  • Patent number: 11758741
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for dimension control for raised lines are described. For example, the techniques described herein may be used to fabricate raised lines (e.g., orthogonal raised lines). The lines may be fabricated such that an overall area of each line is consistent. In some examples, the techniques may be applied to form memory cells across multiple memory tiles, multiple memory arrays, and/or multiple wafers such that each memory cell comprises a consistent overall area. To form the lines and/or memory cells, a material associated with a desired properties may be deposited after performing a first cut. Due to the properties associated with the material, a width of the second cut may be affected, thus resulting in more uniform lines and/memory cells.

  • Patent number: 11757037
    Abstract: Epitaxial oxide plugs are described for imposing strain on a channel region of a proximate channel region of a transistor. The oxide plugs form epitaxial and coherent contact with one or more source and drain regions adjacent to the strained channel region. The epitaxial oxide plugs can be used to either impart strain to an otherwise unstrained channel region (e.g., for a semiconductor body that is unstrained relative to an underlying buffer layer), or to restore, maintain, or increase strain within a channel region of a previously strained semiconductor body. The epitaxial crystalline oxide plugs have a perovskite crystal structure in some embodiments.
