Abstract: A memory device includes a first electrode, a conductive layer including iridium above the first electrode and a magnetic junction directly on the conductive layer. The magnetic junction further includes a pinning structure above the conductive layer, a fixed magnet above the pinning structure, a tunnel barrier on the fixed magnet, a free magnet on the tunnel barrier layer and a second electrode above the free magnet. The conductive layer including iridium and the pinning structure including iridium provide switching efficiency.

Abstract: A memory device includes a first electrode, a second electrode and a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) between the first electrode and the second electrode. The MTJ includes a fixed magnet, a free magnet and a tunnel barrier between the fixed magnet and the free magnet. The MTJ further includes a conductive layer between the free magnet and the second electrode, the conductive layer having a metallic dopant, where the metallic dopant has a concentration that increase with distance from an interface between the free magnet and the conductive layer. A capping layer is between the conductive layer and the second electrode.

Abstract: Techniques for forming thin film transistors (TFTs) having multilayer and/or concentration gradient semiconductor regions. An example integrated circuit includes a gate electrode, a gate dielectric on the gate electrode, and a semiconductor region on the gate dielectric. In some cases, the semiconductor region includes a plurality of compositionally different material layers, at least two layers of the different material layers each being a semiconductor layer. In some other cases, the semiconductor region includes a single layer having a material concentration gradient extending from a bottom surface of the single layer (adjacent to the gate dielectric) to a top surface of the single layer. The integrated circuit further includes first and second conductive contacts that each contact a respective portion of the semiconductor region. One example application of the techniques is with respect to forming backend (within the interconnect region) memory structures configured with multilayer and/or concentration gradient TFTs.

Abstract: Techniques are provided herein for forming thin film transistor structures having co-doped semiconductor regions. The addition of insulating dopants can be used to improve the performance, stability, and reliability of the TFT. A given TFT structure within an array of similar TFT structures formed in an interconnect region may include a semiconductor region that is co-doped with one or more additional elements. The doping profile can be tuned to optimize performance, stability, and reliability of the TFT structure. In some embodiments, the doping profile causes an overall reduction in the conductivity of the semiconductor region, leading to a higher threshold voltage. Designing access devices (in, for example, a DRAM architecture) with higher threshold voltages can be beneficial for improving reliability of the memory cell.
