    摘要: A method for obtaining an optimized process solution from a set of design of experiments in a cost effective manner is provided. An actual experiment is performed and data from the experiments is obtained. Through statistical analysis of the data, coefficients are obtained. These coefficients are input into an experiment simulator where input parameters and conditions are combined with the coefficients to predict an output for the input parameters and conditions. From simulated results, conclusions can be drawn as to sets of input parameters and conditions providing desired results. Thereafter, physical experiments utilizing the input parameters and conditions may be performed to verify the simulated results.

    摘要: Nonvolatile memory elements are provided that have resistive switching metal oxides. The nonvolatile memory elements may be formed by depositing a metal-containing material on a silicon-containing material. The metal-containing material may be oxidized to form a resistive-switching metal oxide. The silicon in the silicon-containing material reacts with the metal in the metal-containing material when heat is applied. This forms a metal silicide lower electrode for the nonvolatile memory element. An upper electrode may be deposited on top of the metal oxide. Because the silicon in the silicon-containing layer reacts with some of the metal in the metal-containing layer, the resistive-switching metal oxide that is formed is metal deficient when compared to a stoichiometric metal oxide formed from the same metal.

    摘要: Dual shadow mask design can overcome the size and resolution limitations of shadow masks to provide capacitor structures with small effective areas. The capacitor structures have bottom and top electrode layers patterned using shadow masks, sandwiching a dielectric layer. The effective areas of the capacitors are the overlapping areas of the top and bottom electrodes, thus allowing small area sizes without subjected to the size limitation of the electrodes. The dual shadow mask design can be used in conjunction with high productivity combinatorial processes for screening and optimizing dielectric materials and fabrication processes.
