  • Patent number: 12633336
    Abstract: Integrated circuits including static random-access memory (SRAM) bit-cells that are actively cooled to a low temperature (e.g., in the cryogenic range) where transistor drive currents become significantly increased and transistor leakage currents significantly reduced. With the drive current improvement, bit-cell capacitance may be reduced by defining narrower transistor fin structures and/or four transistor (4T) bit-cells may be implemented, for example with two parallel transistor fins and colinear gate electrodes.

  • Patent number: 12512365
    Abstract: Integrated circuit interconnect structures including an interconnect metallization feature comprising a sidewall reacted with a chalcogen into a low resistance liner. A portion of a backbone material or a metal seed layer may be advantageously converted into a metal chalcogenide, which can lower scattering resistance of an interconnect feature relative to alternative diffusion barrier materials, such a tantalum. Scattering resistance of such metal chalcogenide liner materials may be further reduced by actively cooling an IC, for example to cryogenic temperatures.
