SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES AND METHODS OF MANUFACTURING THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17459865 titled 'SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES AND METHODS OF MANUFACTURING THEREOF

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a semiconductor device that consists of three stack structures made of semiconductor layers. These stack structures are vertically spaced from each other and extend along a first lateral direction. The second stack structure is positioned between the first and third stack structures. The device also includes a first gate structure that wraps around each of the semiconductor layers and extends along a second lateral direction. The semiconductor layers of the first and second stack structures are connected to respective source/drain structures, while the semiconductor layers of the third stack structure are connected to a dielectric passivation layer.

  • The semiconductor device has three stack structures made of vertically spaced semiconductor layers.
  • The second stack structure is positioned between the first and third stack structures.
  • A first gate structure wraps around each of the semiconductor layers and extends along a different lateral direction.
  • The semiconductor layers of the first and second stack structures are connected to respective source/drain structures.

Original Abstract Submitted

A semiconductor device includes a first stack structure, a second stack structure, and a third stack structure. Each of the stack structure includes semiconductor layers vertically spaced from one another. The first, second, and third stack structures all extend along a first lateral direction. The second stack structure is disposed between the first and third stack structures. The semiconductor device includes a first gate structure that extends along a second lateral direction and wraps around each of the semiconductor layers. The semiconductor layers of the first stack structure are coupled with respective source/drain structures. The semiconductor layers of the second stack structure are coupled with respective source/drain structures. The semiconductor layers of the third stack structure are coupled with a dielectric passivation layer.
