  • Publication number: 20230197836
    Abstract: Described herein are integrated circuit devices with conductive regions formed from MX or MAX materials. MAX materials are layered, hexagonal carbides and nitrides that include an early transition metal (M) and an A group element (A). MX materials remove the A group element. MAX and MX materials are highly conductive, and their two-dimensional layer structure allows very thin layers to be formed. MAX or MX materials can be used to form several conductive elements of IC circuits, including contacts, interconnects, or liners or barrier regions for contacts or interconnects.

  • Publication number: 20230200079
    Abstract: A first type of ferroelectric capacitor comprises electrodes and an insulating layer comprising ferroelectric oxides. In some embodiments, the electrodes and the insulating layer comprise perovskite ferroelectric oxides. A second type of ferroelectric capacitor comprises a ferroelectric insulating layer comprising certain monochalcogenides. Both types of ferroelectric capacitors can have a coercive voltage that is less than one volt. Such capacitors are attractive for use in low-voltage non-volatile embedded memories for next-generation semiconductor manufacturing technologies.

  • Publication number: 20230189659
    Abstract: A probabilistic bit (p-bit) comprises a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) comprising a free layer whose magnetization orientation randomly fluctuates in the presence of thermal noise. The p-bit MTJ comprises a reference layer, a free layer, and an insulating layer between the reference and free layers. The reference layer and the free layer comprise synthetic antiferromagnets. The use of a synthetic antiferromagnet for the reference layer reduces the amount of stray magnetic field that can impact the magnetization of the free layer and the use of a synthetic antiferromagnet for the free layer reduces stray magnetic field bias on p-bit random number generation. Tuning the thickness of the nonmagnetic layer of synthetic antiferromagnet free layer can result in faster random number generation time relative to a comparable MTJ with a free layer comprising a single-layer ferromagnet.

  • Patent number: 11646356
    Abstract: Describe is a resonator that uses anti-ferroelectric (AFE) materials in the gate of a transistor as a dielectric. The use of AFE increases the strain/stress generated in the gate of the FinFET. Along with the usual capacitive drive, which is boosted with the increased polarization, additional current drive is also achieved from the piezoelectric response generated to due to AFE material. In some embodiments, the acoustic mode of the resonator is isolated using phononic gratings all around the resonator using the metal line above and vias' to body and dummy fins on the side. As such, a Bragg reflector is formed above or below the AFE based transistor. Increased drive signal from the AFE results in larger output signal and larger bandwidth.

  • Patent number: 11646374
    Abstract: Embodiments herein describe techniques for a semiconductor device including a gate stack with a ferroelectric-oxide layer above a channel layer and in contact with the channel layer, and a top electrode above the ferroelectric-oxide layer. The ferroelectric-oxide layer includes a domain wall between an area under a nucleation point of the top electrode and above a separation line of the channel layer between an ON state portion and an OFF state portion of the channel layer. A resistance between a source electrode and a drain electrode is modulated in a range between a first resistance value and a second resistance value, dependent on a position of the domain wall within the ferroelectric-oxide layer, a position of the ON state portion of the channel layer, and a position of the OFF state portion of the channel layer. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

In an embodiment, a transistor comprises doped source or drain regions and a channel region which are each disposed in a fin structure, wherein a gate electrode and an underlying dielectric layer of the transistor each extend over the channel region. Insulation spacers are disposed on opposite sides of the gate electrode, where at least a portion of one such insulation spacer comprises an (anti)ferroelectric material. Another portion of the insulation spacer comprises a non-(anti)ferroelectric material. In another embodiment, the two portions of the spacer are offset vertically from one another, wherein the (anti)ferroelectric portion forms a bottom of the spacer.

  • Patent number: 11637191
    Abstract: Describe is a resonator that uses ferroelectric (FE) materials in the gate of a transistor as a dielectric. The use of FE increases the strain/stress generated in the gate of the FinFET. Along with the usual capacitive drive, which is boosted with the increased polarization, FE material expands or contacts depending on the applied electric field on the gate of the transistor. As such, acoustic waves are generated by switching polarization of the FE materials. In some embodiments, the acoustic mode of the resonator is isolated using phononic gratings all around the resonator using the metal line above and vias' to body and dummy fins on the side. As such, a Bragg reflector is formed above the FE based transistor.
