    Abstract: Some embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method that achieves a substantially uniform pattern of discrete storage elements comprising a substantially equal size within a memory cell. A copolymer solution comprising first and second polymer species is spin-coated onto a surface of a substrate and subjected to self-assembly into a phase-separated material comprising a regular pattern of micro-domains of the second polymer species within a polymer matrix comprising the first polymer species. The first or second polymer species is then removed resulting with a pattern of micro-domains or the polymer matrix with a pattern of holes, which may be utilized as a hard-mask to form a substantially identical pattern of discrete storage elements through an etch, ion implant technique, or a combination thereof.

    Abstract: Some embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method that achieves a substantially uniform pattern of magnetic random access memory (MRAM) cells with a minimum dimension below the lower resolution limit of some optical lithography techniques. A copolymer solution comprising first and second polymer species is spin-coated over a heterostructure which resides over a surface of a substrate. The heterostructure comprises first and second ferromagnetic layers which are separated by an insulating layer. The copolymer solution is subjected to self-assembly into a phase-separated material comprising a pattern of micro-domains of the second polymer species within a polymer matrix comprising the first polymer species. The first polymer species is then removed, leaving a pattern of micro-domains of the second polymer species. A pattern of magnetic memory cells within the heterostructure is formed by etching through the heterostructure while utilizing the pattern of micro-domains as a hardmask.

    Abstract: Some embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method for forming flash memory. In this method, a tunnel oxide is formed over a semiconductor substrate. A layer of silicon dot nucleates is formed on the tunnel oxide. The layer of silicon dots includes silicon dot nucleates having respective initial sizes which differ according to a first size distribution. An etching process is performed to reduce the initial sizes of the silicon dot nucleates so reduced-size silicon dot nucleates have respective reduced sizes which differ according to a second size distribution. The second size distribution has a smaller spread than the first size distribution.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method of forming a capacitor structure, including depositing a plurality of first polysilicon (POLY) layers of uniform thickness separated by a plurality of oxide/nitride/oxide (ONO) layers over a bottom and sidewalls of a recess and substrate surface. A second POLY layer is deposited over the plurality of first POLY layers, is separated by an ONO layer, and fills a remainder of the recess. Portions of the second POLY layer and the second ONO layer are removed with a first chemical-mechanical polish (CMP). A portion of each of the plurality of first POLY layers and the first ONO layers on the surface which are not within a doped region of the capacitor structure are removed with a first pattern and etch process such that a top surface of each of the plurality of first POLY layers is exposed for contact formation.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a gallium-nitride (GaN) transistor device having a composite gallium nitride layer with alternating layers of GaN and aluminum nitride (AlN). In some embodiments, the GaN transistor device has a first GaN layer disposed above a semiconductor substrate. An AlN inter-layer is disposed on the first GaN layer. A second GaN layer is disposed on the AlN inter-layer. The AlN inter-layer allows for the thickness of the GaN layer to be increased over continuous GaN layers, mitigating bowing and cracking of the GaN substrate, while improving the breakdown voltage of the disclosed GaN device.
