摘要: An alternating stack of insulating layers and sacrificial material layers is formed over a substrate, and support pillar structures are formed through the alternating stack. Stepped surfaces are formed by patterning the alternating stack and the support pillar structures. A retro-stepped dielectric material portion is formed over the stepped surfaces. Memory openings and memory opening fill structures are formed through the alternating stack. Electrically conductive layers are formed by replacing at least the sacrificial material layers with at least one electrically conductive material. Contact via structures are formed through the retro-stepped dielectric material portion on the electrically conductive layers. A first support pillar structure is located directly below a first contact via structure.

摘要: The memory device includes a control circuitry that is communicatively coupled to memory cells are arranged in a plurality of word lines. The control circuitry is configured to perform a first programming pass on a selected word line. The first programming pass includes a plurality of programming loops, each of which includes the application of a programming pulse (Vpgm). The programming pulse voltage is increased between programming loops of the first programming pass by a step size. The step size is a first step size between two programming loops of the first programming pass and is a second step size that is different than the first step size between two other programming loops of the first programming pass. The control circuitry is also configured to perform a second programming pass to further program the memory cells of the selected word line to the plurality of data states.

摘要: A magnetoresistive memory cell includes a magnetoresistive layer stack containing a reference layer, a nonmagnetic spacer layer, and a free layer. A ferroelectric material layer having two stable ferroelectric states is coupled to a strain-modulated ferromagnetic layer to alter a sign of magnetic exchange coupling between the strain-modulated ferromagnetic layer and the free layer. The strain-modulated ferromagnetic layer may be the reference layer or a perpendicular magnetic anisotropy layer that is located proximate to the ferroelectric material layer. The magnetoresistive memory cell may be configured as a three-terminal device or as a two-terminal device, and may be configured as a tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) device or as a giant magnetoresistance (GMR) device.

摘要: To provide more test data during the manufacture of non-volatile memories and other integrated circuits, machine learning is used to generate virtual test values. Virtual test results are interpolated for one set of tests for devices on which the test is not performed based on correlations with other sets of tests. In one example, machine learning determines a correlation study between bad block values determined at die sort and photo-limited yield (PLY) values determined inline during processing. The correlation can be applied to interpolate virtual inline PLY data for all of the memory dies, allowing for more rapid feedback on the processing parameters for manufacturing the memory dies and making the manufacturing process more efficient and accurate. In another set of embodiments, the machine learning is used to extrapolate limited metrology (e.g., critical dimension) test data to all of the memory die through interpolated virtual metrology data values.

摘要: Two types of support pillar structures are formed in a staircase region of an alternating stack of insulating layers and sacrificial material layers. First-type support pillar structures are formed in areas distal from backside trenches to be subsequently formed, and second-type support pillar structures may be formed in areas proximal to the backside trenches. The second-type support pillar structures may be formed as dielectric support pillar structures, or may be formed with at least one additional dielectric spacer.

摘要: A semiconductor structure includes an alternating stack of insulating layers and electrically conductive layers, a memory opening vertically extending through the alternating stack, and a memory opening fill structure located in the memory opening and including a vertical semiconductor channel, a memory film in contact with the vertical semiconductor channel, and a vertical stack of tubular dielectric spacers laterally surrounding the memory film. The tubular dielectric spacers may include tubular graded silicon oxynitride portions having a composition gradient such that an atomic concentration of nitrogen decreases with a lateral distance from an outer sidewall of the memory film, or may include tubular composite dielectric spacers including a respective tubular silicon oxide spacer and a respective tubular dielectric metal oxide spacer.
