SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES AND METHODS OF MANUFACTURING THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18446873 titled 'SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES AND METHODS OF MANUFACTURING THEREOF
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a semiconductor device with an active region and conductive structures.
- The device has an active region that extends along a first lateral direction.
- There are first conductive structures that are connected to the active region and extend along a second lateral direction.
- Second conductive structures are placed above the first conductive structures and extend along the first lateral direction.
- The device also includes a first capacitor with a first electrode and a second electrode.
- The first electrode is made up of one of the first conductive structures and the active region.
- The second electrode is made up of one of the second conductive structures.
- Both the active region and the first conductive structures are connected to a power rail structure that carries a supply voltage.
Original Abstract Submitted
A semiconductor device includes an active region over a substrate extending along a first lateral direction. The semiconductor device includes a number of first conductive structures operatively coupled to the active region. The first conductive structures extend along a second lateral direction. The semiconductor device includes a number of second conductive structures disposed above the plurality of first conductive structures. The second conductive structures extend along the first lateral direction. The semiconductor device includes a first capacitor having a first electrode and a second electrode. The first electrode includes one of the first conductive structures and the active region, and the second electrode includes a first one of the second conductive structures. Each of the active region and the first conductive structures is electrically coupled to a power rail structure configured to carry a supply voltage.
