SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18201878 titled 'SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE
The semiconductor device described in the abstract consists of two active patterns, each with a lower pattern and sheet patterns, along with gate structures and source/drain patterns.
- The first active pattern includes a first lower pattern and first sheet patterns, while the second active pattern includes a second lower pattern and second sheet patterns.
- The height of the second lower pattern is smaller than the height of the first lower pattern.
- Both active patterns have gate structures and source/drain patterns connected to the sheet patterns.
- The width of the upper surface of the first lower pattern differs from the width of the second lower pattern.
- The number of sheet patterns in the first active pattern is different from the number in the second active pattern.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in the manufacturing of advanced semiconductor devices for various electronic applications. - It can improve the performance and efficiency of integrated circuits in electronic devices.
Problems Solved: - Enhances the functionality and performance of semiconductor devices. - Allows for more precise control and optimization of electronic components.
Benefits: - Improved efficiency and performance of electronic devices. - Enhanced capabilities for advanced semiconductor applications.
