    摘要: A semiconductor nanosheet device including semiconductor channel layers vertically aligned and stacked one on top of another, separated by a work function metal, and a second layer between two first layers, the second layer and two first layers between the semiconductor channel layers and a substrate. A semiconductor device including a lower first layer, a second layer, and a source drain region between a first set of semiconductor channel layers vertically aligned and stacked one on top of another, and a second set of semiconductor channel layers. A method including forming a stack sacrificial layer, a stack of nanosheet layers, forming a cavity by removing the stack sacrificial layer, and simultaneously forming a first layer on an upper surface of the stack sacrificial layer, on vertical side surfaces of the set of sacrificial gates, and an upper first layer and a lower first layer in a portion of the cavity.

    摘要: An embedded eMRAM device for eFlash replacement including an MTJ pillar located between a top electrode and a bottom electrode for forming an MRAM array. The bottom electrode is disposed above a substrate and surrounded by a first dielectric spacer, while the top electrode is disposed above the MTJ pillar and surrounded by a second dielectric spacer. A bottom metal plate is disposed on opposing sides of the bottom electrode between first and second dielectric layers and is electrically separated from the bottom electrode by the first dielectric spacer. A top metal plate is disposed on opposing sides of the top electrode between third and fourth dielectric layers and is electrically separated from the top electrode by the second dielectric spacer. A bias voltage applied to the top metal plate and the bottom metal plate generates an external electric field on the MTJ pillar for creating a VCMA effect.
