SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for patent application number 18097675 Titled 'SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE'
Simplified Explanation
This abstract describes a semiconductor device that includes a substrate with a cell array region. On this region, there is a data storage structure consisting of a bottom electrode, a top electrode, and a dielectric layer between them. A blocking layer is placed on top of the top electrode, followed by a lower interlayer insulating layer. The device also includes a lower contact that penetrates the lower interlayer insulating layer and is connected to the top electrode. Importantly, a portion of the lower contact makes contact with the blocking layer.
Original Abstract Submitted
A semiconductor device may include a substrate including a cell array region, a data storage structure provided on the cell array region of the substrate, the data storage structure including a bottom electrode, a top electrode on the bottom electrode, and a dielectric layer interposed between the bottom electrode and the top electrode, a blocking layer provided on a top surface of the top electrode, a lower interlayer insulating layer provided on the blocking layer, and a lower contact penetrating the lower interlayer insulating layer and electrically connected to the top electrode. At least a portion of a side surface of the lower contact may contact the blocking layer.
