Synchronization between a base station and user devices is crucial for high-frequency 5G and especially 6G communications. Disclosed is a fast, compact timing signal comprising an abrupt change in a downlink signal modulation, centrally positioned in a predetermined symbol-time.

The present disclosure generally relates to multi-switch storage cells (MSSCs), three-dimensional MSSC arrays, and three-dimensional MSSC memory. Multi-switch storage cells include a cell select device, multiple resistive change elements, and an intracell wiring electrically connecting the multiple resistive change elements together and to the cell select device.

Additionally, READ and WRITE operations may be performed on one of the multiple resistive change elements in a multi-switch storage cell without disturbing the stored data in the remaining resistive change elements. However, controlled parasitic currents may flow in the remaining resistive change elements within the cell. Isolating each multi-switch storage cell in a three-dimensional MSSC array, enables in-memory computing for applications such as data processing for machine learning and artificial intelligence.

One or more embodiments described herein generally relate to patterning semiconductor film stacks. Unlike in conventional embodiments, the film stacks herein are patterned without the need of etching the magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) stack. Instead, the film stack is etched before the MTJ stack is deposited such that the spin on carbon layer and the anti-reflective coating layer are completely removed and a trench is formed within the dielectric capping layer and the oxide layer. Thereafter, MTJ stacks are deposited on the buffer layer and on the dielectric capping layer. An oxide capping layer is deposited such that it covers the MTJ stacks. An oxide fill layer is deposited over the oxide capping layer and the film stack is polished by chemical mechanical polishing (CMP). The embodiments described herein advantageously result in no damage to the MTJ stacks since etching is not required.
