Abstract:
Low resistance field-effect transistors and methods of manufacturing the same are disclosed herein. An example field-effect transistor disclosed herein includes a substrate and a stack above the substrate. The stack includes an insulator and a gate electrode. The example field-effect transistor includes a semiconductor material layer in a cavity in the stack. In the example field-effect transistor, a region of the semiconductor material layer proximate to the insulator is doped with a material of the insulator.
Abstract:
Some embodiments include apparatuses and methods having a memory element included in a non-volatile memory cell, a transistor, an access line coupled to a gate to the transistor, a first conductive line, and a second conductive line. The memory element can include a conductive oxide material located over a substrate and between the first and second conductive lines. The memory element includes a portion coupled to a drain of the transistor and another portion coupled to the second conductive line. The first conductive line is coupled to a source of the transistor and can be located between the access line and the memory element. The access line has a length extending in a first direction and can be located between the substrate and the memory element. The first and second conductive lines have lengths extending in a second direction.

Abstract:
A method of patterning a metal (141, 341, 841) on a vertical sidewall (132, 332, 832) of an excavated feature (130, 330, 830) includes placing a material (350) in the excavated feature such that a portion (435) of the metal is exposed in the excavated feature above the material, etching the exposed portion of the metal away from the vertical sidewall using a first wet etch chemistry, and removing the material from the excavated feature by etching it away using a second wet etch chemistry. The described method may be used to produce a MIM capacitor (800) suitable for an eDRAM device.
