Abstract: A memory device includes a stack of gate electrode layers and interconnect layers arranged over a substrate. A first memory cell that is arranged over the substrate includes a first source/drain conductive lines and a second source/drain conductive line extending vertically through the stack of gate electrode layers. A channel layer and a memory layer are arranged on outer sidewalls of the first and second source/drain conductive lines. A first barrier structure is arranged between the first and second source/drain conductive lines. A first protective liner layer separates the first barrier structure from each of the first and second source/drain conductive lines. A second barrier structure is arranged on an opposite side of the first source/drain conductive line and is spaced apart from the first source/drain conductive line by a second protective liner layer.

Abstract: Various embodiments of the present application are directed towards a metal-ferroelectric-metal-insulator-semiconductor (MFMIS) memory device, as well as a method for forming the MFMIS memory device. According to some embodiments of the MFMIS memory device, a first source/drain region and a second source/drain region are vertically stacked. An internal gate electrode and a semiconductor channel overlie the first source/drain region and underlie the second source/drain region. The semiconductor channel extends from the first source/drain region to the second source/drain region, and the internal gate electrode is electrically floating. A gate dielectric layer is between and borders the internal gate electrode and the semiconductor channel. A control gate electrode is on an opposite side of the internal gate electrode as the semiconductor channel and is uncovered by the second source/drain region. A ferroelectric layer is between and borders the control gate electrode and the internal gate electrode.

Abstract: The present disclosure, in some embodiments, relates to a memory device. In some embodiments, the memory device comprises a substrate and an interconnect structure disposed over the substrate. The interconnect structure comprises stacked interconnect metal layers disposed within stacked interlayer dielectric (ILD) layers. A memory cell is disposed between an upper interconnect metal layer and an intermediate interconnect metal layer. A selecting transistor is connected to the memory cell and disposed between the intermediate interconnect metal layer and a lower interconnect metal layer. By placing the selecting transistor within the back-end interconnect structure between two interconnect metal layers, front-end space is saved, and more integration flexibility is provided.
