We have evaluated multiple-input NAND circuits using polycrystalline silicon thin-film transistors and found that the output pulse became degraded for the 3-input NAND circuit. Moreover, we have fabricated a set-reset flip-flop (SR-FF) circuit using the 2-input NAND circuits and confirmed that the SR-FF circuit operated correctly.

This paper focuses on the analyses of output stability of Single-Phase-Matrix-Converter (SPMC) type AC-AC converter for power management in the IT system. The SPMC employing power MOS devices is studied to contribute to the efficiency improvement and stabilization of AC-DC power supply circuit in IT systems. In detail, the output voltage dependency of SPMC is evaluated with triangular wave control signal with the amplitude range from 5V to 20V and the frequency range from 1kHz to 2MHz.

We analyze the correlation between BTI (Bias Temperature Instability)-induced degradations and process variations. BTI shows a strong effect on highly scaled LSIs in the same way as the process variations. It is necessary to predict the combinational effects. We should analyze both aging-degradations and process variations of MOSFETs to explain the correlation. We measure initial frequencies and the aging-degradations of ROs (ring oscillators) of 65-nm process test circuits. The initial frequencies of ROs follow gaussian distributions. The degradations can be approximated by logarithmic function of stress time. The degradation at the “fast” condition of the variations has a higher impact on the frequency than the “slow” one. The correlation coefficient is 0.338. In this case, we can reduce the design margin for BTI-induced degradations because the degradation at the “slow” conditon on the variations is smaller than the average.

We have developed maximum and minimum voltage sample and hold circuits employing operational amplifiers (OPAMPs) composed of polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si) thin-film transistors (TFTs). It was confirmed that the maximum and minimum voltages are successfully sampled and held. It was also confirmed that the restoring ratio has a peak near a certain value of the operation frequency. We would like you to propose novel applications using these circuits.

Wafer level adhesive bonding has been applied for the fabrication of micro systems which have heterogeneous components on LSI. Devices formed on a carrier wafer are transferred on a LSI wafer, which makes versatile heterogeneous integration possible. This has been applied to resonator, piezoelectric switch, tactile sensor, electron source and other value-added devices.

This paper proposes the estimation method of the threshold voltage (Vth) of the transistor from the frequency of the ring oscillator (RO) without analog measurement. Two distributions of delays, in which the contour lines are nearly orthogonal with each other, are derived from the measured frequencies of three kinds of ROs. The Vth can easily be calculated from the two distributions by fitting to the quadratic function and using the `goal-seek' function of Excel. The accuracy of the calculated Vth is evaluated for various conditions. By optimizing the condition and dividing the fitting range, the error decreases down to 5mv which is sufficient for an accurate estimation.

We have demonstrated effective electron Schottky barrier height (eSBH) reduction of NiGe/Ge contacts using phosphorus ion implantation after germanidation. The eSBH was drastically reduced from 0.62 eV to 0.09 eV under optimum implantation and subsequent annealing conditions. Moreover, systematic studies of NiGe/Ge contacts with various P ion profiles indicated the variation in the eSBH at NiGe/Ge interface. This method allows us to design and control junction characteristics for future Ge-based devices.
