摘要: A vertical resistive memory array is presented. The array includes a pillar electrode and a switching liner around the side perimeter of the pillar electrode. The array includes two or more vertically stacked single cell (SC) electrodes connected to a first side of the switching liner. The juxtaposition of the switching liner, the pillar electrode, and each SC electrode forms respective resistance switching cells (e.g., OxRRAM cell). A vertical group or bank of these cells may be connected in parallel and each share the same pillar electrode. The cells in the vertical cell bank may written to or read from as a group to limit the effects of inconsistent CF formation of any one or more individual cells within the group.

摘要: A semiconductor structure may include a resistive random access memory device embedded between an upper metal interconnect and a lower metal interconnect in a backend structure of a chip. The resistive random access memory may include a first electrode and a second electrode separated by a dielectric film. A portion of the dielectric film directly above the first electrode may be crystalline. The semiconductor structure may include a stud below and in electrical contact with the first electrode and the lower metal interconnect and a dielectric layer between the upper metal interconnect and the lower metal interconnect. The dielectric layer may separate the upper metal interconnect from the lower metal interconnect. The crystalline portion of the dielectric film may include grain boundaries that extend through an entire thickness of the dielectric film. The crystalline portion of the dielectric film may include grains.

摘要: A resistance switching RAM logic device is presented. The device includes a pair of resistance switching RAM cells that may be independently programed into at least a low resistance state (LRS) or a high resistance state (HRS). The resistance switching RAM logic device may further include a shared output node electrically connected to the pair of resistance switching RAM cells. A logical output may be determined from the programmed resistance state of each of the resistance switching RAM cells.

摘要: A semiconductor structure is provided utilizing a cost effective method in which the vertical gate channel length is substantially the same for vertical field effect transistors (VFETs) that are present in a dense device region and an isolated device region. The VFETs have improved uniformity, device functionality and better yield. No additional lithographic process is used in making such a semiconductor structure.

摘要: A semiconductor structure and a method for fabricating the same. The semiconductor structure includes a substrate and a first source/drain layer in contact with at least the substrate. A vertical channel including indium gallium arsenide or germanium contacts at least the first/source drain layer. A gate structure contacts at least the vertical channel. A second source/drain layer contacts at least inner sidewalls of the vertical channel. The method includes epitaxially growing one or more fin structures comprising gallium arsenide in contact with a portion of a substrate. A separate channel layer comprising indium gallium arsenide or germanium is formed in contact with a respective one of the one or more fin structures.

摘要: A vertical transport field effect transistor (VTFET) is provided that includes a vertical semiconductor channel material structure (i.e., fin or pillar) having a V-shaped groove located in the topmost surface thereof. A top source/drain structure is formed in contact with the V-shaped groove present in the topmost surface of the vertical semiconductor channel material structure. No drive-in anneal is needed to form the top source/drain structure. The presence of the V-shaped groove at the top junction region provides a VTFET that has improved device performance.

摘要: Techniques for source/drain isolation in nanosheet devices are provided. In one aspect, a method of forming a nanosheet device includes: forming an alternating series of sacrificial/active channel nanosheets as a stack on a substrate; forming gates on the stack; forming spacers alongside opposite sidewalls of the gates; patterning the stack, in between the spacers, into individual PFET/NFET stacks and pockets in the substrate; laterally recessing the sacrificial nanosheets in the PFET/NFET stacks to expose tips of the active channel nanosheets in the PFET/NFET stacks; forming inner spacers alongside the PFET/NFET stacks covering the tips of the active channel nanosheets; forming a protective layer lining the pockets; and selectively etching back the inner spacers to expose tips of the active channel nanosheets and epitaxially growing source and drains from the exposed tips of the active channel nanosheets sequentially in the PFET/NFET stacks. A nanosheet device is also provided.
