    Abstract: Embodiments provided herein describe systems and methods for forming ferroelectric materials. A trench body may be provided. A trench may be formed in the trench body. A dielectric material and a filler material may be deposited within the trench. The filler material may be heated such that a stress is exerted on the dielectric material before the dielectric material is heated to generate a ferroelectric phase within the dielectric material. A non-contiguous layer may be formed above a substrate. A second layer including a high-k dielectric material may be formed above the first layer. The high-k dielectric material may be heated to generate a ferroelectric phase within the high-k dielectric material.

    Abstract: Provided are capacitor stacks for use in integrated circuits and methods of fabricating these stacks. A capacitor stack includes a dielectric layer and one or two inner electrode layers, such as a positive inner electrode layer and a negative inner electrode layer. The inner electrode layers directly interface the dielectric layer. The stack may also include outer electrode layers. The inner electrode layers are either chemically stable or weakly chemically unstable, while in contact with the dielectric layer based on the respective phase diagrams. Furthermore, the electron affinity of the positive inner electrode layer may be less than the electron affinity of the dielectric layer. The sum of the electron affinity and bandgap of the negative inner electrode layer may be less than that of the dielectric layer. In some embodiments, inner electrode layers are formed from heavily doped semiconducting materials, such as gallium arsenide or gallium aluminum arsenide.

    Abstract: Conducting materials having narrow impurity conduction bands can reduce the number of high energy excitations, and can be prepared by a sequence of plasma treatments. For example, a dielectric layer can be exposed to a first plasma ambient to form vacancy sites, and the vacancy-formed dielectric layer can be subsequently exposed to a second plasma ambient to fill the vacancy sites with substitutional impurities.

    Abstract: Molybdenum oxide can be used to form switching elements in a resistive memory device. The atomic ratio of oxygen to molybdenum can be between 2 and 3. The molybdenum oxide exists in various Magneli phases, such as Mo13O33, Mo4O11, Mo17O47, Mo8O23, or Mo9O26. An electric field can be established across the switching layers, for example, by applying a set or reset voltage. The electric field can cause movement of the oxygen charges, e.g., O2− ions, changing the composition profile of the switching layers, forming bistable states, including a high resistance state with MoO3 and a low resistance state with MoOx (x

    Abstract: Methods for forming an electronic device having a fluorine-stabilized semiconductor substrate surface are disclosed. In an exemplary embodiment, a layer of a high-κ dielectric material is formed together with a layer containing fluorine on a semiconductor substrate. Subsequent annealing causes the fluorine to migrate to the surface of the semiconductor (for example, silicon, germanium, or silicon-germanium). A thin interlayer of a semiconductor oxide may also be present at the semiconductor surface. The fluorine-containing layer can comprise F-containing WSix formed by ALD from WF6 and SiH4 precursor gases. A precise amount of F can be provided, sufficient to bind to substantially all of the dangling semiconductor atoms at the surface of the semiconductor substrate and sufficient to displace substantially all of the hydrogen atoms present at the surface of the semiconductor substrate.
