  • Publication number: 20230395676
    Abstract: IC devices with transistors having angled gates, and related assemblies and methods, are disclosed herein. A transistor is referred to as having an “angled gate” if an angle between a projection of the gate of the transistor onto a plane of a support structure (e.g., a die) over which the transistor is implemented and an analogous projection of a longitudinal axis of an elongated structure (e.g., a fin or a nanoribbon having one or more semiconductor materials) based on which the transistor is built is between 10 degrees and 80 degrees. Transistors having angled gates provide a promising way to increasing densities of transistors on the limited real estate of semiconductor chips and/or decreasing short-channel effects associated with continuous scaling of IC components.

  • Patent number: 11830829
    Abstract: Techniques and mechanisms for providing an inductor with an integrated circuit (IC) die. In an embodiment, the IC die comprises integrated circuitry and one or more first metallization layers. The IC die is configured to couple to a circuit device including one or more second metallization layers, where such coupling results in the formation of an inductor which is coupled to the integrated circuitry. One or more loop structures of the inductor each span both some or all of the one or more first metallization layers and some or all of the one or more second metallization layers. In another embodiment, the IC die or the circuit device includes a ferromagnetic material to concentrate a magnetic flux which is provided with the inductor.

  • Publication number: 20230317851
    Abstract: Integrated circuit (IC) including transistors with high-mobility/high-saturation velocity, non-silicon channel materials coupled to a silicon substrate through counter-doped sub-channel materials, which greatly reduce electrical leakage currents through the substrate when the IC is operated at very low temperatures (e.g., below ?25 C). With low temperature operation, high transistor performance associated with the non-silicon channel materials can be integrated into high density IC architectures that avoid the limitations associated with semiconductor material layer transfers.
