    摘要: In one embodiment, a method of fabricating one or more transistors in an integrated circuit includes an annealing step prior to a gate oxidation step. The annealing step may comprise a rapid thermal annealing (RTA) step performed prior to a gate oxidation pre-clean step. Among other advantages, the annealing step reduces a step height difference between P-doped and N-doped regions of a field oxide of a shallow trench isolation structure. The shallow trench isolation structure may be separating a PMOS transistor and an NMOS transistor in the integrated circuit.

    摘要: Programmable metallization memory cells that have an inert electrode and an active electrode positioned in a non-overlapping manner in relation to a substrate. A fast ion conductor material is in electrical contact with and extends from the inert electrode to the active electrode, the fast ion conductor including superionic clusters extending from the inert electrode to the active electrode. A metal layer extends from the inert electrode to the active electrode, yet is electrically insulated from each of the inert electrode and the active electrode by the fast ion conductor material. Methods for forming programmable metallization cells are also disclosed.

    摘要: Various embodiments of the present invention are generally directed to an apparatus and method for low temperature physical vapor deposition (PVD) of an amorphous thin film layer of material onto a substrate. A PVD chamber is configured to support a substrate and has a cathode target with a layer of sputtering material thereon, an anode shield, and a magnetron assembly adjacent the target. A high impulse power magnetron sputtering (HiPIMS) power supply is coupled to the PVD chamber, the power supply having a charging circuit and a charge storage device. The power supply applies relatively high energy, low duty cycle pulses to the magnetron assembly to sputter, via self ionizing plasma, relatively low energy ions from the layer of sputtering material to deposit an amorphous thin film layer onto the substrate.
