Abstract

To support vertical power delivery network (PDN) in heterogeneous 3-dimensional (H3D) integrated circuits with multi-tier stacking, we demonstrated high-voltage back-end-of- line (BEOL) compatible devices: tungsten-doped indium oxide (IWO) power transistors and high-breakdown voltage (VBD) superlattice MIM capacitors. The IWO power transistors have a VBD >12 V and a cutoff frequency of 1.5 GHz. Monolithic cointegration of enhancement(E)- and depletion(D)-mode transistors are demonstrated for high-side and low-side switches, respectively, to implement a switched-capacitor (SC) based DC- DC voltage converter. We further demonstrated on-chip superlattice capacitors for high VBD of ~11.2 V. Using calibrated measurement data from fabricated devices, a BEOL compatible DC-DC converter was designed to demonstrate efficient voltage conversion in a multi-tier H3D transformer accelerator with multiple domains: logic (0.75 V), eDRAM (1.5 V), and ferroelectric transistor (FeFET) non-volatile memory (3 V).
