Embodiments disclosed herein include semiconductor devices with Schottky diodes in a back end of line stack. In an embodiment, a semiconductor device comprises a semiconductor layer, where transistor devices are provided in the semiconductor layer, and a back end stack over the semiconductor layer. In an embodiment, a diode is in the back end stack. In an embodiment, the diode comprises a first electrode, a semiconductor region over the first electrode, and a second electrode over the semiconductor region. In an embodiment, a first interface between the first electrode and the semiconductor region is an ohmic contact, and a second interface between the semiconductor region and the second electrode is a Schottky contact.

Compositional engineering of Schottky diode

Described herein are integrated circuit (IC) devices that include devices that include fin-based field-effect transistors (FinFETs) integrated over gate-all-around (GAA) transistors. The GAA transistors may serve to provide high-performance compute logic, and may be relatively low-voltage transistors, while FinFETs may be more suitable than GAA transistors for providing high-voltage transistors, and, therefore, may serve to provide peripheral logic for backend memory arrays implemented over the same support structure over which the GAA transistors and the FinFETs are provided. Such an arrangement may address the fundamental voltage incompatibility by integrating a mix of FinFETs and GAA transistors in stacked complimentary FET (CFET) architecture to enable embedded 1T-1X based memories.

Integrated circuit devices with FinFETs over gate-all-around transistors

Integrated circuit (IC) assemblies with stacked compute logic and memory dies, and associated systems and methods, are disclosed. One example IC assembly includes a compute logic die and a stack of memory dies provided above and coupled to the compute logic die, where one or more of the memory dies closest to the compute logic die include memory cells with transistors that are thin-film transistors (TFTs), while one or more of the memory dies further away from the compute logic die include memory cells with non-TFT transistors. Another example IC assembly includes a similar stack of compute logic die and memory dies where one or more of the memory dies closest to the compute logic die include static random-access memory (SRAM) cells, while one or more of the memory dies further away from the compute logic die include memory cells of other memory types.

AS-T 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.

The BEOL crystalline seed may comprise a first material having a higher melt temperature than a melt material formed over the seed and over the dielectric layer. Through rapid melt growth, the melt material may be heated to a temperature sufficient to transition from an as-deposited state to a more crystalline state that is derived from, and therefore associated with, the BEOL crystalline seed. A BEOL transistor may then be fabricated from the crystallized material.
