MIDDLE OF LINE STRUCTURE WITH STACKED DEVICES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17547775 titled 'MIDDLE OF LINE STRUCTURE WITH STACKED DEVICES
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a field effect device that includes a lower active gate structure, lower source/drain structures, upper active gate structure, and upper source/drain structures. The device also includes shared source/drain contact and lower source/drain contact interfaces.
- The field effect device has a lower active gate structure and lower source/drain structures on one side, and an upper active gate structure and upper source/drain structures on the opposite side.
- The device includes a shared source/drain contact that connects the lower source/drain structure to the upper source/drain structure.
- There is also a lower source/drain contact interface that forms an electrical connection to the second lower source/drain structure.
Potential applications of this technology:
- This field effect device can be used in various electronic devices, such as transistors, integrated circuits, and microprocessors.
- It can be utilized in the manufacturing of high-performance electronic devices that require efficient electrical connections between different source/drain structures.

Benefits of this technology:
- The field effect device allows for improved performance and functionality of electronic devices by providing a reliable electrical connection between different source/drain structures.
- It enhances the efficiency and reliability of electrical connections, leading to better overall device performance.
Original Abstract Submitted
A field effect device is provided. The field effect device includes a lower active gate structure on a substrate, and a first lower source/drain on a first side of the lower active gate structure. The field effect device further includes a second lower source/drain on a second side of the lower active gate structure opposite the first side, and a first lower source/drain contact interface on the first lower source/drain. The field effect device further includes a first upper source/drain on the first side of an upper active gate structure, and a second upper source/drain on the second side of the upper active gate structure opposite the first side. The field effect device further a shared source/drain contact forming an electrical connection between the first lower source/drain and the first upper source/drain; and a lower source/drain contact forming an electrical connection to the second lower source/drain.
