Patent number: 12125893Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: April 3, 2023Date of Patent: October 22, 2024Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Tanay Gosavi, Chia-Ching Lin, Raseong Kim, Ashish Verma Penumatcha, Uygar Avci, Ian Young

Patent number: 12113117Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: April 3, 2023Date of Patent: October 8, 2024Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Tanay Gosavi, Chia-ching Lin, Raseong Kim, Ashish Verma Penumatcha, Uygar Avci, Ian Young

Patent number: 12040378Abstract: Described is a ferroelectric-based capacitor that improves reliability of a ferroelectric memory by providing tensile stress along a plane (e.g., x-axis) of a ferroelectric or anti-ferroelectric material of the ferroelectric/anti-ferroelectric based capacitor. Tensile stress is provided by a spacer comprising metal, semimetal, or oxide (e.g., metal or oxide of one or more of: Al, Ti, Hf, Si, Ir, or N). The tensile stress provides polar orthorhombic phase to the ferroelectric material and tetragonal phase to the anti-ferroelectric material. As such, memory window and reliability of the ferroelectric/anti-ferroelectric oxide thin film improves.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 2021Date of Patent: July 16, 2024Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Nazila Haratipour, Sou-Chi Chang, Chia-Ching Lin, Jack Kavalieros, Uygar Avci, Ian Young

Patent number: 12020144Abstract: A neural network scheme is described that uses unsupervised learning in oscillator neural networks. Training occurs by varying the weights in proportion to the output from a frequency detector. Inputs and initial weights are split into plurality of inputs and plurality of weights. These split inputs and weights can be analog or digital. Oscillators generate signals having frequencies that represent difference in inputs, initial weights, and adjusted factors. Frequency detectors are used to compare the oscillator frequencies with a synchronized frequency of all oscillators. The output of the frequency detectors are used to generate the adjusted factors, and in turn generate trained weights.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2019Date of Patent: June 25, 2024Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Dmitri Nikonov, Ian Young

Patent number: 11862715Abstract: Tunneling Field Effect Transistors (TFETs) are promising devices in that they promise significant performance increase and energy consumption decrease due to a steeper subthreshold slope (for example, smaller sub-threshold swing). In various embodiments, vertical fin-based TFETs can be fabricated in trenches, for example, silicon trenches. In another embodiment, vertical TFETs can be used on different material systems acting as a substrate and/or trenches (for example, Si, Ge, III-V semiconductors, GaN, and the like). In one embodiment, the tunneling direction in the channel of the vertical TFET can be perpendicular to the Si substrates. In one embodiment, this can be different than the tunneling direction in the channel of lateral TFETs.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2022Date of Patent: January 2, 2024Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Cheng-Ying Huang, Jack Kavalieros, Ian Young, Matthew Metz, Willy Rachmady, Uygar Avci, Ashish Agrawal, Benjamin Chu-Kung
