A statistical evaluation of the absolute and matching tolerances of the resonance frequencies of surface-micromachined micromechanical 1-port disk resonators is conducted by fabricating and measuring a large quantity (>100) of devices in both polysilicon and nanocrystalline diamond structural materials. Through this analysis, respective average resonance frequency absolute and matching tolerances of 450 ppm and 343 ppm for polysilicon, and 756 ppm and 392 ppm for diamond, have been demonstrated on a measured set of 6 dies on 4-inch wafers fabricated using university facilities. The measured matching tolerance is sufficient to allow implementation of RF pre-select or image-reject filters for wireless communications with a confidence interval better than 99.7% over tested dies without the need for frequency trimming

Epitaxial strained Si and Ge n- and p-MOSFETs with a TiN/HfO2 gate stack were fabricated with the same process for a dual channel integration scheme. Compared to the HfO2/Si reference, X1.7 strained Si electron and X9 strained Ge hole mobility gains are demonstrated, achieving symmetric n- and p-MOSFET IDsat performance. This X9 strained Ge hole mobility enhancement highly exceeds previous reported results on Ge pMOSFETs with high-k dielectrics. For the first time, such a hole mobility enhancement, theoretically predicted and experimentally reported with thick SiO2 gate dielectrics, is demonstrated with a thin high-k gate dielectric (EOT=14Aring)

Dominant scattering mechanisms for both electrons and holes in HfSiON MISFET were examined systematically by using the newly developed pulse measurement technique. Mobility determining factors for electrons and holes in various effective field (Eeff) regions were identified. In addition, the influence of two elements of Hf and N on the mobility in the operational Eeff region was investigated and guidelines for improving performance of HfSiON-CMOS devices were presented

We performed 3D Monte Carlo simulations of SOI NAND nanocrystal memories investigating the scaling constraints due to both program failure and reliability concerns. We show that the NC density should be optimized as a trade-off between number fluctuation and SILC immunity and that proper optimization is needed in order to meet the 45 nm ITRS node requirements

An optimized 4-way stress integration on partially-depleted SOI (PD-SOI) CMOS is presented. An embedded-SiGe process and a compressive-stressed liner film are used to induce compressive strain in the PMOS (PMOS "stressors"). A stress memorization process and a tensile-stressed liner film are used to induce tensile strain in the NMOS (NMOS "stressors"). With optimization, the different stress techniques are highly compatible and additive to each other, improving PMOS and NMOS saturation drive current by 53% and 32%, respectively. This improvement results in 40% higher product speed. To demonstrate the extendibility for future transistor nodes the stress improvements were increased further resulting in record PMOS performance of IDSAT=860muA/mum at 200nA IOFF (self-heating corrected) and 1V. The stress techniques are proven in AMD's 90nm manufacturing processes, and have been scaled for use in 65nm manufacturing

In this work, we investigate the expected device performance and the scaling perspectives of carbon nanotube field effect transistors (CNT-FETs), with doped source and drain extensions, by means of a novel three-dimensional NEGF-based simulation tool capable of considering arbitrary gate geometry and device architecture. In particular, we have investigated short channel effects for different gate configurations and geometry parameters. Double gate devices offer quasi ideal subthreshold slope and DIBL also with not extremely thin gate dielectrics. In addition, we show that devices with parallel CNTs can provide On currents per unit width significantly larger than their silicon counterpart, and that high-frequency performance is very promising

Nanocrystalline silicon (nc-Si) thin film transistors (TFTs) were fabricated using ICP-CVD at 150degC. The fabricated nc-Si TFT exhibits high field effect mobility exceeding 22cm2/Vs and a low sub-threshold slope of 0.45V/dec. The nc-Si film deposited 150degC as an active layer of the TFT shows good crystallinity more than 70% and the gate insulator SiO2 film deposited by ICP-CVD at 150degC shows good electrical characteristics such as flat band voltage of -1.8V and breakdown voltage of 6.2MV/cm

Here we present an experimental and theoretical analysis of dual-bit DT-NVMs. In particular data retention experiments on bulk and SOI silicon nanocrystal memory devices and their interpretation through a surface potential based model are shown (Perniola et al., 2005). Our model is then exploited to investigate the main issues posed by dual-bit reading, when the dimensions of bulk and SOI devices are scaled down. We present two different reading schemes for a scaled device and we show that dual-bit performance of DT-NVMs, charged on both sides, is preserved even when the two pockets of charge coalesce. Finally, we conclude that both bulk and SOI dual-bit architectures are promising for memory cells with gate lengths down to 30-50 nm

We propose and fabricate highly efficient current scaling AMOLED panel employing excimer laser annealed poly-Si TFTs, which successfully compensate the non-uniformity of IOLED due to the grain boundaries and residual image caused by a hysteresis phenomenon in poly-Si TFT. The proposed 2.4 inch panel employing a new current mirror pixel circuit successfully reduces a nonuniformity of the luminance from 41% to 9.1%, and eliminates residual image, compared with conventional 2-TFT pixel array. The proposed pixel circuit can also increase the data current by 57% and decrease the pixel charging time by 21%, compared with a traditional current mirror pixel
