    Abstract: Memory cells with non-planar memory materials that include FE or AFE materials are described. An example memory cell includes a transistor provided over a support structure, where a memory material is integrated with a transistor gate. The channel material and the memory material are non-planar in that each includes a horizontal portion substantially parallel to the support structure, and a first and a second sidewall portions, each of which is substantially perpendicular to the support structure, where the horizontal portion of the memory material is between the horizontal portion of the channel material and a gate electrode material of the transistor gate, the first sidewall of the memory material is between the first sidewall of the channel material and the gate electrode material, and the second sidewall of the memory material is between the second sidewall of the channel material and the gate electrode material.

    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for deuterium-based passivation of non-planar transistor interfaces. In some cases, the techniques can include annealing an integrated circuit structure including the transistor in a range of temperatures, pressures, and times in an atmosphere that includes deuterium. In some instances, the anneal process may be performed at pressures of up to 50 atmospheres to increase the amount of deuterium that penetrates the integrated circuit structure and reaches the interfaces to be passivated. Interfaces to be passivated may include, for example, an interface between the transistor conductive channel and bordering transistor gate dielectric and/or an interface between sub-channel semiconductor and bordering shallow trench isolation oxides. Such interfaces are common locations of trap sites that may include impurities, incomplete bonds dangling bonds, and broken bonds, for example, and thus such interfaces can benefit from deuterium-based passivation to improve the performance and reliability of the transistor.

    Abstract: A 1S-1T ferroelectric memory cell is provided that include a transistor and a two-terminal selector device. The transistor exhibits a low conductive state and a high conductive state (channel resistance), depending on drive voltage. The two-terminal selector device exhibits one of an ON-state and an OFF-state depending upon whether the transistor is in its low conductive state or its high conductive state. The transistor may be, for instance, a ferroelectric gate vertical transistor. Modulation of a polarization state of ferroelectric material of the vertical transistor may be utilized to switch the state of the selector device. The memory cell may thus selectively be operated in one of an ON-state and an OFF-state depending upon whether the selector device is in its ON-state or OFF-state.
