MICROELECTRONIC DEVICES COMPRISING A BORON-CONTAINING MATERIAL, AND RELATED ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS AND METHODS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18324084 titled 'MICROELECTRONIC DEVICES COMPRISING A BORON-CONTAINING MATERIAL, AND RELATED ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS AND METHODS
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a microelectronic device that includes a stack structure, a memory pillar, and a boron-containing material. The stack structure consists of alternating conductive structures and dielectric structures. The memory pillar extends through the stack structure and creates memory cells where it intersects with the conductive structures. The boron-containing material is present on at least a portion of the conductive structures.
- The microelectronic device has a stack structure with alternating conductive and dielectric structures.
- A memory pillar is present, extending through the stack structure.
- Memory cells are formed at the intersections of the memory pillar and the conductive structures.
- The conductive structures of the stack structure are coated with a boron-containing material.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Memory devices in microelectronics
- Integrated circuits
- Semiconductor devices
Problems solved by this technology:
- Enhances the performance and functionality of memory devices
- Improves the reliability and durability of microelectronic devices
Benefits of this technology:
- Increased memory capacity and speed
