    Abstract: Examples herein relate to three-dimensional (3D) dynamic random access memory (DRAM) and corresponding methods. In an example, a stacked semiconductor structure is provided, where the stacked semiconductor structure includes a plurality of unit stacks formed on a substrate. Each unit stack has a semiconductor layer, a first dielectric layer, a first gate electrode, and a second dielectric layer of a capacitor portion. A lateral recess of the capacitor portion is open to a first opening through the unit stack. The method includes conformally depositing, in the lateral recess, a doped silicon layer on a lateral end of the semiconductor layer, performing a thermal annealing process after forming the doped silicon layer on the second lateral end. The method further includes forming a capacitor where the lateral recess was disposed, the capacitor contacting the doped silicon layer on the second lateral end of the semiconductor layer.

    Abstract: Provided is a processing chamber configured to contain a semiconductor substrate in a processing region of the chamber. The processing chamber includes a remote plasma unit and a direct plasma unit, wherein one of the remote plasma unit or the direct plasma unit generates a remote plasma and the other of the remote plasma unit or the direct plasma unit generates a direct plasma. The combination of a remote plasma unit and a direct plasma unit is used to remove, etch, clean, or treat residue on a substrate from previous processing and/or from native oxide formation. The combination of a remote plasma unit and direct plasma unit is used to deposit thin films on a substrate.

    Abstract: Technologies directed to an eco-efficiency monitoring and exploration platform for semiconductor manufacturing. One method includes receiving, by a processing device, first data indicating an update to a substrate fabrication system having a first configuration of manufacturing equipment and operating to one or more process procedures. The method further includes determining, by the processing device, using the first data with a digital replica, environmental resource data. The digital replica includes a digital reproduction of the substrate fabrication system. The environmental resource usage data indicates an environment resource consumption that corresponds to performing the one or more process procedures by the substrate fabrication system incorporating the update. The method further includes providing, by the processing device, the environmental resource usage data for display on a graphical user interface (GUI).
