Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Stacked transistor devices include a lower channel layer formed on a substrate; a pair of vertically aligned source regions formed over the lower channel layer, where the pair of source regions are separated by an insulator; a pair of vertically aligned drain regions formed on the lower channel layer, where the pair of drain regions are separated by an insulator; a pair of vertically aligned gate regions formed on the lower gate dielectric layer; and an upper channel layer formed over the source regions, drain regions, and gate regions.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A stacked transistor device, comprising: a lower channel layer formed on a substrate; a pair of vertically aligned source regions formed directly over the lower channel layer, said pair of source regions being separated by an insulator; a pair of vertically aligned drain regions formed directly over the lower channel layer, said pair of drain regions being separated by an insulator; conductive source and drain extensions, each formed in the substrate i…
