Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for multi-layer capacitors for three-dimensional memory systems are described. Memory cells of a memory system may include capacitors having dielectric material between multiple interfaces (e.g., concentric interfaces) of a bottom electrode and a top electrode. A bottom electrode may include a first portion wrapping around a portion of a semiconductor material that is contiguous with a channel of a transistor, and a top electrode may include a first portion wrapping around the first portion of the bottom electrode. The bottom electrode may also include a second portion wrapping around the first portion of the top electrode, and the top electrode may also include a second portion wrapping around the second portion of the bottom electrode. The dielectric material may include respective portions between each interface of the bottom electrode and top electrode which, in some examples, may be a contiguous implementation of the dielectric material.

Abstract: Systems, methods and apparatus are provided for an array of vertically stacked memory cells having horizontally oriented access devices and storage nodes formed in tiers. And, more particularly, to multiple, alternating silicon germanium (SiGe) and single crystalline silicon (Si) in different thicknesses to form tiers in which to form the horizontal access devices in vertical three-dimensional (3D) memory. The horizontally oriented access devices can have a first source/drain regions and a second source drain regions separated by single crystalline silicon (Si) channel regions. The single crystalline silicon (Si) channel regions can include a dielectric material to provide support structure to the single crystalline channel regions when forming the horizontal access devices in vertical three-dimensional (3D) memory. Horizontally oriented access lines can connect to gate structures opposing the channel regions. Vertical digit lines coupled to the first source/drain regions.

Abstract: Systems, methods and apparatus are provided for an array of vertically stacked memory cells having horizontally oriented access devices and storage nodes formed in tiers. And, more particularly, to multiple, alternating epitaxially grown silicon germanium (SiGe) and single crystalline silicon (Si) in different thicknesses to form tiers in which to form the horizontal access devices in vertical three dimensional (3D) memory. The horizontally oriented access devices can have a first source/drain regions and a second source drain regions separated by epitaxially grown, single crystalline silicon (Si) channel regions. Horizontally oriented access lines can connect to gate all around (GAA) structures opposing the channel regions. Vertical digit lines coupled to the first source/drain regions.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for self-aligned capacitors for three-dimensional memory systems are described. For example, a capacitor of a memory cell may include multiple interfaces (e.g., concentric interfaces, dielectric interfaces, interfaces at different relative radial positions from an axis of the capacitor) between material portions of a first electrode and a second electrode, each across a respective portion of a dielectric material. A separating dielectric feature may be included between the capacitor and a cell selection transistor of the memory cell, which may support self-alignment of features of the capacitor with features of the cell selection transistor (e.g., self-alignment for fabrication operations associated with forming the capacitor).

Abstract: Systems, methods and apparatus are provided for an array of vertically stacked memory cells having horizontally oriented access devices and storage nodes. The horizontally oriented access devices having a first source/drain regions and a second source drain regions separated by silicon (Si) channel regions. A digit line having a global digit line (GDL) contact is formed in a trench adjacent to the first source/drain regions. In one example, the digit line is electrically isolated from a neighboring digit line at the bottom of the trench. In another example, the digit line is formed continuously along a bottom surface of trench to form shared digit lines between horizontal access devices, in two separate arrays, on opposing second vertical surfaces. The memory cells have horizontally oriented storage nodes coupled to the second source/drain regions and vertical digit lines coupled to the first source/drain regions.

The horizontally oriented access devices having a first source/drain regions and a second source drain regions separated by epitaxially grown, single crystalline silicon (Si) channel regions. A support structure is provided to the epitaxially grown, single crystalline Si. Horizontally oriented access lines connect to gates opposing the channel regions formed fully around every surface of the channel region as gate all around (GAA) structures separated from the channel regions by gate dielectrics. The memory cells have horizontally oriented storage nodes coupled to the second source/drain regions and vertical digit lines coupled to the first source/drain regions.
