    摘要: In some embodiments, the present disclosure relates to a method of forming an integrated chip. The method includes forming a lower electrode layer over a substrate, and an un-patterned amorphous initiation layer over the lower electrode layer. An intermediate ferroelectric material layer is formed have a substantially uniform amorphous phase on the un-patterned amorphous initiation layer. An anneal process is performed to change the intermediate ferroelectric material layer to a ferroelectric material layer having a substantially uniform orthorhombic crystalline phase. An upper electrode layer is formed over the ferroelectric material layer. One or more patterning processes are performed on the upper electrode layer, the ferroelectric material layer, the un-patterned amorphous initiation layer, and the lower electrode layer to form a ferroelectric memory device. An upper ILD layer is formed over the ferroelectric memory device, and an upper interconnect is formed to contact the ferroelectric memory device.

    摘要: The present disclosure relates to a method of forming a resistive random access memory (RRAM) device. In some embodiments, the method may be performed by forming a first electrode structure over a substrate. A doped data storage element is formed over the first electrode structure. The doped data storage element is formed by forming a first data storage layer over the first electrode structure and forming a second data storage layer over the first data storage layer. The first data storage layer is formed to have a first doping concentration of a dopant and the second data storage layer is formed to have a second doping concentration of the dopant that is less than the first doping concentration. A second electrode structure is formed over the doped data storage element.
