The International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors predicts the need for ultra low-k dielectric materials combined with very thin barriers on the order of 5 nm total thickness for the use in high performance logic integrated circuits in future technology generations. Some progress has been reported recently regarding the integration of copper with new, relatively weak, ultra low-k materials and the development of new ultra-thin CVD barriers. However there is still considerable concern about the interaction between porous low-k materials and CVD barriers, especially diffusion of CVD precursors into the pores of the low-k material and subsequent metal deposition inside the low-k material. This paper describes the integration of a new CVD barrier with a porous ultra low-k material. First results are discussed for integration into both single and dual damascene structures.

Current status and prospects of ferroelectric random access memories (FeRAMs) are reviewed. First, novel ferroelectric materials, which are suitable for both low temperature crystallization and low voltage operation are introduced. Then, various cell structures in FeRAMs are discussed, in which particular attention is paid to non-destructive-readout-type cells such as a 1T-type cell composed of a single ferroelectric-gate FET. Finally, a novel 1T2C-type non-destructive-readout cell with good data retention characteristic is introduced and its basic operation is presented.

Electrostatically actuated MEMS mirror devices are finding increasing use in the field of optical communications and displays. In addition to the static displacement-voltage characteristics, accurate transient characterization of these devices is becoming increasingly important. The latter is strongly affected by viscous damping of the surrounding air. A complete analysis of the dynamic behavior should consist of coupled transient simulations including electrostatics, stress, deformation, and air fluidics. Direct numerical dynamic simulation based on fully-meshed structures is computationally very expensive. In order to perform efficient design prediction and optimization, designers need dynamically accurate macromodels for these devices. Such models need to reduce the computation cost without compromising accuracy. In this paper, we present techniques to develop such macromodels.

A simplified fabrication process for sub-20 nm CMOS double-gate FinFETs is reported. It is a more manufacturable process and has less overlap capacitance compared to the previous FinFET (1999, 2000). Two different patterning approaches-e-beam lithography and spacer lithography-are developed. Selective Ge by LPCVD is utilized to fabricate raised S/D structures which minimize parasitic series resistance and improve drive current.

The electrical interfacing of nerve cells and semiconductor microstructures is considered. The coupling of electron conducting silicon with ion conducting neurons relies on a close contact of the chip and the cell membrane with its ion channels. Excitation of neuronal activity is achieved by capacitive interaction with the channels and recording by the response of transistors to open channels. Integrated neuroelectronic systems are obtained by outgrowth of a neuronal net on silicon and by two-way interfacing of the neuronal and electronic components.

Detailed physical analysis is of paramount importance to understand the exact mechanisms of failures or degradation in devices, especially as dimensions are shrinking in nanometer scale. This paper describes the physical analysis of soft and hard breakdown failures of thin gate oxides to establish a link to the electrical failure signatures. The progression of changes happening in sub-nanometer levels during device degradation is illustrated using high-resolution transmission electron microscopic analysis.

A MEMS-based programmable diffraction grating has been developed that can generate arbitrary spatial grating profiles on a sub-millisecond time scale. Such profiles redirect wavelengths in a polychromatic light beam. These devices can synthesize the spectra of molecules and manipulate signals in a wavelength-division-multiplexed optical telecommunications system.

A 512/spl times/512-element, multi-frame charge-coupled device (CCD) has been developed for collecting four sequential image frames at megahertz rates. To operate at fast frame rates with high sensitivity, the imager uses an electronic shutter technology developed for back-illuminated CCDs. The megahertz frame rates also required metal strapping of the polysilicon gate electrodes. Tested imagers have demonstrated multi-frame capture capability.
