  • Patent number: 12148706
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards an integrated circuit (IC) chip comprising a semiconductor device that is inverted and that overlies a dielectric region inset into a top of a semiconductor substrate. An interconnect structure overlies the semiconductor substrate and the dielectric region and further comprises an intermetal dielectric (IMD) layer. The IMD layer is bonded to the top of the semiconductor substrate and accommodates a pad. A semiconductor layer overlies the interconnect structure, and the semiconductor device is in the semiconductor layer, between the semiconductor layer and the interconnect structure. The semiconductor device comprises a first source/drain electrode overlying the dielectric region and further overlying and electrically coupled to the pad. The dielectric region reduces substrate capacitance to decrease substrate power loss and may, for example, be a cavity or a dielectric layer. A contact extends through the semiconductor layer to the pad.

  • Publication number: 20240331795
    Abstract: It is checked, using machine learning, whether at least one fail bit in a memory block of a memory is unrepairable, according to a location of the at least one fail bit, and an available repair resource in the memory. When the checking indicates that the at least one fail bit is not unrepairable, it is determined whether a CSP containing constraints is solvable. The constraints correspond to the location of the at least one fail bit in the memory block, and the available repair resource. In response to determining that the CSP is not solvable, the memory block is marked as unrepairable or the memory is rejected. In response to the checking, using the machine learning, indicating that the at least one fail bit is unrepairable, the memory block is marked as unrepairable or the memory is rejected, without making further determinations as to repairability of the memory block.
