摘要: A semiconductor structure is provided. The structure includes a RRAM cell having a first end and a second end. The second end is connected to a first potential. The structure includes a decoupling capacitor having a first end connected in series with the first end of the RRAM cell and a second end connected to a second potential. The structure includes a FET arranged across the capacitor to form a bridged capacitor by having a FET source connected to the first end of the capacitor and a FET drain connected to the second end of the capacitor. A paired activation and subsequent deactivation of the FET enables a short protection mode of the capacitor that provides a series resistance above a threshold amount, between the second potential and the first end of the RRAM cell, responsive to a detected short of the capacitor from the supply to the first potential.

摘要: An integrated semiconductor device includes a substrate, a first vertical transistor, and a second vertical transistor. The substrate has a first substrate region and a second substrate region. The first vertical transistor is disposed on the substrate in the first substrate region. The first vertical transistor is n-type field-effect vertical transistor (n-VFET) with a first channel crystalline orientation. The second vertical transistor is disposed on the substrate in the second substrate region. The second vertical transistor is p-type field-effect vertical transistor (p-VFET) with a second channel crystalline orientation. The first channel crystalline orientation is different from the second channel orientation. A common bottom source and drain region as well as common bottom and top spacers regions are provided for the first vertical transistor and the second vertical transistor.

摘要: A memory device with crossbar array structure includes two sets of parallel bottom electrodes positioned on a substrate. The lower bottom electrodes are located at a lower position relative to higher bottom electrodes. The device includes a first set of corner tips of the lower bottom electrodes, and a second set of corner tips at a top of the higher bottom electrodes. The device also includes a set of parallel top electrodes intersecting the two sets of parallel bottom electrodes. A dielectric is formed as a resistive random-access memory (RRAM) cell under each intersection of each top electrode and each of bottom electrode. The device further includes one set of contacts at one end of an array that contacts the lower bottom electrodes and another set of contacts at the other end of the array that contacts the higher bottom electrodes.

摘要: A method is presented for forming vertical crossbar resistive random access memory (RRAM) cells. The method includes forming a substantially U-shaped bottom electrode over a substrate, filling the U-shaped bottom electrode with a first conductive material, capping the U-shaped bottom electrode with a dielectric cap, depositing a high-k material, and forming a top electrode such that active areas of the RRAM cells are vertically aligned and the U-shaped bottom electrode is shared between neighboring RRAM cells.
