摘要: A memory device includes an alternating stack of insulating layers, dielectric barrier liners and electrically conductive layers located over a substrate and a memory stack structure extending through each layer in the alternating stack. Each of the dielectric barrier liners is located between vertically neighboring pairs of an insulating layer and an electrically conductive layer within the alternating stack. The memory stack structure includes a memory film and a vertical semiconductor channel, the memory film includes a tunneling dielectric layer and a vertical stack of discrete memory-level structures that are vertically spaced from each other without direct contact between them, and each of the discrete memory-level structures includes a lateral stack including, from one side to another, a charge storage material portion, a silicon oxide blocking dielectric portion, and a dielectric metal oxide blocking dielectric portion.

摘要: A structure, such as a semiconductor device, includes metal line structures located over a substrate and laterally spaced apart from each other. Each of the metal line structures includes planar metallic liner including a first metal element and a metal line body portion includes a second metal element that is different from the first metal element. Metal-organic framework (MOF) material portions are located between neighboring pairs of the metal line structures and contain metal ions or clusters of the first metal element and organic ligands connected to the metal ions or clusters of the first metal element. Air gaps may be formed in the MOF material portions to further reduce the effective dielectric constant.

摘要: Techniques are presented for the application of neural networks to the fabrication of integrated circuits and electronic devices, where example are given for the fabrication of non-volatile memory circuits and the mounting of circuit components on the printed circuit board of a solid state drive (SSD). The techniques include the generation of high precision masks suitable for analyzing electron microscope images of feature of integrated circuits and of handling the training of the neural network when the available training data set is sparse through use of a generative adversary network (GAN).

摘要: A first semiconductor die includes first semiconductor devices located over a first substrate, first interconnect-level dielectric material layers embedding first metal interconnect structures and located on the first semiconductor devices, and a first pad-level dielectric layer located on the first interconnect-level dielectric material layers and embedding first bonding pads. Each of the first bonding pads includes a first proximal horizontal surface and at least one first distal horizontal surface that is more distal from the first substrate than the first proximal horizontal surface is from the first substrate and has a lesser total area than a total area of the first proximal horizontal surface. A second semiconductor die including second bonding pads that are embedded in a second pad-level dielectric layer can be bonded to a respective distal surface of the first bonding pads.
