Abstract: A sensor array includes a semiconductor substrate, a first plurality of FET sensors and a second plurality of FET sensors. Each of the FET sensors includes a channel region between a source and a drain region in the semiconductor substrate and underlying a gate structure disposed on a first side of the channel region, and a dielectric layer disposed on a second side of the channel region opposite from the first side of the channel region. A first plurality of capture reagents is coupled to the dielectric layer over the channel region of the first plurality of FET sensors, and a second plurality of capture reagents is coupled to the dielectric layer over the channel region of the second plurality of FET sensors. The second plurality of capture reagents is different from the first plurality of capture reagents.

Abstract: A semiconductor device and method for forming the semiconductor device are provided. In some embodiments, a semiconductor substrate comprises a device region. An isolation structure extends laterally in a closed path to demarcate the device region. A first source/drain region and a second source/drain region are in the device region and laterally spaced. A sidewall of the first source/drain region directly contacts the isolation structure at a first isolation structure sidewall, and remaining sidewalls of the first source/drain region are spaced from the isolation structure. A selectively-conductive channel is in the device region, and extends laterally from the first source/drain region to the second source/drain region. A plate comprises a central portion and a first peripheral portion. The central portion overlies the selectively-conductive channel, and the first peripheral portion protrudes from the central portion towards the first isolation structure sidewall.

Abstract: In some embodiments, the present disclosure relates to a method for recovering degraded device performance of a piezoelectric device. The method includes operating the piezoelectric device in a performance mode by applying one or more voltage pulses to the piezoelectric device, and determining that a performance parameter of the piezoelectric device has a first value that has deviated from a reference value by more than a predetermined threshold value during a first time period. During a second time period, the method further includes applying a bipolar loop to the piezoelectric device, comprising positive and negative voltage biases. During a third time period, the method further includes operating the piezoelectric device in the performance mode, wherein the performance parameter has a second value. An absolute difference between the second value and the reference value is less than an absolute difference between the first value and the reference value.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a MIM (metal-insulator-metal) capacitor having a top electrode overlying a substrate. A passivation layer overlies the top electrode. The passivation layer has a step region that continuously contacts and extends from a top surface of the top electrode to sidewalls of the top electrode. A metal frame overlies the passivation layer. The metal frame continuously contacts and extends from a top surface of the passivation layer to upper sidewalls of the passivation layer in the step region. The metal frame has a protrusion that extends through the passivation layer and contacts the top surface of the top electrode.

Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards a piezoelectric metal-insulator-metal (MIM) device including a piezoelectric structure between a top electrode and a bottom electrode. The piezoelectric layer includes a top region overlying a bottom region. Outer sidewalls of the bottom region extend past outer sidewalls of the top region. The outer sidewalls of the top region are aligned with outer sidewalls of the top electrode. The piezoelectric layer is configured to help limit delamination of the top electrode from the piezoelectric layer.
