  • Publication number: 20250098160
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards a method for opening a source line in a memory device. An erase gate line (EGL) and the source line are formed elongated in parallel. The source line underlies the EGL and is separated from the EGL by a dielectric layer. A first etch is performed to form a first opening through the EGL and stops on the dielectric layer. A second etch is performed to thin the dielectric layer at the first opening, wherein the first and second etches are performed with a common mask in place. A silicide process is performed to form a silicide layer on the source line at the first opening, wherein the silicide process comprises a third etch with a second mask in place and extends the first opening through the dielectric layer. A via is formed extending through the EGL to the silicide layer.

  • Publication number: 20250063758
    Abstract: A titanium precursor is used to selectively form a titanium silicide (TiSix) layer in a semiconductor device. A plasma-based deposition operation is performed in which the titanium precursor is provided into an opening, and a reactant gas and a plasma are used to cause silicon to diffuse to a top surface of a transistor structure. The diffusion of silicon results in the formation of a silicon-rich surface of the transistor structure, which increases the selectivity of the titanium silicide formation relative to other materials of the semiconductor device. The titanium precursor reacts with the silicon-rich surface to form the titanium silicide layer. The selective titanium silicide layer formation results in the formation of a titanium silicon nitride (TiSixNy) on the sidewalls in the opening, which enables a conductive structure such as a metal source/drain contact to be formed in the opening without the addition of another barrier layer.

  • Patent number: 12152243
    Abstract: The invention provides non-opioid pain therapeutic compositions that include an antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) complementary to an identified target on a NaV channel mRNA. The ASO hybridizes to its target RNA and forms a duplex that recruits RNase H to degrade the RNA, thereby downregulating NaV channel synthesis, which inhibits the neuron's ability to contribute to the perception of pain. The ASO targets one of the specific identified targets, and may be provided as a gapmer that includes a central DNA segment flanked by modified RNA wings. When the composition is delivered to dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons in vitro, the DRG neurons exhibit a dose-dependent knockdown of NaV1.7, NaV1.8, or NaV1.9.
