    Abstract: A method is disclosed for operating a Conductive Bridge Random Access Memory (CBRAM) device that includes an electrolyte element sandwiched between a cation supply top electrode and a bottom electrode. The method comprises conditioning the CBRAM device by applying a forming current pulse having a pulse width (tf) of 100 ns or less and a pulse amplitude (If) of 10 uA or less, and when programming, setting the conditioned CBRAM device to a Low Resistance State (LRS) by applying a set current pulse having a pulse width (ts) of 100 ns or less and a pulse amplitude (Is) equal to or larger than the forming current pulse amplitude (If).

    Abstract: In one aspect, a method for manufacturing a three-dimensional (3D) semiconductor device is disclosed. It includes providing a vertical stack of alternating layers of a first layer type and a second layer type, and providing a first trench and a second trench adjacent the vertical stack. The first trench and the second trench can define a fin. The method further can include recessing the first layer type to form recesses extending into the fin, providing a first electrode in individual ones of the recesses, and providing a second electrode in the first trench and the second trench. The method further can include providing, for individual ones of the recesses, a lateral stack including a memory element, a middle electrode, and a selector element. The lateral stack can extend between the first electrode and the second electrode, thereby forming a memory device.

    Abstract: The disclosed technology relates to a structure for use in a metal-insulator-metal capacitor. In one aspect, the structure comprises a bottom electrode formed of a Ru layer. The Ru layer has a top surface characterized by a grazing incidence X-ray diffraction spectrum comprising a first intensity and a second intensity, the first intensity corresponding to a diffracting plane of Miller indices (0 0 2) being larger than the second intensity corresponding to a diffracting plane of Miller indices (1 0 1). The structure further comprises an interlayer on the top surface of the Ru layer, the interlayer being formed of an oxide of Sr and Ru having a cubic lattice structure, and a dielectric layer on the interlayer, the dielectric layer being formed of an oxide of Sr and Ti.

    Abstract: The disclosed technology generally relates to integrated circuit (IC) devices and more particularly to IC devices based on metal ion migration, and to manufacturing of the IC devices. In one aspect, a method of manufacturing an integrated electronic circuit, which includes at least one component based on metal ion migration and reduction, allows improved control of an amount of the metal which is incorporated into the component. This amount is produced from a metal supply layer and transferred into a container selectively with respect to the rest of the component. The container is configured as part of an electrolyte portion or active electrode in the final component. The method is compatible with two-dimensional and three-dimensional configurations of the component.

    Abstract: The disclosed technology generally relates to a switching device and more particularly to a switching device based on an active portion capable of switching from an insulating state to a conductive state. In an aspect, a switching device comprises an active portion interposed between two electrodes and capable of switching from an insulating state to a conducting state when a voltage higher than a threshold value is applied between the two electrodes. The threshold value is lowered by a dielectric permittivity distribution which produces a concentration of electrical field at a location within the active portion. Thus, the switching device may be devoid of a third control electrode.
