Abstract: Embodiments herein describe techniques for an integrated circuit (IC). The IC may include a capacitor. The capacitor may include a first electrode, a second electrode, and a paraelectric layer between the first electrode and the second electrode. A first interface with a first work function exists between the paraelectric layer and the first electrode. A second interface with a second work function exists between the paraelectric layer and the second electrode. The paraelectric layer may include a ferroelectric material or an anti-ferroelectric material. A built-in electric field associated with the first work function and the second work function may exist between the first electrode and the second electrode. The built-in electric field may be at a voltage value where the capacitor may operate at a center of a memory window of a polarization-voltage hysteresis loop of the capacitor. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Abstract: Described is a ferroelectric-based capacitor that improves reliability of a ferroelectric memory by providing tensile stress along a plane (e.g., x-axis) of a ferroelectric or anti-ferroelectric material of the ferroelectric/anti-ferroelectric based capacitor. Tensile stress is provided by a spacer comprising metal, semimetal, or oxide (e.g., metal or oxide of one or more of: Al, Ti, Hf, Si, Ir, or N). The tensile stress provides polar orthorhombic phase to the ferroelectric material and tetragonal phase to the anti-ferroelectric material. As such, memory window and reliability of the ferroelectric/anti-ferroelectric oxide thin film improves.

Abstract: Tunneling field effect transistors (TFETs) including a variable bandgap channel are described. In some embodiments, one or more bandgap characteristics of the variable bandgap channel may be dynamically altered by at least one of the application or withdrawal of a force, such as a voltage or electric field. In some embodiments the variable bandgap channel may be configured to modulate from an ON to an OFF state and vice versa in response to the application and/or withdrawal of a force. The variable bandgap channel may exhibit a bandgap that is smaller in the ON state than in the OFF state. As a result, the TFETs may exhibit one or more of relatively high on current, relatively low off current, and sub-threshold swing below 60 mV/decade.

Abstract: Techniques and mechanisms for a transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) material to be grown on one structure, and then transferred to a different structure. In an embodiment, one or more monolayers of a TMD material are grown on a workpiece comprising a substrate, a growth layer, and a release layer. A material of the substrate is transparent to a wavelength of a laser light, wherein the release layer is opaque to said wavelength. The resulting material stack is then coupled to a target structure, after which a laser ablation is performed to remove some or all of the release layer from between the substrate and the growth layer. The ablation enables the substrate to be separated from the one or more monolayers. In an embodiment, a residue on a surface of the one or more TMD monolayers is an artefact of the layer transfer process.

Abstract: An integrated circuit device includes a stack of capacitors with a vertical first electrode coupled to a stack of individual second electrodes by an insulating storage material between first and second electrodes, and an access transistor coaxially aligned with, and coupled to, the vertical first electrode. The storage material may be a ferroelectric material. A gate dielectric of the access transistor may be around, and coaxial with, a channel region. The channel region may be vertically oriented and coaxial with the first electrode. A second access transistor may be similarly aligned with the first electrode and the stack of capacitors with the capacitor stack between the transistors. A channel of the second transistor may be around, and coaxial with, a gate dielectric. The transistors and capacitor stack may be in arrays of transistors and capacitor stacks. A self-aligned process may be used to form the capacitor and transistor arrays.
