  • Publication number: 20240008239
    Abstract: Stacked static random-access memory (SRAM) circuits have doubled word length for a given SRAM cell area. An integrated circuit (IC) die includes stacked SRAM cells in vertically adjacent device layers with access transistors connected to a common wordline. The IC die with stacked SRAM cells having a common word line may be attached to a substrate and coupled to a power supply and, advantageously, to an active-cooling structure. SRAM cells may be formed in vertically adjacent layers of a substrate and electrically connected at their access transistor gate electrodes.

  • Publication number: 20240008255
    Abstract: Memory arrays with backside components and angled transistors, and related assemblies and methods, are disclosed herein. A transistor is referred to as an “angled transistor” if a longitudinal axis of an elongated semiconductor structure of the transistor (e.g., a fin or a nanoribbon) is neither perpendicular nor parallel to any edges of front or back sides of a support structure (e.g., a die) over which the transistor is implemented. A component is referred to as a “backside component” if it is provided on the side of a semiconductor substrate that is opposite to the side over which the transistors of the memory arrays are provided. Memory arrays with backside components and angled transistors provide a promising way to increasing densities of memory cells on the limited real estate of semiconductor chips and/or decreasing adverse effects associated with continuous scaling of IC components.

    Abstract: IC devices with logic circuits using vertical transistors with backside source or drain (S/D) regions, and related assemblies and methods, are disclosed herein. An example vertical transistor includes an elongated structure (e.g., a nanoribbon) of one or more semiconductor materials extending between a first side (e.g., a back side) and an opposing second side (e.g., a front side) of a substrate. The first S/D region of the transistor may be provided at the first side of the substrate, while the second S/D region of the transistor may be provided at the second side, with the channel region of the transistor being the portion of the elongated structure between the first and second S/D regions.

  • Publication number: 20230422463
    Abstract: SRAM devices with angled transistors, and related assemblies and methods, are disclosed herein. A transistor is referred to as “angled” if a longitudinal axis of an elongated semiconductor structure (e.g., a fin or a nanoribbon) based on which the transistor is built is at an angle other than 0 degrees or 90 degrees with respect to the edges of front or back faces of a support structure or a die on/in which the transistor resides, e.g., at an angle between about 10 and 80 degrees with respect to at least one of such edges. Implementing at least some of the transistors of SRAM cells as angled transistors may provide a promising way to increasing densities of SRAM cells on the limited real estate of semiconductor chips.

  • Publication number: 20230413547
    Abstract: IC devices implementing 2T memory cells with source-drain coupling in one transistor, and related assemblies and methods, are disclosed herein. In particular, 2T memory cells presented herein use first and second transistors arranged so that source and drain terminals of the second transistor are coupled to one another. A memory state may be represented by charge indicative of the bit value stored in the second transistor, while the first transistor may serve as a switch to control access to the second transistor. 2T memory cells with source-drain coupling in one transistor provide a promising way to increasing memory cell densities, drive current, and design flexibility in making electrical connections to, or between, various transistor terminals and control lines of memory arrays, thus providing good scalability in the number of 2T memory cells included in memory arrays.
