Publication number: 20240096971Abstract: A method including providing a device including a gate structure and a source/drain feature adjacent to the gate structure. An insulating layer (e.g., CESL, ILD) is formed over the source/drain feature. A trench is etched in the insulating layer to expose a surface of the source/drain feature. A semiconductor material is then formed in the etched trench on the surface of the source/drain feature. The semiconductor material is converted to a silicide.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 28, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Xusheng WU, Chang-Miao LIU, Ying-Keung LEUNG, Huiling SHANG, Youbo LIN

Patent number: 8359554Abstract: A method of designing and verifying 3D integrated circuits (3D IC) including providing a first layout corresponding to a first device of a 3D IC. The first layout includes a first interface layer. A second layout corresponding to a second device of the 3D IC is also provided. The second layout includes a second interface layer. A verification of the 3D is performed by verifying the first and second interface layers. The verification includes performing at least one of a design rule check (DRC) or a layout-versus-schematic (LVS) on the first and/or second interface layers.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 2011Date of Patent: January 22, 2013Assignee: Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, Ltd.Inventors: Chung-Hsing Wang, Chih Sheng Tsai, Ying-Lin Liu, Kai-Yun Lin

Patent number: 8060843Abstract: A method of designing a 3D integrated circuit (3D IC) including providing a first layout corresponding to a first device of a 3D IC and a second layout corresponding to a second device of a 3D IC is provided. A verification, such as LVS or DRC, may be performed not only on each device separately, but may also be performed to ensure proper connectivity between devices. The verification may be performed on a single layout file (e.g., GDS II file) including the interface layer of the first and second die. Dummy feature pattern may be determined for the 3D IC using a layout including the interface layers of the first and second devices.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2008Date of Patent: November 15, 2011Assignee: Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, Ltd.Inventors: Chung-Hsing Wang, Chih Sheng Tsai, Ying-Lin Liu, Kai-Yun Lin
