Abstract: Describe is a resonator that uses ferroelectric (FE) materials in the gate of a transistor as a dielectric. The use of FE increases the strain/stress generated in the gate of the FinFET. Along with the usual capacitive drive, which is boosted with the increased polarization, FE material expands or contacts depending on the applied electric field on the gate of the transistor. As such, acoustic waves are generated by switching polarization of the FE materials. In some embodiments, the acoustic mode of the resonator is isolated using phononic gratings all around the resonator using the metal line above and vias' to body and dummy fins on the side. As such, a Bragg reflector is formed above the FE based transistor.

Abstract: Transistors, devices, systems, and methods are discussed related to transistors including a number of 2D material channel layers and source and drain control electrodes coupled to source and drain control regions of the 2D material channels. The source and drain control electrodes are on opposite sides of a gate electrode, which controls a channel region of the 2D material channels. The source and drain control electrodes provide for reduced contact resistance of the transistor, the ability to create complex logic gates, and other advantages.

Abstract: Transistor structures with monocrystalline metal chalcogenide channel materials are formed from a plurality of template regions patterned over a substrate. A crystal of metal chalcogenide may be preferentially grown from a template region and the metal chalcogenide crystals then patterned into the channel region of a transistor. The template regions may be formed by nanometer-dimensioned patterning of a metal precursor, a growth promoter, a growth inhibitor, or a defected region. A metal precursor may be a metal oxide suitable, which is chalcogenated when exposed to a chalcogen precursor at elevated temperature, for example in a chemical vapor deposition process.

Abstract: Techniques and mechanisms to provide electrical insulation between a gate and a channel region of a non-planar circuit device. In an embodiment, the gate structure, and insulation spacers at opposite respective sides of the gate structure, each extend over a semiconductor fin structure. In a region between the insulation spacers, a first dielectric layer extends conformally over the fin, and a second dielectric layer adjoins and extends conformally over the first dielectric layer. A third dielectric layer, adjoining the second dielectric layer and the insulation spacers, extends under the gate structure. Of the first, second and third dielectric layers, the third dielectric layer is conformal to respective sidewalls of the insulation spacers. In another embodiment, the second dielectric layer is of dielectric constant which is greater than that of the first dielectric layer, and equal to or less than that of the third dielectric layer.

Abstract: Described is a ferroelectric-based capacitor that improves reliability of a ferroelectric memory by using low-leakage insulating thin film. In one example, the low-leakage insulating thin film is positioned between a bottom electrode and a ferroelectric oxide. In another example, the low-leakage insulating thin film is positioned between a top electrode and ferroelectric oxide. In yet another example, the low-leakage insulating thin film is positioned in the middle of ferroelectric oxide to reduce the leakage current and improve reliability of the ferroelectric oxide.

Abstract: Describe is a resonator that uses anti-ferroelectric (AFE) materials in the gate of a transistor as a dielectric. The use of AFE increases the strain/stress generated in the gate of the FinFET. Along with the usual capacitive drive, which is boosted with the increased polarization, additional current drive is also achieved from the piezoelectric response generated to due to AFE material. In some embodiments, the acoustic mode of the resonator is isolated using phononic gratings all around the resonator using the metal line above and vias' to body and dummy fins on the side. As such, a Bragg reflector is formed above or below the AFE based transistor. Increased drive signal from the AFE results in larger output signal and larger bandwidth.
