Abstract
The Elevated Epi technique is presented for the fabrication of single-crystal (100) silicon of wafer field size (25mmx33mm) for monolithic three-dimensional integrated circuits (3DICs). Elevated Epi uses a low substrate temperature, pulse laser technique to fabricate single-crystal Si on dielectric. We also demonstrate 3D inverters, with an inter-layer metal M0 positioned between two layers of FinFETs. A hybrid-3D cell library is presented for improving performance, power, and area of 3DICs.
