Abstract
The present invention discloses methods and apparatuses for the separations of IC fabrication and assembling of separated IC components to form complete IC structures. In an embodiment, the present fabrication separation of an IC structure into multiple discrete components can take advantages of dedicated IC fabrication facilities and achieve more cost effective products. The process can separate the integrated circuits into an analog portion and a digital portion with the analog portion comprising passive components utilizing dielectric materials different than silicon dioxide and active components utilizing channel materials different than substrate single crystal silicon.
