Abstract: Resistive memory cells, precursors thereof, and methods of making resistive memory cells are described. In some embodiments, the resistive memory cells are formed from a resistive memory precursor that includes a switching layer precursor containing a plurality of oxygen vacancies that are present in a controlled distribution therein, optionally without the use of an oxygen exchange layer. In these or other embodiments, the resistive memory precursors described may include a second electrode formed on a switching layer precursor, wherein the second electrode is includes a second electrode material that is conductive but which does not substantially react with oxygen. Devices including resistive memory cells are also described.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for enabling multi-sided condensation of semiconductor fins The techniques can be employed, for instance, in fabricating fin-based transistors. In one example case, a strain layer is provided on a bulk substrate. The strain layer is associated with a critical thickness that is dependent on a component of the strain layer, and the strain layer has a thickness lower than or equal to the critical thickness. A fin is formed in the substrate and strain layer, such that the fin includes a substrate portion and a strain layer portion. The fin is oxidized to condense the strain layer portion of the fin, so that a concentration of the component in the strain layer changes from a pre-condensation concentration to a higher post-condensation concentration, thereby causing the critical thickness to be exceeded.

Abstract: A method and a device made according to the method. The method comprises providing a substrate including a first material, and providing a fin including a second material, the fin being disposed on the substrate and having a device active portion, the first material and the second material presenting a lattice mismatch between respective crystalline structures thereof. Providing the fin includes providing a biaxially strained film including the second material on the substrate; and removing parts of the biaxially strained film to form a substantially uniaxially strained fin therefrom.
