2. MonolithIC 3D Inc. Patents Pending 2 Monolithic 3D RC-JLT (Recessed-Channel Junction-Less Transistor )

3. MonolithIC 3D Inc. Patents Pending 3 Monolithic 3D IC technology is applied to producing monolithically stacked low leakage Recessed Channel Junction-Less Transistors (RC-JLTs). Junction-less (gated resistor) transistors are very simple to manufacture, and they scale easily to devices below 20nm: Bulk Device, not surface Fully Depleted channel Simple alternative to FinFET Superior contact resistance is achieved with the heavier doped top layer. The RCAT style transistor structure provides ultra-low leakage. Monolithic 3D IC provides a path to reduce logic, SOC, and memory costs without investing in expensive scaling down. Technology
