    Abstract: A method of forming a memory device includes: forming a first layer stack and a second layer stack successively over a substrate, the first layer stack and the second layer stack having a same layered structure that includes a dielectric material, a channel material over the dielectric material, and a source/drain material over the channel material; forming openings that extend through the first layer stack and the second layer stack; forming inner spacers by replacing portions of the source/drain material exposed by the openings with a first dielectric material; lining sidewalls of the openings with a ferroelectric material; forming gate electrodes by filling the openings with an electrically conductive material; forming a recess through the first layer stack and the second layer stack, the recess extending from a sidewall of the second layer stack toward the gate electrodes; and filling the recess with a second dielectric material.

    Abstract: A method includes providing a structure having a substrate, gate stacks and source/drain (S/D) features over the substrate, S/D contacts over the S/D features, one or more dielectric layers over the gate stacks and the S/D contacts, and a via structure penetrating the one or more dielectric layers and electrically connecting to one of the gate stacks and the S/D contacts. The method further includes forming a ferroelectric (FE) stack over the structure, wherein the FE stack includes an FE layer and a top electrode layer over the FE layer, wherein the FE stack directly contacts the via structure; and patterning the FE stack, resulting in a patterned FE stack including a patterned FE feature and a patterned top electrode over the patterned FE feature.

    Abstract: Semiconductor devices and methods of forming the same are provided. In one embodiment, a semiconductor device includes a fin extending from a substrate, a gate structure over a channel region of the fin, a source/drain contact over a source/drain region of the fin, a spacer extending along a sidewall of the gate structure, a liner extending along a sidewall of the source/drain contact, a gate contact via over and electrically coupled to the gate structure, and a source/drain contact via over and electrically coupled to the source/drain contact. The gate contact via extends through a first dielectric layer such that a portion of the first dielectric layer interposes between the gate contact via and the spacer. The source/drain contact via extends through a second dielectric layer such that a portion of the second dielectric layer interposes between the source/drain contact via and the liner.

    Abstract: A method includes forming a first dummy source/drain (S/D) contact over a first epitaxial S/D feature and a second dummy S/D contact over a second epitaxial S/D feature, where first and the second dummy S/D contacts may be formed in an interlayer dielectric (ILD) layer; removing a portion of the first dummy S/D contact, a portion of the second dummy S/D contact, and a portion of the ILD layer disposed between the first and the second dummy S/D contacts to form a first trench; removing a remaining portion of the first dummy S/D contact to form a second trench; and forming a metal S/D contact in the first and the second trenches. The first and the second dummy S/D contacts include a dielectric material different from a dielectric material of the ILD layer.
