Abstract: A complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) transistor includes a first transistor with a first gate dielectric layer above a first channel, where the first gate dielectric layer includes Hf1-xZxO2, where 0.33<x<0.5. The first transistor further includes a first gate electrode on the first gate dielectric layer and a first source region and a first drain region on opposite sides of the first gate electrode. The CMOS transistor further includes a second transistor adjacent to the first transistor. The second transistor includes a second gate dielectric layer above a second channel, where the second gate dielectric layer includes Hf1-xZxO2, where 0.5<x<0.99, a second gate electrode on the second gate dielectric layer and a second source region and a second drain region on opposite sides of the second gate electrode.

Abstract: Integrated circuitry comprising a ribbon or wire (RoW) transistor stack within which the transistors have different threshold voltages (Vt). In some examples, a gate electrode of the transistor stack may include only one workfunction metal. A metal oxide may be deposited around one or more channels of the transistor stack as a solid-state source of a metal oxide species that will diffuse toward the channel region(s). As diffused, the metal oxide may remain (e.g., as a silicate, or hafnate) in close proximity to the channel region, thereby altering the dipole properties of the gate insulator material. Different channels of a transistor stack may be exposed to differing amounts or types of the metal oxide species to provide a range of Vt within the stack. After diffusion, the metal oxide may be stripped as sacrificial, or retained.

Abstract: Thin film transistors fabricated using a spacer as a fin are described. In an example, a method of forming a fin transistor structure includes patterning a plurality of backbone pillars on a semiconductor substrate. The method may then include conformally depositing a spacer layer over the plurality of backbone pillars and the semiconductor substrate. A spacer etch of the spacer layer is then performed to leave a sidewall of the spacer layer on a backbone pillar to form a fin of the fin transistor structure.

Abstract: An integrated circuit capacitor structure, includes a first electrode includes a cylindrical column, a ferroelectric layer around an exterior sidewall of the cylindrical column and a plurality of outer electrodes. The plurality of outer electrodes include a first outer electrode laterally adjacent to a first portion of an exterior of the ferroelectric layer and a second outer electrode laterally adjacent to a second portion of the exterior of the ferroelectric layer, wherein the second outer electrode is above the first outer electrode.
