Abstract: An apparatus comprising one or more capacitors that comprise a bottom electrode, a high-k dielectric material, and a top electrode. The bottom electrode comprises an oxygen-doped titanium nitride material and one or more undoped titanium nitride materials. The oxygen-doped titanium nitride material is on sidewalls of the one or more undoped titanium nitride materials and the one or more undoped titanium nitride materials extending between sidewalls of the oxygen-doped titanium nitride material. Electronic devices and methods of forming an electronic device are also disclosed.

Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and systems related to forming a barrier material between an electrode and a dielectric material are described. An example method includes forming a dielectric material on a bottom electrode material of a storage node in a semiconductor fabrication process. The method further includes forming a barrier material on the dielectric material to reduce oxygen vacancies in the dielectric material. The method further includes forming a top electrode on the barrier material.

IPC: H01L27/108
Abstract: A method of forming an apparatus comprises forming a first metal nitride material over an upper surface of a conductive material within an opening extending through at least one dielectric material through a non-conformal deposition process. A second metal nitride material is formed over an upper surface of the first metal nitride material and side surfaces of the at least one dielectric material partially defining boundaries of the opening through a conformal deposition process. A conductive structure is formed over surfaces of the second metal nitride material within the opening. Apparatuses and electronic systems are also described.

Abstract: Some embodiments include an assembly which has channel material pillars, and which has memory cells along the channel material pillars. A conductive structure is under the channel material pillars. The conductive structure has doped semiconductor material in direct contact with bottom regions of the channel material pillars. One or more of magnesium, scandium, yttrium and lanthanide elements is along the bottom regions of the channel material pillars. Some embodiments include methods of forming assemblies. A structure is formed, and a mass is formed against an upper surface of the structure. Plugs are formed within openings in the mass. The plugs comprise a second material over a first material. The first material includes one or more of magnesium, scandium, yttrium and lanthanide elements. Openings are formed to terminate on the first material, and are then extended through the first material. Channel material pillars are formed within the openings.

Abstract: An integrated assembly includes an insulative mass with a first region adjacent to a second region. The first region has a greater amount of one or more inert interstitial elements incorporated therein than does the second region. Some embodiments include an integrated assembly which has vertically-extending channel material pillars, and which has memory cells along the channel material pillars. A conductive structure is under the channel material pillars. The conductive structure includes doped semiconductor material in direct contact with bottom regions of the channel material pillars. An insulative mass is along the bottom regions of the channel material pillars. The insulative mass has an upper region over a lower region. The lower region has a greater amount of one or more inert interstitial elements incorporated therein than does the upper region. Some embodiments include methods of forming integrated assemblies.
