  • Patent number: 12615894
    Abstract: An electronic device may have a display with an array of pixels. Each pixel may include inorganic light-emitting diodes of the same color such as a blue inorganic light-emitting diode. To emit different colors of light using the same type of inorganic light-emitting diodes, quantum dot layers may be used. Each quantum dot layer may have an associated reflective layer. Each light-emitting diode may also have an associated reflective layer. The reflective layer for the light-emitting diode may conform to the light-emitting diode or may be separated from the light-emitting diode by gap. When the reflective layer is separated from the light-emitting by a gap, the gap may be filled by a quantum dot layer or a diffusive layer.

  • Publication number: 20260059801
    Abstract: Techniques are provided herein to form an integrated circuit having semiconductor devices with low-k inner dielectric spacers between semiconductor bodies (e.g., nanoribbons, nanowires, or nanosheets). The dielectric spacers may include any suitable low-k dielectric material. Additionally, the inner dielectric spacers may be formed after the formation of source or drain regions, which improves the stress profile of the source or drain regions against the semiconductor bodies. In one such example, semiconductor bodies extend in a first direction between source or drain regions and a gate structure extends in a second direction over the semiconductor bodies between the source or drain regions. Inner spacers separate the gate structure from the source or drain regions along the first direction. The inner spacers may include a low-k dielectric material, such as silicon dioxide. In some examples, the inner spacers extend outwards beyond the ends of the semiconductor bodies along the first direction.

  • Publication number: 20260040677
    Abstract: Techniques are provided herein to form an integrated circuit having stacked semiconductor devices with their source or drain regions coupled together via matching backside connections. In an example, FET (field effect transistor) devices may be formed on two different substrates and bonded together at their backsides such that backside contacts beneath each device substantially align at or near the bonding interface. The substrate beneath both the first FET and the second FET is removed, and backside contacts are formed beneath the source or drain regions of the first and second FETs. A bonding layer may also be formed on the backside of either the first FET or the second FET. The second FET is then flipped upside down and bonded to the backside of the first FET, such that the backside contacts from the first and second FET's are substantially aligned and are conductively coupled through the bonding layer.
