摘要: The present disclosure describes a structure with a conductive plate and a method for forming the structure. The structure includes a gate structure disposed on a diffusion region of a substrate, a protective layer in contact with the diffusion region and covering a sidewall of the gate structure and a portion of a top surface of the gate structure, and a first insulating layer in contact with the gate structure and the protective layer. The structure further includes a conductive plate in contact with the first insulating layer, where a first portion of the conductive plate laterally extends over a horizontal portion of the protective layer, and where a second portion of the conductive plate extends over a sidewall portion of the protective layer covering the sidewall of the gate structure. The structure further includes a second insulating layer in contact with the conductive plate.

摘要: A method of forming a semiconductor device is disclosed. The method includes providing a device having a substrate and a hard mask layer over the substrate; forming a mandrel over the hard mask layer; depositing a material layer on sidewalls of the mandrel; implanting a dopant into the material layer; performing an etching process on the hard mask layer using the mandrel and the material layer as an etching mask, thereby forming a patterned hard mask layer, wherein the etching process concurrently produces a dielectric layer deposited on sidewalls of the patterned hard mask layer, the dielectric layer containing the dopant; and forming a fin by etching the substrate using the patterned hard mask layer and the dielectric layer collectively as an etching mask.

摘要: A ferroelectric semiconductor device and method are described herein. The method includes performing a diffusion anneal process to drive elements of a dopant film through an amorphous silicon layer and into a gate dielectric layer over a fin to form a doped gate dielectric layer with a gradient depth profile of dopant concentrations. The doped gate dielectric layer is crystallized during a post-cap anneal process to form a gradient depth profile of ferroelectric properties within the crystallized gate dielectric layer. A metal gate electrode is formed over the crystallized gate dielectric layer to obtain a ferroelectric transistor with multi-ferroelectric properties between the gate electrode and the channel. The ferroelectric transistor may be used in deep neural network (DNN) applications.

摘要: The various described embodiments provide a transistor with a negative capacitance, and a method of creating the same. The transistor includes a gate structure having a ferroelectric layer. The ferroelectric layer is formed by forming a thick ferroelectric film, annealing the ferroelectric film to have a desired phase, and thinning the ferroelectric film to a desired thickness of the ferroelectric layer. This process ensures that the ferroelectric layer will have ferroelectric properties regardless of its thickness.
