MICROELECTRONIC DEVICES, RELATED ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS, AND METHODS OF FORMING MICROELECTRONIC DEVICES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17804251 titled 'MICROELECTRONIC DEVICES, RELATED ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS, AND METHODS OF FORMING MICROELECTRONIC DEVICES

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a microelectronic device that includes two layers of microelectronic structures.

  • The first layer consists of a memory array region with memory cells.
  • The second layer is positioned above the first layer and contains control logic devices responsible for controlling the memory cells.
  • The second layer also includes first multi-capacitor structures that are placed between the control logic devices and their neighboring devices.
  • These first multi-capacitor structures have the same number of routing tiers as the control logic devices or fewer.
  • The purpose of the first multi-capacitor structures is to regulate and supply voltage to the control logic devices.


Original Abstract Submitted

A microelectronic device includes a first microelectronic device structure including a memory array region comprising memory cells and a second microelectronic device structure vertically overlying the first microelectronic device structure. The second microelectronic device structure includes control logic devices configured to effectuate at least a portion of control operations for the memory cells and first multi-capacitor structures within spaces between the control logic devices and horizontally neighboring at least one of the control logic devices. The first multi-capacitor structures span a same or fewer number of routing tiers as the control logic devices and are configured to regulate and supply voltage to one or more of the control logic devices.
