Embodiments disclosed herein include a semiconductor device and methods of forming such a device. In an embodiment, the semiconductor device comprises a substrate and a transistor on the substrate. In an embodiment, the transistor comprises a first gate electrode, where the first gate electrode is part of a first array of gate electrodes with a first pitch. In an embodiment, the first gate electrode has a first average grain size. In an embodiment, the semiconductor device further comprises a component cell on the substrate. In an embodiment, the component cell comprises a second gate electrode, where the second gate electrode is part of a second array of gate electrodes with a second pitch that is larger than the first pitch. In an embodiment, the second gate electrode has a second average grain size that is larger than the first average grain size.

Self-aligned front-end charge trap flash memory cell and capacitor design for integrated high-density scaled devices

Gate-all-around integrated circuit structures having molybdenum nitride metal gates and gate dielectrics with a dipole layer are described. For example, an integrated circuit structure includes a first vertical arrangement of horizontal nanowires, and a second vertical arrangement of horizontal nanowires. A first gate stack is over the first vertical arrangement of horizontal nanowires, the first gate stack having a P-type conductive layer on a first gate dielectric. The P-type conductive layer includes molybdenum and nitrogen. A second gate stack is over the second vertical arrangement of horizontal nanowires, the second gate stack having an N-type conductive layer on a second gate dielectric.

Fabrication of gate-all-around integrated circuit structures having molybdenum nitride metal gates and gate dielectrics with a dipole layer

Disclosed herein are structures, methods, and assemblies related to metallization in integrated circuit (IC) structures. For example, in some embodiments, an IC structure may include a first nanowire in a metal region and a second nanowire in the metal region. A distance between the first nanowire and the second nanowire may be less than 5 nanometers, and the metal region may include tungsten between the first nanowire and the second nanowire.
