    摘要: An integrated circuit including vertically oriented diode structures between conductors and methods of fabricating the same are provided. Two-terminal devices such as passive element memory cells can include a diode steering element in series with an antifuse and/or other state change element. The devices are formed using pillar structures at the intersections of upper and lower sets of conductors. The height of the pillar structures are reduced by forming part of the diode for each pillar in a rail stack with one of the conductors. A diode in one embodiment can include a first diode component of a first conductivity type and a second diode component of a second conductivity type. A portion of one of the diode components is divided into first and second portions with one on the portions being formed in the rail stack where it is shared with other diodes formed using pillars at the rail stack.

    摘要: A method is provided to form densely spaced metal lines. A first set of metal lines is formed by etching a first metal layer. A thin dielectric layer is conformally deposited on the first metal lines. A second metal is deposited on the thin dielectric layer, filling gaps between the first metal lines. The second metal layer is planarized to form second metal lines interposed between the first metal lines, coexposing the thin dielectric layer and the second metal layer at a substantially planar surface. In some embodiments, planarization continues to remove the thin dielectric covering tops of the first metal lines, coexposing the first metal lines and the second metal lines, separated by the thin dielectric layer, at a substantially planar surface.

    摘要: The present invention provides apparatus, methods, and systems for a memory layer layout for a three-dimensional memory. The memory layer includes a plurality of memory array blocks; a plurality of memory lines coupled to the memory array blocks; and a plurality of zia contact areas for coupling the memory layer to other memory layers in a three-dimensional memory. The memory lines extend from the memory array blocks and are formed using a sidewall defined process. The memory lines have a half pitch dimension smaller than the nominal minimum feature size capability of a lithography tool used in forming the memory lines. The zia contact areas have a dimension that is approximately four times the half pitch dimension of the memory lines. The memory lines are arranged in a pattern adapted to allow a single memory line to intersect a single zia contact area and to provide area between other memory lines for other zia contact areas. Numerous additional aspects are disclosed.

    摘要: A method of fabricating an electronic device includes providing a silicon carbide or diamond-like carbon donor body and implanting ions into a first surface of the donor body to define a cleave plane. After implanting, an epitaxial layer is formed on the first surface, and a temporary carrier is coupled to the epitaxial layer. A lamina is cleaved from the donor body at the cleave plane, and the temporary carrier is removed from the lamina. In some embodiments a light emitting diode or a high electron mobility transistor is fabricated from the lamina and epitaxial layer.
