Abstract:
Methods for producing RRAM resistive switching elements having reduced forming voltage include doping to create oxygen deficiencies in the dielectric film. Oxygen deficiencies in a dielectric film promote formation of conductive pathways.
Abstract:
Embodiments provided herein describe capacitor stacks and methods for forming capacitor stacks. A first electrode is formed above a substrate. A dielectric layer is formed above the first electrode. The dielectric layer includes zirconium. A second electrode is formed above the dielectric layer. At least one of the first electrode and the second electrode includes iridium.
