Abstract: A variety of applications can include an apparatus having an electronic device including a number of transistors in a pair-wise arrangement that can address a floating body effect associated with the type of transistor implemented in the pair-wise arrangement. The transistors can be structured as thin film transistors having one-gate separated by a gate dielectric from a vertical channel structure. The pair-wise arrangement can include a conductive shield between a channel structure of a transistor of the pair and a channel structure of the other transistor of the other pair. A conductive body can be located below the conductive shield and shorted to the conductive shield, where the conductive body contacts the channel structures of the transistors of the pair-wise arrangement. The conductive shield can be coupled to node to be set at a constant voltage in operation.

One of the embodiments includes a capacitor, a transistor coupled to the capacitor, the transistor and the capacitor included in a memory cell; the transistor including a channel structure, a gate including a portion located on a side of the channel structure, and a dielectric structure between the channel structure and the gate; and on-die circuitry configured to selectively apply a stress condition to the transistor to tune a threshold voltage of the transistor.

Abstract: Methods for forming microelectronic devices include forming a titanium nitride (TiN) material over a precursor structure. Forming the TiN material comprises repeating cycles of flowing a titanium-including gas adjacent the precursor structure; flowing a reducing gas over the precursor structure; flowing a nitrogen-including gas over the precursor structure; and, before and after flowing the nitrogen-including gas, purging gas.
