    Abstract: A method of forming a photonic device structure comprises forming a photoresist over a photonic material over a substrate. The photoresist is exposed to radiation through a gray-tone mask to form at least one photoexposed region and at least one non-photoexposed region of the photoresist. The at least one photoexposed region of the photoresist or the at least one non-photoexposed region of the photoresist is removed to form photoresist features. The photoresist features and unprotected portions of the photonic material are removed to form photonic features. Other methods of forming a photonic device structure, and a method of forming an electronic device are also described.

    Abstract: Some embodiments include methods of programming a memory cell. A plurality of charge carriers may be moved within the memory cell, with an average charge across the moving charge carriers having an absolute value greater than 2. Some embodiments include methods of forming and programming an ionic-transport-based memory cell. A stack is formed to have programmable material between first and second electrodes. The programmable material has mobile ions which are moved within the programmable material to transform the programmable material from one memory state to another. An average charge across the moving mobile ions has an absolute value greater than 2. Some embodiments include memory cells with programmable material between first and second electrodes. The programmable material includes an aluminum nitride first layer, and includes a second layer containing a mobile ion species in common with the first layer.

    Abstract: A magnetic cell includes a magnetic tunnel junction that comprises magnetic and nonmagnetic materials exhibiting hexagonal crystal structures. The hexagonal crystal structure is enabled by a seed material, proximate to the magnetic tunnel junction, that exhibits a hexagonal crystal structure matching the hexagonal crystal structure of the adjoining magnetic material of the magnetic tunnel junction. In some embodiments, the seed material is formed adjacent to an amorphous foundation material that enables the seed material to be formed at the hexagonal crystal structure. In some embodiments, the magnetic cell includes hexagonal cobalt (h-Co) free and fixed regions and a hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) tunnel barrier region with a hexagonal zinc (h-Zn) seed region adjacent the h-Co. The structure of the magnetic cell enables high tunnel magnetoresistance, high magnetic anisotropy strength, and low damping. Methods of fabrication and semiconductor devices are also disclosed.
