Patent number: 12646538Abstract: Some embodiments include an integrated assembly having first and second source/drain regions laterally offset from one another. Metal silicide is adjacent to lateral surfaces of the source/drain regions. Metal is adjacent to the metal silicide. Container-shaped first and second capacitor electrodes are coupled to the source/drain regions through the metal silicide and the metal. Capacitor dielectric material lines interior surfaces of the container-shaped first and second capacitor electrodes, A shared capacitor electrode extends vertically between the first and second capacitor electrodes, and extends into the lined first and second capacitor electrodes. Some embodiments include methods of forming integrated assemblies.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 2024Date of Patent: June 2, 2026Assignee: Micron Technology, Inc.Inventors: Che-Chi Lee, Terrence B. McDaniel, Kehao Zhang, Albert P. Chan, Clement Jacob, Luca Fumagalli, Vinay Nair

Patent number: 11690216Abstract: An example apparatus includes a first source/drain region and a second source/drain region formed in a substrate. The first source/drain region and the second source/drain region are separated by the channel. The example apparatus further includes a gate separated from the channel by a dielectric material and an access line formed in a high aspect ratio trench connected to the gate. The access line includes a first titanium nitride (TiN) material formed in the trench, a metal material formed over the first TiN material, and a second TiN material formed over the metal material. The example apparatus further includes a sense line coupled to the first source/drain region and a storage node coupled to the second source/drain region.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2019Date of Patent: June 27, 2023Assignee: Micron Technology, Inc.Inventors: Fatma Arzum Simsek-Ege, Clement Jacob

Patent number: 11515147Abstract: A material deposition system comprises a dopant source containing at least one dopant precursor material, an inert gas source containing at least one noble gas, and a physical vapor deposition apparatus in selective fluid communication with the dopant source and the inert gas source. The physical vapor deposition apparatus comprises a housing structure, a target electrode, and a substrate holder. The housing structure is configured and positioned to receive at least one feed fluid stream comprising the at least one dopant precursor material and the at least one noble gas. The target electrode is within the housing structure and is in electrical communication with a signal generator. The substrate holder is within the housing structure and is spaced apart from the target electrode. A method of forming a microelectronic device, a microelectronic device, a memory device, and an electronic system are also described.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 2019Date of Patent: November 29, 2022Assignee: MICRON TECHNOLOGY, INC.Inventors: Clement Jacob, Richard L.
