Patent ID: 11948941
Assignee: TAIWAN SEMICONDUCTOR MANUFACTURING COMPANY LTD.
Field: Semiconductors (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H  B | IPC H

Claim 11:
12. A method of manufacturing an integrated circuit, comprising:
providing a semiconductor substrate comprising a plurality of first semiconductor devices;
forming a first interconnect structure over the semiconductor substrate, the plurality of first semiconductor devices being electrically coupled to the first interconnect structure;
forming at least one second semiconductor device by a method as claimed in claim 8 over the first interconnect structure for electrically coupling and electrically communicating the at least one second semiconductor device and at least one of the plurality of first semiconductor devices through the first interconnect structure, the substrate being comprised in the first interconnect structure; and
forming a second interconnect structure over the at least one second semiconductor device to electrically couple the second interconnect structure and the source/drain terminals of the at least one second semiconductor device.
