Abstract: Integrated circuitry comprises a horizontally-elongated insulative wall directly above a conductive node. The wall comprises insulative material. A conductive via extends through the wall to the conductive node. A conductive line is directly above the wall and directly above the conductive via.

Abstract: An approach providing a semiconductor structure that provides a self-leveling, flowable, dielectric material for a gap fill material between vertical structures in many emerging non-volatile memory devices that are being formed with vertical structures for increasing memory device density. The semiconductor structure provides a flat dielectric surface between a plurality of contacts in a back end of the line metal layer in both the memory region and in the logic region of the semiconductor structure. The semiconductor structure includes a first portion of the plurality of contacts that each connect to a pillar-based memory device in an array of pillar-based memory devices. The first portion of the contacts that each connect to a pillar-based memory device in the array of memory devices reside in a conventional interlayer dielectric material under the self-leveling dielectric material. The flowable, self-leveling material provides a flat dielectric surface during contact formation.

Abstract: An electrochemical neuromorphic organic device (ENODe) memristor has improved performance and lower power requirements through the use of highly conductive polymers, including ionomer, such as sulfonated tetrafluoroethylene based fluoropolymer-copolymer. These ionomers may be more conductive and may have a low equivalent weight. The ionomer may be reinforced with a support material, such as a thin porous polymer. The thickness of the layer may be reduced to no more than about 50 microns and in some cases no more than 5 microns. Other ionomer polymers include highly functionalized styrene-butadiene copolymers and biphynl based ionomers.
