Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure describe semiconductor devices comprised of a semiconductor substrate with a metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor having a channel including germanium or silicon-germanium, where a dielectric layer is coupled to the channel. The dielectric layer may include a metal oxide and at least one additional element, where the at least one additional element may increase a band gap of the dielectric layer. A gate electrode may be coupled to the dielectric layer. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
Abstract:
Embodiments include a resistive random access memory (RRAM) storage cell, having a resistive switching material layer and a semiconductor layer between two electrodes, where the semiconductor layer serves as an OEL. In addition, the RRAM storage cell may be coupled with a transistor to form a RRAM memory cell. The RRAM memory cell may include a semiconductor layer as a channel for the transistor, and also shared with the storage cell as an OEL for the storage cell. A shared electrode may serve as a source electrode of the transistor and an electrode of the storage cell. In some embodiments, a dielectric layer may be shared between the transistor and the storage cell, where the dielectric layer is a resistive switching material layer of the storage cell.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure describe a non-planar gate thin film transistor. An integrated circuit may include a plurality of layers formed on a substrate, and the plurality of layers may include a first one of a source or drain, an inter-layer dielectric (ILD) formed on the first one of the source or drain, and a second one of the source or drain formed on the ILD. A semiconductive layer may be formed on a sidewall of the plurality of layers. A gate dielectric layer formed on the semiconductive layer, and a gate may be in contact with the gate dielectric layer.
Abstract:
Embodiments include a threshold switching selector. The threshold switching selector may include a threshold switching layer and a semiconductor layer between two electrodes. A memory cell may include the threshold switching selector coupled to a storage cell. The storage cell may be a PCRAM storage cell, a MRAM storage cell, or a RRAM storage cell. In addition, a RRAM device may include a RRAM storage cell, coupled to a threshold switching selector, where the threshold switching selector may include a threshold switching layer and a semiconductor layer, and the semiconductor layer of the threshold switching selector may be shared with the semiconductor layer of the RRAM storage cell.
