摘要: A method of controlling the forming voltage of a dielectric film in a resistive random access memory (ReRAM) device. The method includes depositing a dielectric film contains intrinsic defects on a substrate, forming a plasma-excited treatment gas containing H2 gas, and exposing the dielectric film to the plasma-excited treatment gas to create additional defects in the dielectric film without substantially changing a physical thickness of the dielectric film, where the additional defects lower the forming voltage needed for generating an electrically conducting filament across the dielectric film. The dielectric film can include a metal oxide film and the plasma-excited treatment gas may be formed using a microwave plasma source.

摘要: A method for converting a dielectric material including a type IV transition metal into a crystalline material that includes forming a predominantly non-crystalline dielectric material including the type IV transition metal on a supporting substrate as a component of an electrical device having a scale of microscale or less; and converting the predominantly non-crystalline dielectric material including the type IV transition metal to a crystalline crystal structure by exposure to energy for durations of less than 100 milliseconds and, in some instances, less than 10 microseconds. The resultant material is fully or partially crystallized and contains a metastable ferroelectric phase such as the polar orthorhombic phase of space group Pca21 or Pmn21. During the conversion to the crystalline crystal structure, adjacently positioned components of the electrical devices are not damaged.

摘要: A method of fabricating a replacement gate stack for a semiconductor device includes the following steps after removal of a dummy gate: growing a high-k dielectric layer over the area vacated by the dummy gate; depositing a thin metal layer over the high-k dielectric layer; depositing a sacrificial layer over the thin metal layer; performing a first rapid thermal anneal; removing the sacrificial layer; and depositing a metal layer of low resistivity metal for gap fill.
