Multi version library cell handling and integrated circuit structures fabricated therefrom are described. In an example, an integrated circuit structure includes a plurality of gate lines parallel along a first direction of a substrate and having a pitch along a second direction orthogonal to the first direction. A first version of a cell type is over a first portion of the plurality of gate lines, the first version of the cell type including a first plurality of interconnect lines having a second pitch along the second direction, the second pitch less than the first pitch.

A method including forming a plurality of first devices and a plurality of first interconnects on a substrate; coupling a second device layer including a plurality of second devices to ones of the plurality of first interconnects, and forming a plurality of second interconnects on the second device layer. An apparatus including a first device layer including a plurality of first circuit devices disposed between a plurality of first interconnects and a plurality of second interconnects and a second device layer including a plurality of second devices juxtaposed and coupled to one of the plurality of first interconnects and the plurality of second interconnects, wherein one of the plurality of first devices and the plurality of second devices include devices having a higher voltage range than the other of the plurality of first devices and the plurality of second devices.

Silicon die with integrated high voltage devices

Monolithic 3D ICs employing one or more local inter-level interconnect integrated intimately with at least one structure of at least one transistor on at least one transistor level within the 3D IC. In certain embodiments the local inter-level interconnect intersects a gate electrode or a source/drain region of at least one transistor and extends through at least one inter-level dielectric layer disposed between a first and second transistor level in the 3D IC. Local inter-level interconnects may advantageously make a direct vertical connection between transistors in different levels of the 3D IC without being routed laterally around the footprint (i.e., lateral, or planar, area) of either the overlying or underlying transistor level that is interconnected.

A method including forming a first substrate including an integrated circuit device layer disposed between a plurality of first interconnects and a plurality of second interconnects; coupling a second substrate including a memory device layer to the first substrate so that the memory device layer is juxtaposed to one of the plurality of first interconnects and the plurality of second interconnects; and removing a portion of the first substrate. An apparatus including a device layer including a plurality of circuit devices disposed between a plurality of first interconnects and a plurality of second interconnects on a substrate; a memory device layer including a plurality of memory devices juxtaposed and coupled to one of the plurality of first interconnects and the plurality of second interconnects; and contacts points coupled to one of ones of the first plurality of interconnects and ones of the second plurality of interconnects.

Method for direct integration of memory die to logic die without use of thru silicon vias (TSV)

Methods of forming microelectronic interconnect under device structures are described. Those methods and structures may include forming a device layer in a first substrate, forming at least one routing layer in a second substrate, and then coupling the first substrate with the second substrate, wherein the first substrate is bonded to the second substrate.

Methods of forming under device interconnect structures

Disclosed are a multi-die processor apparatus and system. Processor logic to execute one or more instructions is allocated among two or more face-to-faces stacked dice. The processor includes a conductive interface between the stacked dice to facilitate die-to-die communication.

Multi-die processor

A 6FDRAM cell with paired cells is described. In one embodiment the cell pairs are separated by n-type isolation transistors having gates defining dummy word lines. The dummy word lines are fabricated from a metal with a work function favoring p-channel devices.
