and a first P-type transistor stacked vertically in a first active region. The SRAM cell includes a second inverter cross-coupled with the first inverter and including a second N-type transistor and a second P-type transistor stacked vertically in a second active region. The SRAM cell includes a butt contact electrically connecting an output of the first inverter to an input of the second inverter. The butt contact is at least partially within a first active region.

  • Publication number: 20230307456
    Abstract: An integrated circuit includes a complimentary field effect transistor (CFET). The CFET includes a first transistor having a first semiconductor nanostructure corresponding to a channel region of the first semiconductor nanostructure and a first gate metal surrounding the second semiconductor nanostructure. The CFET includes a transistor including a second semiconductor nanostructure above the first semiconductor nanostructure and a second gate metal surrounding the second semiconductor nanostructure. The CFET includes an isolation structure between the first and second semiconductor nanostructures.
