Semiconductor structures and methods for crystalline junctionless transistors used in nonvolatile memory arrays are introduced. Various embodiments in accordance with this disclosure provide a method of fabricating a monolithic 3D cross-bar nonvolatile memory array with low thermal budget. The method incorporates crystalline junctionless transistors into nonvolatile memory structures by transferring a layer of doped crystalline semiconductor material from a seed wafer to form the source, drain, and connecting channel of the junctionless transistor.

Described is a packaging technology to improve performance of an AI processing system. An IC package is provided which comprises: a substrate; a first die on the substrate, and a second die stacked over the first die. The first die includes memory and the second die includes computational logic. The first die comprises a ferroelectric RAM (FeRAM) having bit-cells. Each bit-cell comprises an access transistor and a capacitor including ferroelectric material. The access transistor is coupled to the ferroelectric material. The FeRAM can be FeDRAM or FeSRAM. The memory of the first die may store input data and weight factors. The computational logic of the second die is coupled to the memory of the first die. The second die is an inference die that applies fixed weights for a trained model to an input data to generate an output. In one example, the second die is a training die that enables learning of the weights.

A second non-ferroelectric transistor includes a third transistor gate adjacent a third region of the semiconductor structure. The third region of the semiconductor structure is between the first region of the semiconductor structure and the second wiring.

Methods, systems, and devices for thin film transistor deck selection in a memory device are described. A memory device may include memory arrays arranged in a stack of decks formed over a substrate, and deck selection components distributed among the layers to leverage common substrate-based circuitry. For example, each memory array of the stack may include a set of digit lines of a corresponding deck, and deck selection circuitry operable to couple the set of digit lines with a column decoder that is shared among multiple decks. To access memory cells of a selected memory array on one deck, the deck selection circuitry corresponding to the memory array may each be activated, while the deck selection circuitry corresponding to a non-selected memory array on another deck may be deactivated. The deck selection circuitry, such as transistors, may leverage thin-film manufacturing techniques, such as various techniques for forming vertical transistors.
