Abstract: A field-effect transistor (FET), selectively switchable between first and second states, includes: source and drain regions and a channel region disposed therebetween; a gate arranged to selectively receive a bias voltage which switches the FET between the first and second states; a memory structure between the gate and the channel region, structure including a first portion which is anti-ferroelectric and a second portion which is ferroelectric, both portions being polarized in a first direction when the FET is in the first state; and a depolarization dielectric layer disposed proximate to the memory structure. When the FET is set to the first state, the depolarization dielectric layer destabilizes a polarization of the second portion of the memory structure while maintaining a polarization of the first portion.

Abstract: A process of forming a three-dimensional (3D) memory array includes forming a stack having a plurality of conductive layers of carbon-based material separated by dielectric layers. Etching trenches in the stack divides the conductive layers into conductive strips. The resulting structure includes a two-dimensional array of horizontal conductive strips. Memory cells may be distributed along the length of each strip to provide a 3D array. The conductive strips together with additional conductive structure that may have a vertical or horizontal orientation allow the memory cells to be addressed individually. Forming the conductive layers with carbon-based material facilitate etching the trenches to a high aspect ratio. Accordingly, forming the conductive layers of carbon-based material enables the memory array to have more layers or to have a higher area density.
