摘要: Integrated chips and methods of forming the same include forming a stack of layers, including a device stack above a first sacrificial layer, above a substrate. The first sacrificial layer is replaced with a first etch stop layer. The substrate is removed, exposing a substrate-side of the stack of layers. The substrate-side of the stack of layers is etched to form a trench, stopping on the first etch stop layer. A conductive line is formed in the trench.

摘要: A method includes forming a p-type field effect transistor region and an n-type field effect transistor region into a semiconductor substrate. The method implements a process flow to fabricate highly doped top source/drains with minimal lithography and etching processes. The method permits the formation of VFETs with increased functionality and reduced scaling.

摘要: An approach for minimizing stack height and reducing resistance of an MRAM (Magnetoresistive random-access memory) is disclosed. The approach leverages an MRAM device with a T shape magnetic bottom electrode. The T shape magnetic bottom electrode u can be made a lower resistance metal such as cobalt. Furthermore, the method of creating the MRAM can include, depositing a low-k dielectric layer, forming bottom electrode via within the low-k dielectric layer, depositing bottom electrode metal liner on the bottom electrode via, depositing bottom electrode magnetic metal on the bottom electrode metal liner, planarizing the bottom electrode magnetic metal, depositing coupling layer and an MRAM stack on the bottom electrode magnetic metal, patterning and etching anisotropically the MRAM stack and depositing in-situ conformal dielectric layer and forming a top contact via on the MRAM stack.

摘要: A forksheet transistor device includes a dual dielectric pillar that includes a first dielectric and a second dielectric that is different from the first dielectric. The dual dielectric pillar physically separates pFET elements from nFET elements. For example, the first dielectric physically separates a pFET gate from a nFET gate while the second dielectric physically separates a pFET source/drain region from a nFET source drain region. When it is advantageous to electrically connect the pFET gate and the nFET gate, the first dielectric may be etched selective to the second dielectric to form a gate connector trench within the dual dielectric pillar. Subsequently, an electrically conductive gate connector strap may be formed within the gate connector trench to electrically connect the pFET gate and the nFET gate.
