Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods related to semiconductor structure formation are described. An example apparatus includes a structural material for a semiconductor device. The structural material includes an orthosilicate derived oligomer having a number of oxygen (O) atoms each chemically bonded to one of a corresponding number of silicon (Si) atoms and a chemical bond formed between an element from group 13 of a periodic table of elements (e.g., B, Al, Ga, In, and Tl) and the number of O atoms of the orthosilicate derived oligomer. The chemical bond crosslinks chains of the orthosilicate derived oligomer to increase mechanical strength of the structural material, relative to the structural material formed without the chemical bond to crosslink the chains, among other benefits described herein.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices related to a memory device with a thermal barrier are described. The thermal barrier (e.g., a low density thermal barrier) may be positioned between an access line (e.g., a digit line or a word line) and a cell component. The thermal barrier may be formed on the surface of a barrier material by applying a plasma treatment to the barrier material. The thermal barrier may have a lower density than the barrier material and may be configured to thermally insulate the cell component from thermal energy generated in the memory device, among other benefits.
