INTEGRATED CIRCUIT DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18106540 titled 'INTEGRATED CIRCUIT DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an integrated circuit device that includes a substrate with a fin-type active region defined by a trench on the front surface. A device separation layer fills the trench, and a source/drain region is located on the fin-type active region. A first conductive plug is arranged on the source/drain region and connected to it. A power wiring line is partially arranged on the lower surface of the substrate, and a buried rail is connected to the power wiring line through the device separation layer. A power via connects the buried rail to the first conductive plug.

  • The device has a fin-type active region defined by a trench on the front surface of the substrate.
  • A device separation layer fills the trench, providing isolation for the active region.
  • A source/drain region is located on the fin-type active region.
  • A first conductive plug is arranged on the source/drain region and electrically connected to it.
  • A power wiring line is at least partially arranged on the lower surface of the substrate.
  • A buried rail is connected to the power wiring line through the device separation layer and decreases in horizontal width towards the power wiring line.
  • A power via connects the buried rail to the first conductive plug.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Integrated circuit devices requiring efficient power distribution and connectivity.
  • Devices that benefit from a fin-type active region for improved performance and compactness.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Provides a compact and efficient power distribution system within the integrated circuit device.
  • Enables effective connectivity between the power wiring line and the fin-type active region.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved performance and efficiency of integrated circuit devices.
  • Enhanced power distribution and connectivity within the device.
  • Compact design for space-constrained applications.
