    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: Various embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards an integrated chip including a field plate. A gate electrode overlies a substrate between a source region and a drain region. A drift region is arranged laterally between the gate electrode and the drain region. A plurality of inter-level dielectric (ILD) layers overlie the substrate. The plurality of ILD layers includes a first ILD layer underlying a second ILD layer. A plurality of conductive interconnect layers is disposed within the plurality of ILD layers. The field plate extends from a top surface of the first ILD layer to a point that is vertically separated from the drift region by the first ILD layer. The field plate is laterally offset the gate electrode by a non-zero distance in a direction toward the drain region. The field plate includes a same material as at least one of the plurality of conductive interconnect layers.

    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.
