Abstract: A resistive random access memory (RRAM) structure includes top and bottom electrodes electrically coupled with first and second metal connection lines, respectively, the first and second metal connection lines providing electrical connection to the RRAM structure. A layer of resistive switching material is disposed between the top and bottom electrodes of the RRAM structure. The resistive switching material exhibits a measurable change in resistance under influence of at least an electric field and/or heat. Dielectric spacers are formed on sidewalls of at least the bottom electrode of the RRAM structure. The RRAM structure further includes a passivation layer formed on an upper surface of the dielectric spacers and covering at least a portion of sidewalls of the top electrode.

Abstract: A non-volatile memory having a 3D cross-point architecture and twice the cell density is provided in which vertically stacked word lines run in plane (i.e., parallel) to the substrate and bit lines runs perpendicular to the vertically stacked word lines. The vertically stacked word lines are located in a patterned dielectric material stack that includes alternating first dielectric material layers and recessed second dielectric material layers. The first dielectric material layers vertically separate each word line within each vertical stack of word lines and the recessed second dielectric material layers are located laterally adjacent to the word lines. A dielectric switching material layer is located between each word line-bit line combination. Some of the bit lines are located in the dielectric material stack and some of the bit lines are located in an interlayer dielectric material layer.

Abstract: A semiconductor structure is provided that includes a first FET device stacked over a second FET device, wherein the first FET device contains a first functional gate structure containing a first work function metal and the second FET device contains a second functional gate structure containing a second work function metal. In the structure, the first work function metal is absent from an area including the second work function metal, and vice versa. Thus, no shared work functional metal is present in the semiconductor structure.

Abstract: A semiconductor structure is presented including source/drain (S/D) epitaxial growth formed over a bottom dielectric isolation region, at least one first semiconductor layer disposed within the S/D epitaxial growth in a S/D region and at least one second semiconductor layer disposed partially within a gate region. The at least one second semiconductor layer extends from the gate region into a spacer region to enable a connection to the S/D epitaxial growth. The semiconductor structure further includes a first region with adjacent devices exhibiting a first Contacted gate Poly Pitch (CPP) defining a first gate-to-gate space and a second region with adjacent devices exhibiting a second CPP defining a second gate-to-gate space, where adjacent devices exhibiting the first CPP have a smaller gate-to-gate canyon than the adjacent devices exhibiting the second CPP such that the second gate-to-gate space is greater than the first gate-to-gate space.

Abstract: A method of forming a semiconductor structure includes forming fins over a substrate, forming a shallow trench isolation region over the substrate surrounding the fins, and forming nanosheet stacks providing channels for nanosheet field-effect transistors. The method also includes forming a channel protecting liner over a portion of sidewalls and a top surface of a first nanosheet stack formed over a first fin, the channel protecting liner being further formed over a portion of the shallow trench isolation region extending from the sidewalls of the first nanosheet stack toward a second nanosheet stack formed over a second fin. The method further includes forming gate stacks surrounding exposed portions of the nanosheet stacks, forming an asymmetric self-aligned gate isolation structure over the channel protecting liner, and forming a symmetric self-aligned gate isolation structure over a portion of the shallow trench isolation region between a third fin and a fourth fin.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to techniques for providing an novel field effect transistor (FET) architecture that includes a center fin region and one or more vertically stacked nanosheets. In a non-limiting embodiment of the invention, a nanosheet stack is formed over a substrate. The nanosheet stack can include one or more first semiconductor layers and one or more first sacrificial layers. A trench is formed by removing a portion of the one or more first semiconductor layers and the one or more first sacrificial layers. The trench exposes a surface of a bottommost sacrificial layer of the one or more first sacrificial layers. The trench can be filled with one or more second semiconductor layers and one or more second sacrificial layers such that each of the one or more second semiconductor layers is in contact with a sidewall of one of the one or more first semiconductor layers.
