摘要:
A semiconductor device comprising a semiconductor body having a top surface and a first and second laterally opposite sidewalls as formed on an insulating substrate is claimed. A gate dielectric is formed on the top surface of the semiconductor body and on the first and second laterally opposite sidewalls of the semiconductor body. A gate electrode is then formed on the gate dielectric on the top surface of the semiconductor body and adjacent to the gate dielectric on the first and second laterally opposite sidewalls of the semiconductor body. The gate electrode comprises a metal film formed directly adjacent to the gate dielectric layer. A pair of source and drain regions are then formed in the semiconductor body on opposite sides of the gate electrode.

A method for making a semiconductor device is described. That method comprises forming on a substrate a dielectric layer and a sacrificial structure that comprises a first layer and a second layer, such that the second layer is formed on the first layer and is wider than the first layer. After the sacrificial structure is removed to generate a trench, a metal gate electrode is formed within the trench.

An insulating layer is deposited over a transistor structure. The transistor structure comprises a gate electrode over a device layer on a substrate. The transistor structure comprises a first contact region and a second contact region on the device layer at opposite sides of the gate electrode. A trench is formed in the first insulating layer over the first contact region. A metal-insulator phase transition material layer with a S-shaped IV characteristic is deposited in the trench or in the via of the metallization layer above on the source side.

Conductive oxide random access memory (CORAM) cells and methods of fabricating CORAM cells are described. For example, a material layer stack for a memory element includes a first conductive electrode. An insulating layer is disposed on the first conductive oxide and has an opening with sidewalls therein that exposes a portion of the first conductive electrode. A conductive oxide layer is disposed in the opening, on the first conductive electrode and along the sidewalls of the opening. A second electrode is disposed in the opening, on the conductive oxide layer.

A static random-access memory circuit includes at least one access device including source and drain sections for a pass region, at least one pull-up device and at least one pull-down device including source-and-drain sections for a pull-down region. The static random-access memory circuit is configured with external resistivity (Rext) for the pull-down region to be lower than Rext for the pass region. Processes of achieving the static random-access memory circuit include source-and-drain epitaxy.

Spin transfer torque memory (STTM) devices with half-metals and methods to write and read the devices are described. For example, a magnetic tunneling junction includes a free magnetic layer, a fixed magnetic layer, and a dielectric layer disposed between the free magnetic layer and the fixed magnetic layer. One or both of the free magnetic layer and the fixed magnetic layer includes a half-metal material at an interface with the dielectric layer.

摘要:
A capacitor includes a substrate (110, 210), a first electrically insulating layer (120, 220) over the substrate, and a fin (130, 231) including a semiconducting material (135) over the first electrically insulating layer. A first electrically conducting layer (140, 810) is located over the first electrically insulating layer and adjacent to the fin. A second electrically insulating layer (150, 910) is located adjacent to the first electrically conducting layer, and a second electrically conducting layer (160, 1010) is located adjacent to the second electrically insulating layer. The first and second electrically conducting layers together with the second electrically insulating layer form a metal-insulator-metal stack that greatly increases the capacitance area of the capacitor. In one embodiment the capacitor is formed using what may be referred to as a removable metal gate (RMG) approach.
