Abstract:
An embodiment includes an apparatus comprising: a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) including a free magnetic layer, a fixed magnetic layer, and a tunnel barrier layer between the free and fixed layers; the tunnel barrier layer directly contacting a first side of the free layer; and a first side of an oxide layer directly contacting a second side of the free layer; and a first side of an additional layer directly contacting a second side of the oxide layer; wherein the oxide layer includes a metal and the additional layer includes the metal. Other embodiments are described herein.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are devices incorporating micro light emitting diodes with angled or curved geometries, and methods of producing the same. In one implementation, an apparatus comprises a substrate and a micro light emitting diode formed above the substrate. The micro LED comprises an upper surface, a lower surface, and a sidewall. A geometry of the micro LED may be selected from an angled sidewall geometry, a lens-shaped geometry, or a combination thereof.
Abstract:
Methods of manufacturing, and devices including, a light emitting diode (LED). The LED includes a first electrode, a first epitaxial layer located adjacent the first electrode and having a contact surface, a second electrode, and a second epitaxial layer located adjacent the second electrode. A quantum well may be located between the first epitaxial layer and the second epitaxial layer of the LED. The quantum well may include a planar surface located adjacent the contact surface of the first epitaxial layer, and the planar surface may have a larger surface area than the contact surface of the first epitaxial layer
Abstract:
Techniques are disclosed for forming integrated circuit (IC) devices that include ferroelectric field-effect transistors (FE-FETs) having a top gate and a bottom gate (or, generally, a dual-gate configuration). The disclosed FE-FET devices may be formed in the back end of the IC structure and may be implemented with various materials that exhibit ferroelectric properties when processed at temperatures within the thermal budget of the back-end processing. The disclosed back-end FE-FET devices can achieve greater than two resistance states, depending on the direction of poling of the top and bottom gates, thereby enabling the formation of 3-state and 4-state memory devices, for example. Additionally, as will be appreciated in light of this disclosure, the disclosed back-end FE-FET devices can free up floor space in the front-end, thereby providing space for additional devices in the front-end.

Techniques are disclosed for forming integrated circuit (IC) devices that include ferroelectric field-effect transistors (FE-FETs) formed in the back end of the IC structure. The disclosed back-end FE-FET devices may be implemented with various materials that exhibit ferroelectric properties when processed at temperatures within the thermal budget of the back-end, and in some cases, an alloy of doped or undoped transition metal oxides may be used as the ferroelectric material. The disclosed back-end FE-FET devices may be able to provide comparable or improved ferroelectric performance relative to FE-FET devices formed during front-end processing. Additionally, as will be appreciated in light of this disclosure, the disclosed back-end FE-FET devices may also free up floor space in the front-end, thereby providing space for additional devices in the front-end.
