    Abstract: Replacement gate work function material stacks are provided, which provides a work function about the energy level of the conduction band of silicon. After removal of a disposable gate stack, a gate dielectric layer is formed in a gate cavity. A metallic compound layer including a metal and a non-metal element is deposited directly on the gate dielectric layer. At least one barrier layer and a conductive material layer is deposited and planarized to fill the gate cavity. The metallic compound layer includes a material, which provides, in combination with other layer, a work function about 4.4 eV or less, and can include a material selected from tantalum carbide, metallic nitrides, and a hafnium-silicon alloy. Thus, the metallic compound layer can provide a work function that enhances the performance of an n-type field effect transistor employing a silicon channel. Optionally, carbon doping can be introduced in the channel.

    Abstract: A Resistive Random-Access Memory (RRAM) has an internal electrode; a high k dielectric layer surrounding and in contact with the internal electrode; a lower substrate; and a trench having three or more trench sides disposed within the lower substrate; and one or more interconnects each with an interconnect side. The interconnect side forms part of one of the trench sides. The internal electrode and the high k dielectric layer are disposed within the trench with the interconnect side in contact with the high k dielectric layer. In some embodiments, an external electrode is between and electrically connected to the high k dielectric layer and the internal electrode. The external electrode then forms the electrical connection between the high k dielectric and the interconnect side. Multiple embodiments are disclosed including RRAMs created in multiple substrates; different RRAM configurations; and dual, three-wire RRAMs with two interconnects. Arrays of RRAMs and methods of making are also disclosed.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to a method that includes forming a first channel fin in an n-type region of a substrate, forming a second channel fin in a p-type region of the substrate, and depositing a gate dielectric over the substrate and the first and second channel fins. A work function metal stack is deposited over the gate dielectric, the first fin in the n-type region, and the second fin in the p-type region. The work function metal stack over the gate dielectric and the first fin in the n-type region forms a first work function metal stack. The work function metal stack over the gate dielectric and the second fin in the p-type region forms a second work function metal stack. The first work function metal stack includes at least one shared layer of work function metal that is shared with the second work function metal stack.
