    Abstract: A magnetic cell includes magnetic, secondary oxide, and getter seed regions. During formation, a diffusive species is transferred from a precursor magnetic material to the getter seed region, due to a chemical affinity elicited by a getter species. The depletion of the magnetic material enables crystallization of the depleted magnetic material through crystal structure propagation from a neighboring crystalline material, without interference from the now-enriched getter seed region. This promotes high tunnel magnetoresistance and high magnetic anisotropy strength. Also during formation, another diffusive species is transferred from a precursor oxide material to the getter seed region, due to a chemical affinity elicited by another getter species. The depletion of the oxide material enables lower electrical resistance and low damping in the cell structure. Methods of fabrication and semiconductor devices are also disclosed.

    Abstract: A magnetic cell includes a magnetic tunnel junction that comprises magnetic and nonmagnetic materials exhibiting hexagonal crystal structures. The hexagonal crystal structure is enabled by a seed material, proximate to the magnetic tunnel junction, that exhibits a hexagonal crystal structure matching the hexagonal crystal structure of the adjoining magnetic material of the magnetic tunnel junction. In some embodiments, the seed material is formed adjacent to an amorphous foundation material that enables the seed material to be formed at the hexagonal crystal structure. In some embodiments, the magnetic cell includes hexagonal cobalt (h-Co) free and fixed regions and a hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) tunnel barrier region with a hexagonal zinc (h-Zn) seed region adjacent the h-Co. The structure of the magnetic cell enables high tunnel magnetoresistance, high magnetic anisotropy strength, and low damping. Methods of fabrication and semiconductor devices are also disclosed.

The data storage region is configured to support a transitory structure which alters resistance through the memory cell. The data storage region includes two or more portions, with one of the portions supporting a higher resistance segment of the transitory structure than another of the portions. Some embodiments include a method of forming a memory cell. First oxide and second oxide regions are formed between a pair of conductive structures. The oxide regions are configured to support a transitory structure which alters resistance through the memory cell. The oxide regions are different from one another so that one of the oxide regions supports a higher resistance segment of the transitory structure than the other.

    Abstract: Memory circuitry comprising strings of memory cells comprises laterally-spaced memory blocks individually comprising a vertical stack comprising alternating insulative tiers and conductive tiers directly above a conductor tier. The insulative tiers and the conductive tiers of the laterally-spaced memory blocks extend from a memory-array region into a stair-step region. Strings of memory cells comprise operative channel-material strings that extend through the insulative tiers and the conductive tiers in individual of the laterally-spaced memory blocks in the memory-array region. The operative channel-material strings directly electrically couple with conductor material of the conductor tier. The individual laterally-spaced memory blocks comprise an intermediate region between the operative channel-material strings and the stair-step region. A dummy through-array-via (TAV) extends through the insulative tiers and the conductive tiers in the intermediate region in the individual laterally-spaced memory blocks. The dummy TAV is directly electrically coupled with the operative channel-material strings in its memory block. Other embodiments are disclosed.

    Abstract: A magnetic cell includes a magnetic region formed from a precursor magnetic material comprising a diffusive species and at least one other species. An amorphous region is proximate to the magnetic region and is formed from a precursor trap material comprising at least one attractor species having at least one trap site and a chemical affinity for the diffusive species. The diffusive species is transferred from the precursor magnetic material to the precursor trap material where it bonds to the at least one attractor species at the trap sites. The species of the enriched trap material may intermix such that the enriched trap material becomes or stays amorphous. The depleted magnetic material may then be crystallized through propagation from a neighboring crystalline material without interference from the amorphous, enriched trap material. This enables high tunnel magnetoresistance and high magnetic anisotropy strength. Methods of fabrication and semiconductor devices are also disclosed.
