    Abstract: In some embodiments, the present disclosure relates to a memory device that includes gate electrode layers arranged over a substrate. A first memory cell is arranged over the substrate and includes first and second source/drain conductive lines that extend through the gate electrode layers. A barrier structure is arranged between the first and second source/drain conductive lines. A channel layer is arranged on outermost sidewalls of the first and second source/drain conductive lines. A first dielectric layer is arranged between the barrier structure and the channel layer. A memory layer is arranged on sidewalls of the channel layer. The first dielectric layer has a first maximum width measured between outermost sidewalls of the first dielectric layer. The first source/drain conductive line has a second maximum width measured between the outermost sidewalls of the first source/drain conductive line. The second width is greater than the first width.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates a ferroelectric field-effect transistor (FeFET) device. The FeFET device includes a ferroelectric structure having a first side and a second side. A gate structure is disposed along the first side of the ferroelectric structure, and an oxide semiconductor is disposed along the second side of the ferroelectric structure. The oxide semiconductor has a first semiconductor type. A source region and a drain region are disposed on the oxide semiconductor. The gate structure is laterally between the source region and the drain region. A polarization enhancement structure is arranged on the oxide semiconductor between the source region and the drain region. The polarization enhancement structure includes a semiconductor material or an oxide semiconductor material having a second semiconductor type that is different than the first semiconductor type.

    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.
