Four-level random-telegraph-noise (RTN) characteristics of a gate-all-around (GAA) poly-Si junctionless (JL) nanowire (NW) transistor induced by two discrete traps are studied in this work. By carefully analyzing the RTN, depths of the two traps in the gate oxide can be identified separately. Consistent information is obtained by assessing the probability of transitions between different levels.

The brain identifies potentially salient features within continuous information streams, but the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. I will show two biologically inspired neural network models that perform such analyses. The seemingly different models suggest a common principle, which we term self-consistent mismatch detection, for temporal feature analyses. A network of two-compartment neuron model implementing this principle conducts a surprisingly wide variety of temporal feature analysis. The model is also potentially useful in neural engineering.

In this paper, we analyzed lateral migration (LM) mechanism of V-NAND occurring during retention operation depending on scaling of geometric parameters using TCAD simulation. Modeling for LM was performed and the behavior of time-constant (τ) parameter used for modeling was analyzed. In addition, we analyzed retention characteristics according to the states of neighbor word line (WLNei.). Comparing the extracted τ for different patterns, checker-board pattern (C/P) has the smallest τ, followed by NPN and solid pattern (S/P).

In this study, we propose new single-electron circuits mimicking the behavior of a fish shoal for aiming to design the single-electron information-processing circuit to which the information processing method of multi-agent systems is applied. We here use single-electron oscillator circuits as main components. The outputs from the two-dimensional arrayed single-electron oscillators shows fish-swimming-like behavior, we confirmed by computer simulation. As a next step, we designed an additional circuit that can express how fishes swim while avoiding collisions. This function is a very important factor to mimic the behavior. Then, we confirmed its operation.

We use fast gate-voltage pulses and multiplexed RF-reflectometry charge sensing to coherently manipulate and read out multiple singlet-triplet spin qubits, within a 2D array of 12 gate-defined quantum dots in GaAs. By measuring the qubits’ responses to precise timing changes of control pulses generated at room temperature, we characterize in situ the synchronization of control pulses with sub-ns resolution. These techniques are useful for calibrating the effective delay in cryogenic transmission lines for silicon quantum processors.

In this work, we have confirmed that dependent reset switching phenomenon of SiNx/SiO2 RRAM is dependent on stop voltage (VSTOP) in both DC and pulse operation. In addition, it was confirmed that improved gradual resistance change can be obtained by adjusting the amplitude of the applied reset pulse. By process simulation and empirical modeling of resistance change of the device, it is confirmed that the voltage distribution can be controlled only in the reset operation, resulting in more linear and gradual resistance change phenomenon even though same reset pulse is used.

In this work, impacts of remote Coulomb scattering on hole mobility in Si p-MOSFETs devices at cryogenic temperatures are investigated. The physical models including phonon, surface roughness (SR) and remote Coulomb scatterings (RCS) are verified by reproducing fairly well the experimental results for temperature ranging from 300 to 30K, which are reliably employed to predict the hole mobility down to liquid helium temperatures (4.2K). Simulation results reveal that as temperature decreases, the RCS due to Si/SiO2 interfacial trap charges plays an important role in determining hole mobility. Dependence of hole mobility on interfacial trap density is further explored at 4.2K.

This paper provided a photosensitive performance evaluation of UTBB MOSFET with different structures. The UTBB MOSFET can achieve photosensitive function by integrating a doping well or photodiode under the BOX. With doping well under the BOX, the UTBB MOSFET is more sensitive to light. On the other hand, the saturation exposure time of UTBB with photodiode is longer.

This paper proposes Less Reliable Page Error Reduction (LRPER) to achieve both high reliability and small data overhead of 3D-TLC NAND flash memories. LRPER suppresses both lateral charge migration and vertical charge de-trap without redundant reading of memory cells, thus achieving fast write. In addition, data overhead is small by adding flag bits to the highly reliable page. As a result, the data-retention lifetime increases by 5.0-times. The proposal can be implemented in the SSD controller for highly reliable 3D-NAND flash.
