摘要:
Methods of forming depositing a ferroelectric thin film, such as PGO, by preparing a substrate with an upper surface of silicon, silicon oxide, or a high-k material, such as hafnium oxide, zirconium oxide, aluminum oxide, and lanthanum oxide, depositing an indium oxide film over the substrate, and then depositing the ferroelectric film using MOCVD.

An ultra-shallow surface channel MOS transistor and method for fabricating the same have been provided. The method comprises: forming CMOS source and drain regions, and an intervening well region; depositing a surface channel on the surface overlying the well region; forming a high-k dielectric overlying the surface channel; and, forming a gate electrode overlying the high-k dielectric. Typically, the surface channel is a metal oxide, and may be one of the following materials: indium oxide (In2O3), ZnO, RuO, ITO, or LaX-1SrXCoO3. In some aspects, the method further comprises: depositing a placeholder material overlying the surface channel; and, etching the placeholder material to form a gate region overlying the surface channel. In one aspect, the high-k dielectric is deposited prior to the deposition of the placeholder material. Alternately, the high-k dielectric is deposited following the etching of the placeholder material.
摘要:
One-transistor ferroelectric memory devices using an indium oxide film (In2O3), an In2O3 film structure, and corresponding fabrication methods have been provided. The method for controlling resistivity in an In2O3 film comprises: depositing an In film using a PVD process, typically with a power in the range of 200 to 300 watts; forming a film including In overlying a substrate material; simultaneously (with the formation of the In-including film) heating the substrate material, typically the substrate is heated to a temperature in the range of 20 to 200 degrees C.; following the formation of the In-including film, post-annealing, typically in an O2 atmosphere; and, in response to the post-annealing: forming an In2O3 film; and, controlling the resistivity in the In2O3 film. For example, the resistivity can be controlled in the range of 260 to 800 ohm-cm.

摘要:
Semiconductor growth substrates and associated systems and methods for die singulation are disclosed. A representative method for manufacturing semiconductor devices includes forming spaced-apart structures at a dicing street located between neighboring device growth regions of a substrate material. The method can further include epitaxially growing a semiconductor material by adding a first portion of semiconductor material to the device growth regions and adding a second portion of semiconductor material to the structures. The method can still further include forming semiconductor devices at the device growth regions, and separating the semiconductor devices from each other at the dicing street by removing the spaced-apart structures and the underlying substrate material at the dicing street.

摘要:
A compound semiconductor-on-silicon (Si) wafer with a Si nanowire buffer layer is provided, along with a corresponding fabrication method. The method forms a Si substrate. An insulator layer is formed overlying the Si substrate, with Si nanowires having exposed tips. Compound semiconductor is selectively deposited on the Si nanowire tips. A lateral epitaxial overgrowth (LEO) process grows compound semiconductor from the compound semiconductor-coated Si nanowire tips, to form a compound semiconductor layer overlying the insulator. Typically, the insulator layer overlying the Si substrate is a thermally soft insulator (TSI), silicon dioxide, or SiXNY, where x≦3 and Y≦4.

In one aspect, the Si nanowire tips are carbonized, and SiC is selectively deposited overlying the carbonized Si nanowire tips, prior to the selective deposition of compound semiconductor on the Si nanowire tips.
