  • Patent number: 11765909
    Abstract: A process integration and patterning flow used to pattern a memory array area for an embedded memory without perturbing a fabricating process for logic circuitries. The fabrication process uses a pocket mask (e.g., a hard mask) to decouple the etching process of a memory array area and non-memory area. Such decoupling allows for a simpler fabrication process with little to no impact on the current fabrication process. The fabrication process may use multiple pocket masks to decouple the etching process of the memory array area and the non-memory area. This fabrication process (using multiple pocket masks) allows to avoid exposure of memory material into a second pocket etch chamber. The process of etching memory material is decoupled from the process of etching an encapsulation material. Examples of embedded memory include dynamic random-access memory and ferroelectric random-access memory.

  • Publication number: 20230284456
    Abstract: A configuration for efficiently placing a group of capacitors with one terminal connected to a common node is described. The capacitors are stacked and folded along the common node. In a stack and fold configuration, devices are stacked vertically (directly or with a horizontal offset) with one terminal of the devices being shared to a common node, and further the capacitors are placed along both sides of the common node. The common node is a point of fold. In one example, the devices are capacitors. N number of capacitors can be divided in L number of stack layers such that there are N/L capacitors in each stacked layer. The N/L capacitors are shorted together with an electrode (e.g., bottom electrode). The electrode can be metal, a conducting oxide, or a combination of a conducting oxide and a barrier material. The capacitors can be planar, non-planar or replaced by memory elements.
