“…The potential benefits of 3D integration can vary depending on approach; they include multifunctionality, increased performance, reduced power, small form factor, reduced packaging, increased yield and reliability, flexible heterogeneous integration and reduced overall costs. A key study in a recent paper of ourselves [4] comes from the fact that, when, for instance, the MOS bulk-electrode is floating, the bulk potential becomes a function of the substrate perturbations and this affects, for instance, the value of the MOS threshold voltage which in turn varies the MOS drain current.…”
