METHOD OF DEPOSITING LAYERS
Embodiments disclosed herein generally relate to methods of depositing a plurality of layers. A doped copper seed layer is deposited in a plurality of feature definitions in a device structure. A first copper seed layer is deposited and then the first copper seed layer is doped to form a doped copper seed layer, or a doped copper seed layer is deposited directly. The doped copper seed layer leads to increased flowability, reducing poor step coverage, overhang, and voids in the copper layer.
Integrated assemblies and methods of forming integrated assemblies
Some embodiments include an integrated assembly with a semiconductor channel material having a boundary region where a more-heavily-doped region interfaces with a less-heavily-doped region. The more-heavily-doped region and the less-heavily-doped region have the same majority carriers. The integrated assembly includes a gating structure adjacent the semiconductor channel material and having a gating region and an interconnecting region of a common and continuous material. The gating region has a length extending along a segment of the more-heavily-doped region, a segment of the less-heavily-doped region, and the boundary region. The interconnecting region extends laterally outward from the gating region on a side opposite the semiconductor channel region, and is narrower than the length of the gating region. Some embodiments include methods of forming integrated assemblies.

ETCH METHOD FOR INTERCONNECT STRUCTURE
A method for making a middle-of-line interconnect structure in a semiconductor device includes forming, near a surface of a first interconnect structure comprised of a first metal, a region of varied composition including the first metal and a second element. The method further includes forming a recess within the region of varied composition. The recess laterally extends a first distance along the surface and vertically extends a second distance below the first surface. The method further includes filling the recess with a second metal to form a second interconnect structure that contacts the first interconnect structure.
Vacuum channel transistor structures with sub-10 nanometer nanogaps and layered metal electrodes
A technique relates to a semiconductor device. An emitter electrode and a collector electrode are formed in a dielectric layer such that a nanogap separates the emitter electrode and the collector electrode, a portion of the emitter electrode including layers. A channel is formed in the dielectric layer so as to traverse the nanogap. A top layer is formed over the channel so as to cover the channel and the nanogap without filling in the channel and the nanogap, thereby forming a vacuum channel transistor structure.
