摘要: A ferroelectric memory includes a substrate and a plurality of memory cells formed on the substrate. Each memory cell includes a transistor and a plurality of ferroelectric capacitors. In other words, each memory cell includes at least two ferroelectric capacitors to implement multi-bit data storage. The transistor and the plurality of ferroelectric capacitors are arranged in a first direction perpendicular to the substrate. Any ferroelectric capacitor includes a first electrode layer, a second electrode layer, and a ferroelectric layer formed between the first electrode layer and the second electrode layer. The first electrode layers of every two adjacent ferroelectric capacitors of the plurality of ferroelectric capacitors are in contact, to form a shared first electrode layer that extends in the first direction.

摘要: Some embodiments include a method of forming an integrated assembly. Semiconductor material is patterned into a configuration which includes a set of first upwardly-projecting structures spaced from one another by first gaps, and a second upwardly-projecting structure spaced from the set by a second gap. The second gap is larger than the first gaps. Conductive material is formed along the first and second upwardly-projecting structures and within the first and second gaps. First and second segments of protective material are formed over regions of the conductive material within the second gap, and then an etch is utilized to pattern the conductive material into first conductive structures within the first gaps and into second conductive structures within the second gap. Some embodiments include integrated assemblies.

摘要: Some embodiments include an integrated assembly having a pillar of semiconductor material. The pillar has a base region, and bifurcates into two segments which extend upwardly from the base region. The two segments are horizontally spaced from one another by an intervening region. A conductive gate is within the intervening region. A first source/drain region is within the base region, a second source/drain region is within the segments, and a channel region is within the segments. The channel region is adjacent to the conductive gate and is vertically disposed between the first and second source/drain regions. Some embodiments include methods of forming integrated assemblies.

摘要: A method used in forming an array of memory cells comprises forming a vertical stack comprising transistor material directly above and directly against a first capacitor electrode material. A mask is used to subtractively etch both the transistor material and thereafter the first capacitor electrode material to form a plurality of pillars that individually comprise the transistor material and the first capacitor electrode material. Capacitors are formed that individually comprise the first capacitor electrode material of individual of the pillars. Vertical transistors are formed above the capacitors that individually comprise the transistor material of the individual pillars. Other aspects and embodiments are disclosed, including structure independent of method.

摘要: Methods, systems, and devices for power gating in a memory device are described for using one or more memory cells as drivers for load circuits of a memory device. A group of memory cells of the memory device may represent memory cells that include a switching component and that omit a memory storage element. These memory cells may be coupled with respective plate lines that may be coupled with a voltage source having a first supply voltage. Each memory cell of the group may also be coupled with a respective digit line that may be coupled with the load circuits. Respective switching components of the group of memory cells may therefore act as drivers to apply the first supply voltage to one or more load circuits by coupling a digit line with a plate line having the first supply voltage.

摘要: An integration process including an etch stop layer for high density memory and logic applications and methods of fabrication are described. While various examples are described with reference to FeRAM, capacitive structures formed herein can be used for any application where a capacitor is desired. For instance, the capacitive structure can be used for fabricating ferroelectric based or paraelectric based majority gate, minority gate, and/or threshold gate.

摘要: Methods, systems, and devices for thin film transistor deck selection in a memory device are described. A memory device may include memory arrays arranged in a stack of decks formed over a substrate, and deck selection components distributed among the layers to leverage common substrate-based circuitry. For example, each memory array of the stack may include a set of digit lines of a corresponding deck, and deck selection circuitry operable to couple the set of digit lines with a column decoder that is shared among multiple decks. To access memory cells of a selected memory array on one deck, the deck selection circuitry corresponding to the memory array may each be activated, while the deck selection circuitry corresponding to a non-selected memory array on another deck may be deactivated. The deck selection circuitry, such as transistors, may leverage thin-film manufacturing techniques, such as various techniques for forming vertical transistors.
