CAPACITOR, MEMORY DEVICE, AND METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18352738 titled 'CAPACITOR, MEMORY DEVICE, AND METHOD

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a device that includes a substrate, with two nanostructures placed on top of it.

  • The first nanostructure is made of a semiconductor material and has a higher resistance.
  • The second nanostructure is made of a conductor material and has a lower resistance.

Both nanostructures are positioned at the same height above the substrate but are laterally offset from each other.

  • The first nanostructure is surrounded by a first gate structure, while the second nanostructure is surrounded by a second gate structure.


Original Abstract Submitted

A device includes a substrate. A first nanostructure is over the substrate, and includes a semiconductor having a first resistance. A second nanostructure is over the substrate, is offset laterally from the first nanostructure, is at about the same height above the substrate as the first nanostructure, and includes a conductor having a second resistance lower than the first resistance. A first gate structure is over and wrapped around the first nanostructure, and a second gate structure is over and wrapped around the second nanostructure.
