INTEGRATED CIRCUIT DEVICES WITH ANGLED TRANSISTORS AND ANGLED ROUTING TRACKS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18314875 titled 'INTEGRATED CIRCUIT DEVICES WITH ANGLED TRANSISTORS AND ANGLED ROUTING TRACKS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes IC devices with angled transistors and angled routing tracks, which can increase transistor densities on semiconductor chips and reduce adverse effects associated with scaling IC components.

• An angled transistor is one where the longitudinal axis of the semiconductor structure is neither perpendicular nor parallel to the edges of the support structure.
• Similarly, an angled routing track is one that is neither perpendicular nor parallel to the edges of the support structure.
• Angled transistors and routing tracks provide a way to increase transistor densities on semiconductor chips.
• They also help in decreasing adverse effects that come with continuous scaling of IC components.

Potential Applications

• Semiconductor chip manufacturing
• Integrated circuit design
• Electronics industry

Problems Solved

• Limited real estate on semiconductor chips
• Adverse effects associated with scaling IC components

Benefits

• Increased transistor densities on semiconductor chips
• Reduced adverse effects of scaling IC components

Original Abstract Submitted

IC devices with angled transistors and angled routing tracks, and related assemblies and methods, are disclosed herein. A transistor is referred to as an “angled transistor” if a longitudinal axis of an elongated semiconductor structure of the transistor (e.g., a fin or a nanoribbon) is neither perpendicular nor parallel to any edges of front or back sides of a support structure (e.g., a die) over which the transistor is implemented. Similarly, a routing track is referred to as an “angled routing track” if the routing track is neither perpendicular nor parallel to any edges of front or back faces of the support structure. Angled transistors and angled routing tracks provide a promising way to increasing densities of transistors on the limited real estate of semiconductor chips and/or decreasing adverse effects associated with continuous scaling of IC components.
