Abstract: A memory device includes an alternating stack of dielectric layers and word line layers, pairs of bit lines and source lines spaced apart from one another, a data storage layer covering a sidewall of the alternating stack, and channel layers interposed between the data storage layer and the pairs of bit lines and source lines. The alternating stack includes a staircase structure in a staircase-shaped region, and the staircase structure steps downward from a first direction and includes at least one turn. The pairs of bit lines and source lines extend in a second direction that is substantially perpendicular to the first direction and are in lateral contact with the data storage layer through the channel layers. A semiconductor structure and a method are also provided.

Abstract: The problem of providing transistors that can be manufactured to any specified threshold voltage withing a broad range of threshold voltages without creating leakage, capacitance, or process compatibility issues is solved by introducing a buried layer of a second dielectric composition into a gate dielectric of a first dielectric composition. The second dielectric composition is selected relative to the first dielectric composition so that dipoles form around the interface of the two dielectrics. The dipoles create an electric field that causes a shift in the threshold voltage. The buried layer has a higher dielectric constant than the gate dielectric, is thinner than the gate dielectric, and is proximate the channel.
