Abstract: An integrated chip includes a field plate overlying an isolation structure. A gate electrode overlies a substrate between a source region and a drain region. An etch stop layer laterally extends from an upper surface of the gate electrode to a front-side of the substrate. The etch stop layer overlies a drift region disposed between the source region and the drain region. The field plate is disposed within a first inter-level dielectric (ILD) layer overlying the substrate. The field plate extends from a top surface of the first ILD layer to an upper surface of the etch stop layer. The isolation structure is disposed within the substrate and extends from the front-side of the substrate to a point below the front-side of the substrate. The isolation structure is disposed laterally between the gate electrode and the drain region.

Abstract: The various described embodiments provide a transistor with a negative capacitance, and a method of creating the same. The transistor includes a gate structure having a ferroelectric layer. The ferroelectric layer is formed by forming a thick ferroelectric film, annealing the ferroelectric film to have a desired phase, and thinning the ferroelectric film to a desired thickness of the ferroelectric layer. This process ensures that the ferroelectric layer will have ferroelectric properties regardless of its thickness.

Abstract: A ferroelectric semiconductor device and method are described herein. The method includes performing a diffusion anneal process to drive elements of a dopant film through an amorphous silicon layer and into a gate dielectric layer over a fin to form a doped gate dielectric layer with a gradient depth profile of dopant concentrations. The doped gate dielectric layer is crystallized during a post-cap anneal process to form a gradient depth profile of ferroelectric properties within the crystallized gate dielectric layer. A metal gate electrode is formed over the crystallized gate dielectric layer to obtain a ferroelectric transistor with multi-ferroelectric properties between the gate electrode and the channel. The ferroelectric transistor may be used in deep neural network (DNN) applications.
