    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method of forming a resistive random access memory (RRAM) cell having a good yield, and an associated apparatus. In some embodiments, the method is performed by forming a bottom electrode over a lower metal interconnect layer, and forming a variable resistance dielectric data storage layer having a first thickness onto the bottom electrode. A capping layer is formed onto the dielectric data storage layer. The capping layer has a second thickness that is in a range of between approximately 2 to approximately 3 times thicker than the first thickness. A top electrode is formed over the capping layer, and an upper metal interconnect layer is formed over the top electrode.

    Abstract: An integrated circuit device including a resistive random access memory (RRAM) cell formed over a substrate. The RRAM cell includes a top electrode having an upper surface. A blocking layer covers a portion of the upper surface. A via extends above the top electrode within a matrix of dielectric. The upper surface of the top electrode includes an area that interfaces with the blocking layer and an area that interfaces with the via. The area of the upper surface that interfaces with the via surrounds the area of the upper surface that interfaces with the blocking layer. The blocking layer is functional during processing to protect the RRAM cell from etch damage while being structured in such a way as to not interfere with contact between the overlying via and the top electrode.

    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards a memory cell comprising a high electron affinity dielectric layer at a bottom electrode. The high electron affinity dielectric layer is one of multiple different dielectric layers vertically stacked between the bottom electrode and a top electrode overlying the bottom electrode. Further, the high electrode electron affinity dielectric layer has a highest electron affinity amongst the multiple different dielectric layers and is closest to the bottom electrode. The different dielectric layers are different in terms of material systems and/or material compositions. It has been appreciated that by arranging the high electron affinity dielectric layer closest to the bottom electrode, the likelihood of the memory cell becoming stuck during cycling is reduced at least when the memory cell is RRAM. Hence, the likelihood of a hard reset/failure bit is reduced.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method of forming a memory structure. The method includes depositing a ferroelectric random access memory (FeRAM) stack over a substrate. The FeRAM stack has a ferroelectric layer and one or more conductive layers over the ferroelectric layer. The FeRAM stack is patterned to define an FeRAM device stack. A sidewall spacer is formed along a first side of the FeRAM device stack, and a select gate is formed along a side of the sidewall spacer that faces away from the FeRAM device stack. A source region is formed within the substrate and along a second side of the FeRAM device stack, and a drain region is formed within the substrate. The drain region is separated from the FeRAM device stack by the select gate.

    Abstract: The present disclosure, in some embodiments, relates to a method of forming a resistive random access memory (RRAM) device. The method includes forming one or more bottom electrode films over a lower interconnect layer within a lower inter-level dielectric layer. A data storage film having a variable resistance is formed above the one or more bottom electrode films. A lower top electrode film including a metal is over the data storage film, one or more oxygen barrier films are over the lower top electrode film, and an upper top electrode film including a metal nitride is formed over the one or more oxygen barrier films. The one or more oxygen barrier films include one or more of a metal oxide film and a metal oxynitride film. The upper top electrode film is formed to be completely confined over a top surface of the one or more oxygen barrier films.
