Abstract: Describe is a resonator that uses anti-ferroelectric (AFE) materials in the gate of a transistor as a dielectric. The use of AFE increases the strain/stress generated in the gate of the FinFET. Along with the usual capacitive drive, which is boosted with the increased polarization, additional current drive is also achieved from the piezoelectric response generated to due to AFE material. In some embodiments, the acoustic mode of the resonator is isolated using phononic gratings all around the resonator using the metal line above and vias' to body and dummy fins on the side. As such, a Bragg reflector is formed above or below the AFE based transistor. Increased drive signal from the AFE results in larger output signal and larger bandwidth.

Abstract: A transistor has multiple channel regions coupling source and drain structures, and a seed material is between one of the source or drain structures and a channel material, which includes a metal and a chalcogen. Each channel region may include a nanoribbon. A nanoribbon may have a monocrystalline structure and a thickness of a monolayer, less than 1 nm. A nanoribbon may be free of internal grain boundaries. A nanoribbon may have an internal grain boundary adjacent an end opposite the seed material. The seed material may directly contact the first of the source or drain structures, and the channel material may directly contact the second of the source or drain structures.

Abstract: Multiple-ferroelectric capacitor structures in memory devices, including in integrated circuit devices, and techniques for forming the structures. Insulators separating individual outer plates in a ferroelectric capacitor array are supported between wider portions of a shared, inner plate. Wider portions of an inner plate may be formed in lateral recesses between insulating layers. Ferroelectric material may be deposited over the inner plate between insulating layers after removing sacrificial layers. An etch-stop layer may protect the inner plate when sacrificial layers are removed. An etch-stop or interface layer may remain over the inner plate adjacent insulators.

Abstract: Techniques and mechanisms for storing data with a memory cell which comprises a ferroelectric (FE) resistive junction. In an embodiment, a memory cell comprises a transistor and a FE resistive junction structure which is coupled to the transistor. The FE resistive junction structure comprises electrode structures, and a layer of a material which is between said electrode structures, wherein the material is a FE oxide or a FE semiconductor. The FE resistive junction structure selectively provides any of various levels of resistance, each to represent a respective one or more bits. A current flow through the FE resistive junction structure is characterized by thermionic emission through a Schottky barrier at an interface with one of the electrode structures. In another embodiment, the FE resistive junction structure further comprises one or more dielectric layers each between the layer of material and a different respective one of the electrode structures.

Abstract: Integrated circuits with embedded memory that includes ferroelectric capacitors having first conductor structures coupled to an underlying array of access transistors, and second conductors coupled to independent plate lines that are shunted by a metal strap having a pitch similar to that of the capacitors. The independent plate lines may reduce bit-cell disturbs and/or simplify read/write process while the plate line straps reduce series resistance of the plate lines. The metal straps may be subtractively patterned lines in direct contact with the second capacitor conductors, or may be damascene structures coupled to the second capacitor conductors through vias that also have a pitch similar to that of the capacitors.

Abstract: Techniques and mechanisms to provide electrical insulation between a gate and a channel region of a non-planar circuit device. In an embodiment, the gate structure, and insulation spacers at opposite respective sides of the gate structure, each extend over a semiconductor fin structure. In a region between the insulation spacers, a first dielectric layer extends conformally over the fin, and a second dielectric layer adjoins and extends conformally over the first dielectric layer. A third dielectric layer, adjoining the second dielectric layer and the insulation spacers, extends under the gate structure. Of the first, second and third dielectric layers, the third dielectric layer is conformal to respective sidewalls of the insulation spacers.
