Abstract: Computer-implemented processes and systems described herein are directed to reducing volumes of data sent from edge devices to a data center. Each edge device runs an agent that collects event information generated by event sources of the edge device in a runtime interval. Each agent reduces the event information to relevant event information at the edge device in accordance with instructions received from a controller server of the data center. The relevant event information contains less information than the event information. Each agent forwards the relevant event information over the internet to external services executed at the data center, where the relevant event information is stored in a data storage device of the data center.

Abstract: Techniques are provided herein for forming thin film transistor structures having a multilayer and/or concentration gradient gate dielectric. Such a gate dielectric can be used, to tune the performance and/or reliability of the transistor. According to some such embodiments, memory structures having thin film transistor (TFT) structures are arranged in a two-dimensional array within one or more interconnect layers and stacked in a vertical direction such that multiple tiers of memory structure arrays are formed within the interconnect region. Any of the given TFT structures may include a multilayer and/or graded gate dielectric that includes at least two or more different dielectric layers and/or a material concentration gradient through a thickness of the gate dielectric.

Abstract: Techniques are provided herein for forming transistor devices with reduced parasitic capacitance, such as transistors used in a memory structure. In an example, a given memory structure includes memory cells, with a given memory cell having an access device and a storage device. The access device may include, for example, a thin film transistor (TFT), and the storage device may include a capacitor. Any of the given TFTs may include a dielectric liner extending along sidewalls of the TFT. The TFT includes a recess (e.g., a dimple) that extends laterally inwards toward a midpoint of a semiconductor region of the TFT. The dielectric liner thus also pinches or otherwise extends inward. This pinched-in dielectric liner may reduce parasitic capacitance between the contacts of the TFT and the gate electrode of the TFT. The pinched-in dielectric liner may also protect the contacts from forming too deep into the semiconductor region.

Abstract: Techniques are provided herein for forming thin film transistor (TFT) structures having one or more doped contact regions. The addition of certain dopants can be used to increase conductivity and provide higher thermal stability in the contact regions of the TFT. Memory structures having TFT structures are arranged in a two-dimensional array within one or more interconnect layers and stacked in a vertical direction such that multiple tiers of memory structure arrays are formed within the interconnect region. Any of the TFT structures within the memory structures may include one or more contacts that are doped with additional elements. The doping profile of the contacts can be tuned to optimize performance, stability, and reliability of the TFT structure. Furthermore, additional doping may be performed within the area beneath the contacts and extending into the semiconductor region.

Abstract: Techniques are provided herein for forming multi-tier memory structures with graded characteristics across different tiers. A given memory structure includes memory cells, with a given memory cell having an access device and a storage device. The access device may include, for example, a thin film transistor (TFT) structure, and the storage device may include a capacitor. Certain geometric or material parameters of the memory structures can be altered in a graded fashion across any number of tiers to compensate for process effects that occur when fabricating a given tier, which also affect any lower tiers. This may be done to more closely match the performance of the memory arrays across each of the tiers.

In some cases, the semiconductor region includes a plurality of compositionally different material layers, at least two layers of the different material layers each being a semiconductor layer. In some other cases, the semiconductor region includes a single layer having a material concentration gradient extending from a bottom surface of the single layer (adjacent to the gate dielectric) to a top surface of the single layer. The integrated circuit further includes first and second conductive contacts that each contact a respective portion of the semiconductor region.

Abstract: Techniques are provided herein for forming thin film transistor structures having a laterally recessed gate electrode. The gate electrode may be recessed such that it does not extend under one or both conductive contacts of the transistor. Recessing the lateral dimensions of the gate electrode can reduce gate leakage current and parasitic capacitance. According to an example, a given memory structure generally includes memory cells, with each memory cell having an access device and a storage device. According to some such embodiments, the memory cells are arranged in a two-dimensional array within one or more interconnect layers and stacked in a vertical direction such that multiple tiers of memory cell arrays are formed within the interconnect region. Any of the given TFT structures may include a gate electrode that is laterally recessed such that one or more of the contacts are not directly over the gate electrode.

Abstract: Techniques are provided herein for forming thin film transistor structures having co-doped semiconductor regions. The addition of insulating dopants can be used to improve the performance, stability, and reliability of the TFT. A given TFT structure within an array of similar TFT structures formed in an interconnect region may include a semiconductor region that is co-doped with one or more additional elements. The doping profile can be tuned to optimize performance, stability, and reliability of the TFT structure. In some embodiments, the doping profile causes an overall reduction in the conductivity of the semiconductor region, leading to a higher threshold voltage. Designing access devices (in, for example, a DRAM architecture) with higher threshold voltages can be beneficial for improving reliability of the memory cell.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for making asymmetric contacts to improve the performance of thin film transistors (TFT) structures. The asymmetry may be with respect to the area of contact interface with the semiconductor region and/or the depth to which the contacts extend into the semiconductor region. According to some embodiments, the TFT structures are used in memory structures arranged in a two-dimensional array within one or more interconnect layers and stacked in a vertical direction such that multiple tiers of memory structure arrays are formed within the interconnect region. Any of the given TFT structures may include asymmetric contacts, such as two contacts that each have a different contact area to a semiconductor region, and/or that extend to different depths within the semiconductor region. The degree of asymmetry may be tuned during fabrication to modulate certain transistor parameters such as, for example, leakage, capacitance, gate control, channel length, or contact resistance.
