Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An integrated circuit device that comprises a single semiconductor substrate, a device layer formed on a frontside of the single semiconductor substrate, a redistribution layer formed on a backside of the single semiconductor substrate, a through silicon via (TSV) formed within the single semiconductor substrate that is electrically coupled to the device layer and to the redistribution layer, a logic-memory interface (LMI) formed on a backside of the single semiconductor substrate that is electrically coupled to the redistribution layer, and a MEMS device formed on the backside of the single semiconductor substrate that is electrically coupled to the redistribution layer.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What we claim is: 1. An apparatus comprising: a single semiconductor substrate having a frontside and a backside; a through-silicon via (TSV) formed within the semiconductor substrate that extends from the frontside of the substrate to the backside of the substrate; and a MEMS device at least partially within the substrate and on the backside of the substrate, the MEMS device electrically coupled to the TSV via a conductor, wherein the conductor is on the backside of the subst…
