  • Publication number: 20200098737
    Abstract: A stacked-substrate FPGA device is described in which a second substrate is stacked over a first substrate. Logic transistors (e.g., semiconductor devices and at least some conductive interconnections between them) are generally fabricated on (or over) a first substrate and memory transistors (e.g., SRAM cells and SRAM arrays) are generally fabricated on a second substrate over the first substrate. This has the effect of physically disposing elements of a CLB and a programmable switch on two different substrates. That is a first portion of a CLB and a programmable switch corresponding to logic transistors are on a first substrate and a second portion of these components of an FPGA corresponding to SRAM transistors is on a second substrate.

  • Patent number: 10580895
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for forming a GaN transistor on a semiconductor substrate. An insulating layer forms on top of a semiconductor substrate. A trench, filled with a trench material comprising a III-V semiconductor material, forms through the insulating layer and extends into the semiconductor substrate. A channel structure, containing III-V material having a defect density lower than the trench material, forms directly on top of the insulating layer and adjacent to the trench. A source and drain form on opposite sides of the channel structure, and a gate forms on the channel structure. The semiconductor substrate forms a plane upon which both GaN transistors and other transistors can form.
