Abstract
Transistor scaling has been one of the key engines driving Moore's Law and our semiconductor industry. To maintain this pace of scaling, many new architectural changes have been proposed, and introduced since the start of this century, such as FinFETs and gate-all-around (GAA). Many researchers agree that the next architecture change will go further in 3D by stacking transistors in what is called complementary FET or CFET. In this presentation, we will discuss benefits that CFET may provide, some CFET implementations as well as latest experimental demonstrations of CFET architectures. Specifically, we will highlight the opportunities and challenges in vertical patterning and aspect ratios required for what is referred to as self-aligned CFET. These include vertically stacked dual epi source-drain, vertically stacked dual metal gate workfunctions as well as backside interconnects. We will use recent progress in these technologies to experimentally demonstrate simple circuits in CFET architecture.
