  • Publication number: 20240107776
    Abstract: An antiferroelectric field effect transistor (Anti-FeFET) of a memory cell includes an antiferroelectric layer instead of a ferroelectric layer. The antiferroelectric layer may operate based on a programmed state and an erased state in which the antiferroelectric layer is in a fully polarized alignment and a non-polarized alignment (or a random state of polarization), respectively. This enables the antiferroelectric layer in the FeFET to provide a sharper/larger voltage drop for an erase operation of the FeFET (e.g., in which the FeFET switches or transitions from the programmed state to the erased state) relative to a ferroelectric material layer that operates based on switching between two opposing fully polarized states.

  • Publication number: 20240102194
    Abstract: A plating system and a method thereof are disclosed. The plating system performs a N-stage plating drilling filling process in which a M-th stage plating drilling filling process with a M-th current density is performed on a hole of a substrate for a M-th plating time to form a M-th plating layer on the to-be-plated layer, wherein N is a positive integer equal to or greater than 3, and M is a positive integer positive integer in a range of 1 to N. Therefore, the technical effect of providing a higher drilling filling rate than conventional plating filling technology under a condition that a total thickness of plating layers is fixed can be achieved.
