Abstract: In some embodiments, the present disclosure relates to an integrated chip. The integrated chip includes a memory device disposed within an inter-level dielectric (ILD) structure over a substrate. The memory device has a data storage structure between a first electrode and a second electrode. A first unidirectional current controller and a second unidirectional current controller are disposed within the ILD structure. A conductor arranged between the first unidirectional current controller and the data storage structure along a first conductive path and further arranged between the second unidirectional current controller and the data storage structure along a second conductive path. A part of the first conductive path overlaps a part, but not all, of the second conductive path.

Abstract: Thermal stability of a transistor is improved in different ways. An interfacial layer between a source/drain electrode and a semiconductor layer is formed from a material having a higher bond dissociation energy than indium oxide. Alternatively, the interfacial layer is formed from a metal-doped oxide semiconductor material. As another option, a metal layer or a metal oxide layer is formed between the source/drain electrode and the interfacial layer.

Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards a method of forming a ferroelectric memory device. In the method, a pair of source/drain regions is formed in a substrate. A gate dielectric and a gate electrode are formed over the substrate and between the pair of source/drain regions. A polarization switching structure is formed directly on a top surface of the gate electrode. By arranging the polarization switching structure directly on the gate electrode, smaller pad size can be realized, and more flexible area ratio tuning can be achieved compared to arranging the polarization switching structure under the gate electrode with the aligned sidewall and same lateral dimensions. In addition, since the process of forming gate electrode can endure higher annealing temperatures, such that quality of the ferroelectric structure is better controlled.
