Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for forming thin-film transistors (TFTs) with low contact resistance. As disclosed in the present application, the low contact resistance can be achieved by intentionally thinning one or both of the source/drain (S/D) regions of the thin-film layer of the TFT device. As the TFT layer may have an initial thickness in the range of 20-65 nm, the techniques for thinning the S/D regions of the TFT layer described herein may reduce the thickness in one or both of those S/D regions to a resulting thickness of 3-10 nm, for example. Intentionally thinning one or both of the S/D regions of the TFT layer induces more electrostatic charges inside the thinned S/D region, thereby increasing the effective dopant in that S/D region. The increase in effective dopant in the thinned S/D region helps lower the related contact resistance, thereby leading to enhanced overall device performance.

Abstract: Substrates, assemblies, and techniques for an apparatus, where the apparatus includes a gate, where the gate includes a first gate side and a second gate side opposite to the first gate side, a gate dielectric on the gate, where the gate dielectric includes a first gate dielectric side and a second gate dielectric side opposite to the first gate dielectric side, a first dielectric, where the first dielectric abuts the first gate side, the first gate dielectric side, the second gate side, and the second gate dielectric side, a channel, where the gate dielectric is between the channel and the gate, a source coupled with the channel, and a drain coupled with the channel, where the first dielectric abuts the source and the drain. In an example, the first dielectric and the gate dielectric help insulate the gate from the channel, the source, and the drain.

Abstract: Hybrid bonding interconnect (HBI) architectures for scalability. Embodiments implement a bonding layer on a semiconductor die that includes a thick oxide layer overlaid with a thin layer of a hermetic material including silicon and at least one of carbon and nitrogen. The conductive bonds of the semiconductor die are placed in the thick oxide layer and exposed at the surface of the hermetic material. Some embodiments implement a non-bonding moisture seal ring (MSR) structure.

Abstract: Perovskite oxide field effect transistors comprise perovskite oxide materials for the channel, source, drain, and gate oxide regions. The source and drain regions are doped with a higher concentration of n-type or p-type dopants (depending on whether the transistor is an n-type or p-type transistor) than the dopant concentration in the channel region to minimize Schottky barrier height between the source and drain regions and the source and drain metal contact and contact resistance.
