    Abstract: A magneto-resistive memory (MRM) structure includes a source line and a first transistor that includes a source region and a drain region. The source line is electrically connected to the source region of the first transistor. The MRM structure further includes an MRM cell that includes an MRM transistor electrically in series with an MRM magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ). The MRM transistor is electrically connected to the drain region of the first transistor such that the MRM cell is electrically in series with the first transistor. Still further, the MRM structure further includes a voltage amplifier electrically connected to a mid-point node of the first transistor and the MRM transistor, a sense-amplifier electrically connected to the voltage amplifier, and a bit line electrically connected to the MRM MTJ of the MRM cell.

    Abstract: Grating couplers and methods of fabricating a grating coupler. The grating coupler may include a plurality of grating structures arranged on a substrate and a layer arranged over the grating structures. The grating structures are composed of a first material characterized by a first refractive index with a real part. The layer is composed of a second material characterized by a second refractive index with a real part. The real part of the second refractive index is greater than the real part of the first refractive index of the first material for electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength in a range of 1 micron to 9 microns.

    Abstract: One method disclosed includes, among other things, covering the top surface and a portion of the sidewalls of an initial fin structure with etch stop material, forming a sacrificial gate structure around the initial fin structure, forming a sidewall spacer adjacent the sacrificial gate structure, removing the sacrificial gate structure, with the etch stop material in position, to thereby define a replacement gate cavity, performing at least one etching process through the replacement gate cavity to remove a portion of the semiconductor substrate material of the fin structure positioned under the replacement gate cavity that is not covered by the etch stop material so as to thereby define a final fin structure and a channel cavity positioned below the final fin structure and substantially filling the channel cavity with a stressed material.

    Abstract: Embodiments herein provide approaches for device isolation in a complimentary metal-oxide fin field effect transistor. Specifically, a semiconductor device is formed with a retrograde doped layer over a substrate to minimize a source to drain punch-through leakage. A set of replacement fins is formed over the retrograde doped layer, each of the set of replacement fins comprising a high mobility channel material (e.g., silicon, or silicon-germanium). The retrograde doped layer may be formed using an in situ doping process or a counter dopant retrograde implant. The device may further include a carbon liner positioned between the retrograde doped layer and the set of replacement fins to prevent carrier spill-out to the replacement fins.
