  • Publication number: 20240136192
    Abstract: Provided herein are low resistance metallization stack structures for 3D-NAND applications and related methods of fabrication. In some embodiments, thin metal oxynitride nucleation layers are deposited on dielectric material followed by deposition of a pure metal conductor using process conditions that increase non-molybdenum component element content at the oxynitride-dielectric interface. Certain embodiments of the methods described below convert less than all of the metal oxynitride nucleation layer to a pure metal layer, further lowering the resistivity.

  • Publication number: 20240126063
    Abstract: A fluorescence microscopy inspection system includes light sources able to emit light that causes a specimen to fluoresce and light that does not cause a specimen to fluoresce. The emitted light is directed through one or more filters and objective channels towards a specimen. A ring of lights projects light at the specimen at an oblique angle through a darkfield channel. One of the filters may modify the light to match a predetermined bandgap energy associated with the specimen and another filter may filter wavelengths of light reflected from the specimen and to a camera. The camera may produce an image from the received light and specimen classification and feature analysis may be performed on the image.

  • Publication number: 20240120415
    Abstract: Technologies for a field effect transistor (FET) with a ferroelectric gate dielectric are disclosed. In an illustrative embodiment, a perovskite stack is grown on a buffer layer as part of manufacturing a transistor. The perovskite stack includes one or more doped semiconductor layers alternating with other lattice-matched layers. Growing the doped semiconductor layers on lattice-matched layers can improve the quality of the doped semiconductor layers. The lattice-matched layers can be etched away, leaving the doped semiconductor layers as fins for a ribbon FET. A ferroelectric layer can be conformally grown on the fins, creating a high-quality ferroelectric layer above and below the fins. A gate can then be grown on the ferroelectric layer.

  • Patent number: 11953863
    Abstract: A training set that includes at least two data types corresponding to operations and control of a manufacturing process is obtained. A deep learning processor is trained to predict expected characteristics of output control signals that correspond with one or more corresponding input operating instructions. A first input operating instruction is received from a first signal splitter. A first output control signal is received from a second signal splitter. The deep learning processor correlates the first input operating instruction and the first output control signal. Based on the correlating, the deep learning processor determines that the first output control signal is not within a range of expected values based on the first input operating instruction. Responsive to the determining, an indication of an anomalous activity is provided as a result of detection of the anomalous activity in the manufacturing process.
