  • Patent number: 11961877
    Abstract: A device includes, in a first region, a first conductive interconnect, an electrode structure on the first conductive interconnect, where the electrode structure includes a first conductive hydrogen barrier layer and a first conductive fill material. A trench capacitor including a ferroelectric material or a paraelectric material is on the electrode structure. A second dielectric includes an amorphous, greater than 90% film density hydrogen barrier material laterally surrounds the memory device. A via electrode including a second conductive hydrogen barrier material is on at least a portion of the memory device. A second region includes a conductive interconnect structure embedded within a less than 90% film density dielectric material.

  • Patent number: 11810608
    Abstract: A high-density low voltage ferroelectric (or paraelectric) memory bit-cell that includes a planar ferroelectric or paraelectric capacitor. The memory bit-cell comprises 1T1C configuration, where a plate-line is parallel to a word-line, or the plate-line is parallel to a bit-line. The memory bit-cell can be 1TnC, where ‘n’ is a number. In a 1TnC bit-cell, the capacitors are vertically stacked allowing for multiple values to be stored in a single bit-cell. The memory bit-cell can be multi-element FE gain bit-cell. In a multi-element FE gain bit-cell, data sensing is done with signal amplified by a gain transistor in the bit-cell. As such, higher storage density is realized using multi-element FE gain bit-cells. In some examples, the 1T1C, 1TnC, and multi-element FE gain bit-cells are multi-level bit-cells. To realize multi-level bit-cells, the capacitor is placed in a partially switched polarization state by applying different voltage levels or different time pulse widths at the same voltage level.
