    Abstract: The present disclosure, in some embodiments, relates to a memory device. In some embodiments, the memory device comprises a substrate and an interconnect structure disposed over the substrate. The interconnect structure comprises stacked interconnect metal layers disposed within stacked interlayer dielectric (ILD) layers. A memory cell is disposed between an upper interconnect metal layer and an intermediate interconnect metal layer. A selecting transistor is connected to the memory cell and disposed between the intermediate interconnect metal layer and a lower interconnect metal layer. By placing the selecting transistor within the back-end interconnect structure between two interconnect metal layers, front-end space is saved, and more integration flexibility is provided.

    Abstract: An integrated chip has a memory cell that includes a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) device and an access selector apparatus. The MTJ device includes a free layer and a pinned layer. The access selector apparatus includes a first metal structure and a second metal structure separated by one or more non-metallic layers. The first metal structure includes a polarized magnetic layer. The polarized magnetic layer produces a magnetic field that extends through the free layer, tilting its magnetic field and thereby substantially reducing a switching time for the MTJ device. The access selector apparatus may be a bipolar selector. The polarized magnetic layer may be incorporated into an electrode of the bipolar selector. Both the access selector apparatus and the MTJ device may be formed by a stack of material layers. The resulting memory cell may be compact and have good write speed.

    Abstract: A semiconductor device comprises a semiconductor substrate, and a pair of metal gates extends upwards from the semiconductor substrate. First and second channel regions are disposed between inner sidewalls of the pair of metal gates. First and second drain regions are disposed between the inner sidewalls of the pair of metal gates and are disposed directly over the first and second channel regions, respectively. First and second source regions are disposed between the inner sidewalls of the pair of metal gates directly below the first and second channel regions, respectively. A capacitor dielectric structure is disposed below the first and second source regions. A bottom capacitor electrode is disposed below the capacitor dielectric. The capacitor dielectric structure separates the first and second drain regions from the bottom capacitor electrode.
