Abstract: Described is a ferroelectric-based capacitor that improves reliability of a ferroelectric memory by using low-leakage insulating thin film. In one example, the low-leakage insulating thin film is positioned between a bottom electrode and a ferroelectric oxide. In another example, the low-leakage insulating thin film is positioned between a top electrode and ferroelectric oxide. In yet another example, the low-leakage insulating thin film is positioned in the middle of ferroelectric oxide to reduce the leakage current and improve reliability of the ferroelectric oxide.

Abstract: An integrated circuit with at least one transistor is formed using a buffer structure on the substrate. The buffer structure includes one or more layers of buffer material and comprises indium, gallium, and phosphorous. A ratio of indium to gallium in the buffer structure increases from a lower value to a higher value such that the buffer structure has small changes in lattice constant to control relaxation and defects. A source and a drain are on top of the buffer structure and a body of Group III-V semiconductor material extends between and connects the source and the drain. A gate structure wrapped around the body, the gate structure including a gate electrode and a gate dielectric, wherein the gate dielectric is between the body and the gate electrode.

Abstract: In memory devices where a memory cell includes a thin film cell select transistor, selection between layers of such memory cells may further comprise another thin film select transistor. Bitline and wordline encoding suitable for a memory device having a single layer of memory cells may be scaled up to a 3D memory device having two or more memory cell layers. In a DRAM device one layer of (1TFT-1C) cells may include a 2D array of metal-insulator-metal capacitors over an array of TFTs. Additional layers of such 1TFT-1C cells may be stacked monolithically to form a 3D array. Memory cells in each layer may be accessed through a wordline and local bitline. A local bitline of one cell layer may be coupled to global bitline applicable to all cell layers through a layer-selected TFT according to a voltage applied to a layer-select gate voltage.

Abstract: Tunneling Field Effect Transistors (TFETs) are promising devices in that they promise significant performance increase and energy consumption decrease due to a steeper subthreshold slope (for example, smaller sub-threshold swing). In various embodiments, vertical fin-based TFETs can be fabricated in trenches, for example, silicon trenches. In another embodiment, vertical TFETs can be used on different material systems acting as a substrate and/or trenches (for example, Si, Ge, III-V semiconductors, GaN, and the like). In one embodiment, the tunneling direction in the channel of the vertical TFET can be perpendicular to the Si substrates. In one embodiment, this can be different than the tunneling direction in the channel of lateral TFETs.

Abstract: Techniques and mechanisms to provide electrical insulation between a gate and a channel region of a non-planar circuit device. In an embodiment, the gate structure, and insulation spacers at opposite respective sides of the gate structure, each extend over a semiconductor fin structure. In a region between the insulation spacers, a first dielectric layer extends conformally over the fin, and a second dielectric layer adjoins and extends conformally over the first dielectric layer. A third dielectric layer, adjoining the second dielectric layer and the insulation spacers, extends under the gate structure. Of the first, second and third dielectric layers, the third dielectric layer is conformal to respective sidewalls of the insulation spacers. In another embodiment, the second dielectric layer is of dielectric constant which is greater than that of the first dielectric layer, and equal to or less than that of the third dielectric layer.
