  • Patent number: 11362191
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a hybrid integrated circuit. In one implementation, an integrated circuit may have a first region with a first gate structure having a ferroelectric gate dielectric, at least one source associated with the first gate of the first region, and at least one drain associated with the first gate structure of the first region. Moreover, the integrated circuit may have a second region with a second gate structure having a high-? gate dielectric, at least one source associated with the second gate structure of the second region, and at least one drain associated with the second gate structure of the second region. The integrated circuit may further have at least one trench isolation between the first region and the second region.
