Publication number: 20250098187Abstract: A memory cell structure includes a transistor structure and a capacitor structure, where the capacitor structure includes a hydrogen absorption layer. The hydrogen absorption layer absorbs hydrogen, which prevents or reduces the likelihood of the hydrogen diffusing into an underlying metal-oxide channel of the transistor structure. In this way, the hydrogen absorption layer minimizes and/or reduces the likelihood of hydrogen contamination in the metal-oxide channel, which may enable a low current leakage to be achieved for the memory cell structure and reduces the likelihood of data corruption and/or failure of the memory cell structure, among other examples.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 18, 2023Publication date: March 20, 2025Inventors: Yu-Chien CHIU, Chen-Han CHOU, Ya-Yun CHENG, Ya-Chun CHANG, Wen-Ling LU, Yu-Kai CHANG, Pei-Chun LIAO, Chung-Wei WU
