Abstract: In a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, a magnetic random access memory (MRAM) cell structure is formed. The MRAM cell structure includes a bottom electrode, a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) stack and a top electrode. A first insulating cover layer is formed over the MRAM cell structure. A second insulating cover layer is formed over the first insulating cover layer. An interlayer dielectric (ILD) layer is formed. A contact opening in the ILD layer is formed, thereby exposing the second insulating cover layer. A part of the second insulating cover layer and a part of the first insulating cover layer are removed, thereby exposing the top electrode. A conductive layer is formed in the opening contacting the top electrode.

Abstract: A method for forming a semiconductor memory device is provided. The method includes forming a sacrificial via in a dielectric layer over a substrate, forming a first active layer over the dielectric layer, forming an insulating layer over the first active layer, and forming a second active layer over the insulating layer. The method also includes forming a trench through the second active layer, the insulating layer and the first active layer and corresponding to the sacrificial via, removing the sacrificial via to form a via hole in the dielectric layer, and filling the trench and the via hole with a conductive material.

Abstract: Various embodiments of the present application are directed towards a bipolar selector having independently tunable threshold voltages, as well as a memory cell comprising the bipolar selector and a memory array comprising the memory cell. In some embodiments, the bipolar selector comprises a first unipolar selector and a second unipolar selector. The first and second unipolar selectors are electrically coupled in parallel with opposite orientations and may, for example, be diodes or some other suitable unipolar selectors. By placing the first and second unipolar selectors in parallel with opposite orientations, the first unipolar selector independently defines a first threshold voltage of the bipolar selector and the second unipolar selector independently defines a second threshold voltage of the bipolar selector. As a result, the first and second threshold voltages can be independently tuned by adjusting parameters of the first and second unipolar selectors.

Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards a metal-ferroelectric-insulator-semiconductor (MFIS) memory device, as well as a method for forming the MFIS memory device. According to some embodiments of the MFIS memory device, a lower source/drain region and an upper source/drain region are vertically stacked. A semiconductor channel overlies the lower source/drain region and underlies the upper source/drain region. The semiconductor channel extends from the lower source/drain region to the upper source/drain region. A control gate electrode extends along a sidewall of the semiconductor channel and further along individual sidewalls of the lower and upper source/drain regions. A gate dielectric layer and a ferroelectric layer separate the control gate electrode from the semiconductor channel and the lower and upper source/drain regions.
