    Abstract: A sidewall-type memory cell (e.g., a CBRAM, ReRAM, or PCM cell) may include a bottom electrode, a top electrode layer defining a sidewall, and an electrolyte layer arranged between the bottom and top electrode layers, such that a conductive path is defined between the bottom electrode and a the top electrode sidewall via the electrolyte layer, wherein the bottom electrode layer extends generally horizontally with respect to a horizontal substrate, and the top electrode sidewall extends non-horizontally with respect to the horizontal substrate, such that when a positive bias-voltage is applied to the cell, a conductive path grows in a non-vertical direction (e.g., a generally horizontal direction or other non-vertical direction) between the bottom electrode and the top electrode sidewall.

    Abstract: Vapor cells may include a body including a cavity within the body. A first substrate bonded to a second substrate at an interface within the body, at least one of the first substrate, the second substrate, or an interfacial material between the first and second substrates may define at least one recess or pore in a surface. A smallest dimension of the at least one recess or pore may be about 500 microns or less, as measured in a direction parallel to at least one surface of the first substrate partially defining the cavity.

    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a flash memory device on a substrate may include: preparing the substrate with shallow trench isolation to define active sections; depositing a floating gate oxide layer on the prepared substrate; depositing a floating gate polysilicon layer on the floating gate oxide layer; polishing the floating gate polysilicon layer to isolate a plurality of floating gates above the active sections of the substrate; depositing a silicon nitride layer on top of the plurality of floating gates; patterning and etching the silicon nitride layer to create silicon nitride features; depositing a set of oxide spacers along sides of the silicon nitride features; implanting a source junction into the substrate beneath the individual floating gates; removing the floating gate polysilicon layer except where beneath individual oxide spacers, then removing the set of oxide spacers; depositing an inter-poly layer on top of the remaining floating gates; depositing a second polysilicon layer on top of the inter-poly layer; and patterning and etching the second polysilicon layer to separate the second polysilicon layer into word line devices and erase gates.

    Abstract: A method of forming a memory cell, e.g., flash memory cell, may include (a) depositing polysilicon over a substrate, (b) depositing a mask over the polysilicon, (c) etching an opening in the mask to expose a surface of the polysilicon, (d) growing a floating gate oxide at the exposed polysilicon surface, (e) depositing additional oxide above the floating gate oxide, such that the floating gate oxide and additional oxide collectively define an oxide cap, (f) removing mask material adjacent the oxide cap, (g) etching away portions of the polysilicon uncovered by the oxide cap, wherein a remaining portion of the polysilicon defines a floating gate, and (h) depositing a spacer layer over the oxide cap and floating gate. The spacer layer may includes a shielding region aligned over at least one upwardly-pointing tip region of the floating gate, which helps protect such tip region(s) from a subsequent source implant process.
