Abstract: A bottom electrode structure for a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) containing device is provided. The bottom electrode structure includes a mesa portion that is laterally surrounded by a recessed region. The recessed region of the bottom electrode structure is laterally adjacent to a dielectric material, and a MTJ pillar is located on the mesa portion of the bottom electrode structure. Such a configuration shields the recessed region from impinging ions thus preventing deposition of resputtered conductive metal particles from the bottom electrode onto the MTJ pillar.

Abstract: A semiconductor structure and fabrication method of forming a semiconductor structure. The structure is a MRAM element having a first conductive electrode embedded in a first interconnect dielectric material layer upon which a multi-layered magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) memory element is formed in a magnetoresistive random access memory (MRAM) device area. The first conductive electrode includes a first end having a top surface of a first surface area and a second end having a bottom surface of a second surface area, the first surface area being smaller than the second surface area. The second end of the bottom electrode includes a barrier liner material including a metal fill material, and the first end of the bottom electrode is a pillar structure formed as a result of an etchback process in which the metal barrier liner is recessed relative to the metal fill material.

Abstract: A nanodevice includes an array of metal nanorods formed on a substrate. An electropolymerized electrical conductor is formed over tops of a portion of the nanorods to form a reservoir between the electropolymerized conductor and the substrate. The electropolymerized conductor includes pores that open or close responsively to electrical signals applied to the nanorods. A cell loading region is disposed in proximity of the reservoir, and the cell loading region is configured to receive stem cells. A neurotrophic dispensing material is loaded in the reservoir to be dispersed in accordance with open pores to affect growth of the stem cells when in vivo.

Abstract: A magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) containing device and methods of constructing the MTJ containing device are described. In an example, the MTJ containing device may be a memory element including a bottom electrode structure, a MTJ pillar, and a top electrode structure located on the MTJ pillar. The MTJ pillar has a non-circular lateral cross section, where the MTJ pillar has a bottommost portion forming an interface with an uppermost portion of the bottom electrode structure. The MTJ pillar has a lateral perimeter-to-area ratio that defines a breakdown voltage of the MTJ pillar.

Abstract: Techniques for MRAM patterning using a diamond-like carbon hardmask are provided. In one aspect, a method of forming an MRAM device includes: forming an MRAM stack on a substrate; depositing a metal hardmask layer on the MRAM stack; depositing a diamond-like carbon layer on the metal hardmask layer; forming a patterned resist on the diamond-like carbon layer; patterning the diamond-like carbon layer using the patterned resist to form a diamond-like carbon pillar; patterning the metal hardmask layer using the diamond-like carbon pillar to form a patterned metal hardmask; and patterning the MRAM stack into an MRAM pillar using the patterned metal hardmask to form the MRAM device. An MRAM device is also provided.
