Abstract: A memory structure is provided that avoids high resistance due to the galvanic effect. The high resistance is reduced and/or eliminated by providing a T-shaped bottom electrode structure of uniform construction (i.e., a single piece). The T-shaped bottom electrode structure includes a narrow base portion and a wider shelf portion. The shelf portion of the T-shaped bottom electrode structure has a planar topmost surface in which a MTJ pillar forms an interface with.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention include a method of using a sensor. The method includes accessing a sample and exposing the sample to the sensor. The sensor includes a sensing circuit having with a field effect transistor (FET) having a gate structure. A cavity is formed in a fill material that is over the gate structure. A probe of the sensor is within a portion of the cavity. An upper region of the probe is above a top surface of the fill material, and a lower region of the probe is below the top surface of the fill material. The probe structure includes a 3D sensing surface structure, and a liner is formed on the 3D sensing surface and configured to function as a recognition element. A portion of the liner is on the lower region of the probe and positioned between sidewalls of the cavity and the 3D sensing surface.

Abstract: A bottom electrode structure for MRAM or MTJ-based memory cells comprises a taper so that the bottom CD is smaller than the top CD. A process of making a bottom electrode contact structure comprises etching a dielectric layer using a plasma chemistry with an increased degree of polymerization. We obtain a product made by this process.

Abstract: A multilayered bottom electrode for a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) containing device is provided that includes, from bottom to top, a base segment having a first diameter and composed of a remaining portion of a first bottom electrode metal-containing layer, a middle segment having a second diameter and composed of a remaining portion of a second bottom electrode metal-containing layer, and an upper segment having a third diameter and composed of a remaining portion of a third bottom electrode metal-containing layer, wherein the first diameter is greater than the second diameter, and the third diameter is equal to, or less than, the second diameter. The wider base segment of each multilayered bottom electrode prevents tilting and/or bowing of the resultant bottom electrode. Thus, a stable bottom electrode is provided.

Abstract: A semiconductor structure is provided that includes a semiconductor fin portion having an end wall and extending upward from a substrate. A gate structure straddles a portion of the semiconductor fin portion. A first set of gate spacers is located on opposing sidewall surfaces of the gate structure; and a second set of gate spacers is located on sidewalls of the first set of gate spacers. One gate spacer of the second set of gate spacers has a lower portion that directly contacts the end wall of the semiconductor fin portion.
