    Abstract: One or more processors determine a predicted sorting bin of a semiconductor device, based on measurement and test data performed on the semiconductor device subsequent to a current metallization layer. A current predicted sorting bin and a target sorting bin are determined by a machine learning model for the semiconductor device; the target bin include higher performance semiconductor devices than the predicted sorting bin. The model determines a performance level improvement attainable by adjustments made to process parameters of subsequent metallization layers of the semiconductor device. Adjustments to process parameters are generated, based on measurement and test data of the current metallization layer of semiconductor device, and the adjustment outputs for the process parameters of the subsequent metallization layers of the semiconductor device are made available to the one or more subsequent metallization layer processes by a feed-forward mechanism.

    Abstract: One or more processors determine a predicted sorting bin of a semiconductor device, based on measurement and test data performed on the semiconductor device subsequent to a current metallization layer. A current predicted sorting bin and a target soring bin are determined by a machine learning model for the semiconductor device; the target bin include higher performance semiconductor devices than the predicted sorting bin. The model determines a performance level improvement attainable by adjustments made to process parameters of subsequent metallization layers of the semiconductor device. Adjustments to process parameters are generated, based on measurement and test data of the current metallization layer of semiconductor device, and the adjustment outputs for the process parameters of the subsequent metallization layers of the semiconductor device are made available to the one or more subsequent metallization layer processes by a feed-forward mechanism.

    Abstract: A semiconductor structure includes a memory element disposed on a first metal layer. A first cap layer is disposed on the first metal layer and sidewalls of the memory element. A first dielectric layer is disposed on a top surface of the first cap layer on the first metal layer and a portion of the first cap layer on the sidewalls of the memory element. A second metal layer is disposed on the first dielectric layer and sidewalls of the first cap layer. A second cap layer is disposed on a top surface of the second metal layer. A second dielectric layer is disposed on the second cap layer. A via is in the second dielectric layer and exposes a top surface of the memory element. A third metal layer is disposed on the second dielectric layer and in the via.
