    摘要: Structures for a resistive random-access memory element and methods of forming a structure for a resistive random-access memory element. The structure comprises an interlayer dielectric layer including a first trench having a sidewall and a second trench having a sidewall adjacent to the sidewall of the first trench. The structure further comprises a first layer on the sidewall of the first trench, a second layer inside the second trench, and a third layer on the sidewall of the second trench. The first layer comprises a first metal, the second layer comprises a second metal, and the third layer comprises a dielectric material. The third layer includes a portion positioned between the first layer and the second layer.

    摘要: A capacitor structure for an integrated circuit (IC) and a related method of forming are disclosed. The capacitor structure includes three electrodes. A planar bottom electrode has a first insulator layer thereover. A middle electrode includes a conductive layer over the first insulator layer and a plurality of spaced conductive pillars contacting the conductive layer. A second insulator layer extends over and between the plurality of spaced conductive pillars and contacts the conductive layer. An upper electrode extends over the second insulator layer, and hence, over and between the plurality of spaced conductive pillars. A length of the upper electrode can be controlled, in part, by the number and dimensions of the conductive pillars to increase capacitance capabilities per area.

    摘要: Structures for an electrostatic discharge protection device and methods of forming same. The structure comprises a semiconductor substrate including first and second trench isolation regions positioned in the semiconductor substrate. The first trench isolation region extends to a first depth in the semiconductor substrate, and the second trench isolation region extends to a second depth in the semiconductor substrate. The second depth is greater than the first depth. A bipolar junction transistor structure includes a collector, an emitter, and a base each disposed in the semiconductor substrate. The collector includes a portion that extends to the top surface of the semiconductor substrate, the first trench isolation region is positioned in the base, the second trench isolation region is positioned in a lateral direction between the portion of the collector and the base, and the second trench isolation region surrounds the base, the emitter, and the first trench isolation region.
