    摘要: Various embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards an integrated circuit (IC) chip comprising a memory cell with a sidewall spacer, and/or an etch stop layer, doped to reduce charge accumulation at an interface between the sidewall spacer and the etch stop layer. The memory cell comprises a bottom electrode, a data storage element overlying the bottom electrode, and a top electrode overlying the data storage element. The sidewall spacer overlies the bottom electrode on a common sidewall formed by the data storage element and the top electrode, and the etch stop layer lines the sidewall spacer. The sidewall spacer and the etch stop layer directly contact at the interface and form an electric dipole at the interface. The doping to reduce charge accumulation reduces an electric field produced by the electric dipole, thereby reducing the effect of the electric field on the memory cell.

    摘要: In some embodiments, the present disclosure relates to an integrated chip that includes one or more interconnect dielectric layers arranged over a substrate. A bottom electrode is disposed over a conductive structure and extends through the one or more interconnect dielectric layers. A top electrode is disposed over the bottom electrode. A ferroelectric layer is disposed between and contacts the bottom electrode and the top electrode. The ferroelectric layer includes a first lower horizontal portion, a first upper horizontal portion arranged above the first lower horizontal portion, and a first sidewall portion coupling the first lower horizontal portion to the first upper horizontal portion.

    摘要: Various embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards a memory device. The memory device has a first transistor having a first source/drain and a second source/drain, where the first source/drain and the second source/drain are disposed in a semiconductor substrate. A dielectric structure is disposed over the semiconductor substrate. A first memory cell is disposed in the dielectric structure and over the semiconductor substrate, where the first memory cell has a first electrode and a second electrode, where the first electrode of the first memory cell is electrically coupled to the first source/drain of the first transistor. A second memory cell is disposed in the dielectric structure and over the semiconductor substrate, where the second memory cell has a first electrode and a second electrode, where the first electrode of the second memory cell is electrically coupled to the second source/drain of the first transistor.
