    Abstract: Integrated circuits including vertical diodes. In an example, a first transistor is above a second transistor. The first transistor includes a first semiconductor body extending laterally from a first source or drain region. The first source or drain region includes one of a p-type dopant or an n-type dopant. The second transistor includes a second semiconductor body extending laterally from a second source or drain region. The second source or drain region includes the other of the p-type dopant or the n-type dopant. The first source or drain region and second source or drain region are at least part of a diode structure, which may have a PN junction (e.g., first and second source/drain regions are merged) or a PIN junction (e.g., first and second source/drain regions are separated by an intrinsic semiconductor layer, or a dielectric layer and the first and second semiconductor bodies are part of the junction).

    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for fabricating a self-aligned spin-transfer torque memory (STTM) device with a dot-contacted free magnetic layer. In some embodiments, the disclosed STTM device includes a first dielectric spacer covering sidewalls of an electrically conductive hardmask layer that is patterned to provide an electronic contact for the STTM's free magnetic layer. The hardmask contact can be narrower than the free magnetic layer. The first dielectric spacer can be utilized in patterning the STTM's fixed magnetic layer. In some embodiments, the STTM further includes an optional second dielectric spacer covering sidewalls of its free magnetic layer. The second dielectric spacer can be utilized in patterning the STTM's fixed magnetic layer and may serve, at least in part, to protect the sidewalls of the free magnetic layer from redepositing of etch byproducts during such patterning, thereby preventing electrical shorting between the fixed magnetic layer and the free magnetic layer.
