    摘要: A semiconductor test device for measuring a contact resistance includes: first fin structures, upper portions of the first fin structures protruding from an isolation insulating layer; epitaxial layers formed on the upper portions of the first fin structures, respectively; first conductive layers formed on the epitaxial layers, respectively; a first contact layer disposed on the first conductive layers at a first point; a second contact layer disposed on the first conductive layers at a second point apart from the first point; a first pad coupled to the first contact layer via a first wiring; and a second pad coupled to the second contact layer via a second wiring. The semiconductor test device is configured to measure the contact resistance between the first contact layer and the first fin structures by applying a current between the first pad and the second pad.

    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.
