Abstract: An example of an apparatus may include NAND memory and circuitry coupled to the NAND memory to monitor a sense voltage for an operation associated with a wordline of the NAND memory, and adjust a negative charge pump for the wordline prior to completion of the operation based on the monitored sense voltage. Other examples are disclosed and claimed.

Abstract: Integrated circuit structures having metal-containing source or drain structures, and methods of fabricating integrated circuit structures having metal-containing source or drain structures, are described. For example, an integrated circuit structure includes a vertical arrangement of horizontal nanowires. A gate stack is around the vertical arrangement of horizontal nanowires. A first epitaxial source or drain structure is at a first end of the vertical arrangement of horizontal nanowires, and a second epitaxial source or drain structure is at a second end of the vertical arrangement of horizontal nanowires. The first and second epitaxial source or drain structures include a metal species diffused therein, the metal species further diffused partially into the vertical arrangement of horizontal nanowires.

Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein include semiconductor devices and methods of forming such semiconductor devices. In an embodiment, a semiconductor device comprises a semiconductor channel, a source region adjacent to the semiconductor channel, and a drain region adjacent to the semiconductor channel. In an embodiment, the source region and the drain region each comprise a trench, a conformal silicide lining the trench, and a binary metallic alloy filling the trench.
