Latest Patent Applications

Gukhee Kim's recent patent applications include:

1. **SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE AND METHOD OF FABRICATING THE SAME** - This application describes a semiconductor device that may include a substrate, a lower power line in a lower portion of the substrate, metal layers on the substrate, and a protection structure that is electrically connected to the lower power line and the metal layers. The protection structure may consist of a doping pattern in the substrate and a first source/drain pattern that is on the substrate and is electrically connected to an upper portion of the doping pattern. The doping pattern and the first source/drain pattern may include different dopants from each other.

2. **SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES** - This application outlines a semiconductor device that includes first power lines extending on a substrate in a first direction and spaced apart from each other in a second direction. It features back side power structures on a lower surface of the substrate, standard cells each including an active pattern, a gate pattern intersecting the active pattern, and contacts. Additionally, power tap cells are included between at least some of the standard cells, each containing vertical power vias, and second power lines that electrically connect at least some of the first power lines to each other. A first portion of the second power lines may extend onto the power tap cells, while a second portion that is different from the first may extend onto the standard cells. The power tap cells may be arranged in every three or more rows of the standard cells in the second direction in a zigzag pattern.
