STACKED NANOSHEET DEVICES WITH MATCHED THRESHOLD VOLTAGES FOR NFET/PFET - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17455941 titled 'STACKED NANOSHEET DEVICES WITH MATCHED THRESHOLD VOLTAGES FOR NFET/PFET

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a semiconductor device that consists of two nano devices stacked on top of each other. The lower nano device is made up of multiple stacked first nano sheets, which are spaced apart from each other by a certain distance. The upper nano device is made up of multiple stacked second nano sheets, which are spaced apart from each other by a larger distance than the first nano sheets.

• The semiconductor device consists of a lower nano device and an upper nano device.
• The lower nano device is composed of stacked first nano sheets.
• The first nano sheets are spaced apart from each other by a specific distance.
