“As DRAM technology nodes move into the sub-10 nm regime, capacitor scaling is increasingly constrained by both footprint loss and a hard physical thickness limit for the entire ...

Chipworks, the nice reverse engineering people from Canada, have an analysis blog on their site looking at how DRAM capacitors are made. The snappy headline So you thought DRAM capacitors are made of ...

Imec of Leuven, Belgium, which does R&D for all the major DRAM makers, has shown the way forward for scaling capacitors in DRAMs. A finding by Imec researchers allows the stored charge to be increased ...

Every now and then you need to make your own capacitor. That includes choosing a dielectric for it, the insulating material that goes between the plates. One dielectric material that I use a lot is ...

LONDON — Belgian research organization IMEC has extended its work on 32-nm CMOS device scaling to include a project on DRAM MIMCAP (metal-insulator-metal capacitors) process technology. The group says ...

TOKYO — Toshiba Corp. said it is leveraging its deep-trench-capacitor DRAM structure, which it has championed as a process driver since the 0.25-micron generation, to migrate its system-on-chip ...

New materials engineering solutions from Applied Materials help improve DRAM performance by 30%, power by 15% and area by 20%. SANTA CLARA, Calif., May 05, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Applied Materials, ...

A key component of capacitors — devices that store electrical charges (like batteries) — is the dielectric material. These are a class of electrical insulators that can store electrical charges in the ...

• Ferroelectric–Nonferroelectric Transition: When the capacitor size is reduced to 3.85 μm, ferroelectricity vanishes and an ultrahigh dielectric permittivity of 1466 emerges, without requiring ...
