Abstract
IC devices including BPRs with integrated decoupling capacitance are disclosed. An example IC device includes a first layer comprising a transistor and a support structure adjoining the first layer. The support structure includes BPRs, which are power rails buried in the support structure, and a decoupling capacitor based on the BPRs. The conductive cores of the BPRs are the electrodes of the decoupling capacitor. The dielectric barriers of the BPRs can be the dielectric of the decupling capacitor. The dielectric of the decupling capacitor may also include a dielectric element between the BPRs. Additionally or alternatively, the IC device includes another decoupling capacitor at the backside of the support structure. The other decoupling capacitor is coupled to the BPRs and can provide additional decoupling capacitance for stabilizing power supply facilitated by the BPRs.
