  • Publication number: 20250137605
    Abstract: Disclosed is a cover window using a plastic rather than a glass, and a method for manufacturing the same. The cover window, includes: a base material layer formed of a transparent plastic material; and a black layer stacked on one surface of the base material layer and formed along a periphery of the base material layer. With this configuration, there is an effect of reducing manufacturing costs, preventing a safety accident that may occur due to breakage by using a plastic rather than a glass and preventing deterioration of adhesion and discoloration of the base material layer and the black layer when dual injection is conducted.

  • Publication number: 20250056828
    Abstract: Some implementations herein provide for a memory device and methods of formation. The memory device includes a plurality of storage cells arranged vertically and a plurality of corresponding gate all around transistors. Methods of forming the memory device include using a single trench to remove a liner material and form recesses that define cell contact lightly-doped drain regions of the gate all around transistors. Using the single trench to remove the liner material and form the recesses that define the cell contact lightly-doped drain region widths causes the cell contact lightly-doped drain regions to be formed having substantially similar widths.

  • Publication number: 20250040130
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for doping of memory cell selection transistors are described. Cell selection transistors of an array of memory cells may each include a semiconductor channel that is doped at a middle portion of the channel, which may support a deselection voltage for relatively high channel resistance that is relatively closer to or equal to a ground voltage than other transistor configurations. The semiconductor channels may include a p-type doping (e.g., using a configured concentration of boron) at a middle portion of the channels that is between end portions that are doped with an n-type doping (e.g., using phosphorous, arsenic, or a combination thereof, among other examples of n-type doping). In some implementations, undoped regions may be included between the n-type doped portions and the p-type doped portions. Such techniques may be implemented in horizontal cell selection transistors formed over a substrate, including for three-dimensional memory arrays.

  • Patent number: 12150289
    Abstract: A method of forming a microelectronic device comprises forming a spacer structure having a rectangular ring horizontal cross-sectional shape over a transistor, a portion of the spacer structure horizontally overlapping a drain region of the transistor. A masking structure is formed over the spacer structure and the transistor, the masking structure exhibiting an opening therein horizontally overlapping the drain region of the transistor and the portion of the spacer structure. A portion of an isolation structure overlying the drain region of the transistor is removed using the masking structure and the portion of the spacer structure as etching masks to form a trench vertically extending through the isolation structure to the drain region of the transistor. A drain contact structure is formed within the trench in the isolation structure. Microelectronic devices, memory devices, and electronic systems are also described.
