In GaN-based High-Electron Mobility Transistors (HEMTs), the carrier transport properties of the 2-Dimensional Electron Gas (2DEG), specifically the saturation velocity (υsat) and effective mobility (μn_eff,), are critical determinants of device performance. To enhance these properties, we conducted structural optimizations, which included reducing the Al mole fraction in the AlxGa1-xN barrier and introducing an AlGaN back barrier. Recognizing the limitations of traditional extraction techniques, we employed transconductance modeling to accurately extract effective mobility and saturation velocity values. The implementation of the AlGaN back barrier resulted in an effective mobility enhancement to 748 cm2/V·s. Additionally, reducing the Al mole fraction in the AlxGa1-xN top barrier led to an effective mobility improvement of 484 cm2/V·s. These findings provide valuable insights into the design of epitaxial structures for AlGaN/GaN HEMTs aimed at achieving superior performance in future applications.
在基于氮化镓的高电子迁移率晶体管(hemt)中,二维电子气体(2DEG)的载流子输运特性,特别是饱和速度(sat)和有效迁移率(μn_eff,)是器件性能的关键决定因素。为了提高这些性能,我们进行了结构优化,包括减少AlxGa1-xN势垒中的Al摩尔分数和引入AlGaN后势垒。认识到传统提取技术的局限性,我们采用跨电导建模来准确提取有效迁移率和饱和速度值。AlGaN后屏障的实施使迁移率有效提高到748 cm2/V·s。此外,降低AlxGa1-xN顶势垒中的Al摩尔分数可使迁移率提高484 cm2/V·s。这些发现为AlGaN/GaN hemt的外延结构设计提供了有价值的见解,旨在在未来的应用中实现卓越的性能。

Dielectric Breakdown, which has been associated with the progressive wear-out of the gate dielectric, has been one of the most detrimental failure mechanisms in CMOS devices. With downscaling, new device architectures and/or materials have been introduced, so, it is necessary to evaluate the BD impact at device (and circuit) level in these new structures. In this work, the dielectric BD and the post-BD behavior in largely scaled FDSOI nanowire transistors with high-k gate dielectric have been characterized, using the energy and the power dissipated by the device under test as key parameters. The experimental results evidence the presence of new detrimental effects for the device’s integrity beyond the traditional dielectric BD.
电介质击穿与栅极电介质的逐渐损耗有关,是CMOS器件中最有害的失效机制之一。随着规模的缩小,新的器件架构和/或材料已经被引入,因此,有必要在这些新结构中评估器件(和电路)级别的BD影响。在这项工作中,以被测器件的能量和功耗为关键参数,对具有高k栅极介电介质的FDSOI纳米线晶体管的介电BD和后BD行为进行了表征。实验结果表明,除了传统的介质BD外,还存在新的对器件完整性的不利影响。

This work studies the threshold voltage mismatch of mesa-isolated SOI pMOSFETs through a breakdown between edge and center contributions. Pelgrom’s law is followed if a proper care is taken in the Vt extraction method. Applied to pMOS devices we observed that despite its parasitic nature, the edge transistor mismatch is as good as that of the center, regardless of channel doping and back-gate bias. Mismatch degradation in reverse back-bias mode is observed and attributed to the presence of floating body effects.
本工作通过边缘和中心贡献击穿研究了台面隔离SOI pmosfet的阈值电压失配。如果在Vt提取方法中采取适当的措施,则遵循Pelgrom定律。应用于pMOS器件,我们观察到尽管其寄生性质,但无论通道掺杂和后门偏置如何,边缘晶体管的失配与中心晶体管的失配一样好。在反向偏置模式下观察到失配退化,并归因于浮体效应的存在。

In this work, we study the silicon-oxide resistive switching memory based on the hydrogen silsesquioxane (HSQ) layer. We fabricated the Al/HSQ/n++ − Si RRAM (Resistive Random Access Memory) devices and performed electrical characterization. Transport mechanisms for different voltage ranges in High Resistance State (HRS) and Low Resistance State (LRS) were identified and analyzed. We show that spin on the silicon oxide layer can result in good resistive switching properties that can be utilized in the design and fabrication of RRAM devices.

As the development of Dirac-Source Field-Effect Transistors (DS-FETs) progresses, there is an increasing need for a robust, flexible, and agile simulation framework capable of evaluating device performance across a range of operating conditions. This work addresses that need by coupling a two-dimensional (2D) Poisson solver with a quantum transport model under the ballistic transport regime. This simulation approach is employed to analyze the electrical characteristics of a DS-FET realized with the heterojunction of graphene and monolayer MoS2. In addition, the impact of gate-to-channel alignment on device performance is systematically investigated. Simulation results underscore the critical role of full gate overlap with the semiconducting region and substantiate the feasibility of DS-FETs based on these two materials.
随着狄拉克源场效应晶体管(ds - fet)的发展,越来越需要一个强大、灵活和敏捷的仿真框架,能够在一系列工作条件下评估器件性能。这项工作通过将二维泊松求解器与弹道输运机制下的量子输运模型耦合来解决这一需求。利用这种仿真方法分析了石墨烯与单层MoS2异质结实现的DS-FET的电特性。此外,系统地研究了栅极-通道对准对器件性能的影响。仿真结果强调了全栅极与半导体区域重叠的关键作用,并证实了基于这两种材料的ds - fet的可行性。

In this study, an innovative solar cell (SC) design is proposed and analyzed using the Sentaurus Technology Computer-Aided Design (TCAD) simulator. Departing from conventional rectangular architecture, a half-circular geometry is introduced to improve light absorption and enhance electrical performance. The simulation framework models the solar cell’s behavior under standard test conditions, incorporating realistic material properties and stratified layer structures. Key electrical performance metrics, Fill Factor (FF), and conversion Efficiency are evaluated. The results demonstrate that the half-circular configuration achieves an energy conversion efficiency of 15.33 %, and an FF of 74.2 %. This work lays the groundwork for future experimental validation and encourages the investigation of alternative geometries to improve photovoltaic device performance further.

Advancing SOI-based transistors with Ge-rich layers aims to increase device performance in terms of on-state operation and switching speed. Here, we investigate multi-heterojunction SiGe-based Schottky barrier FETs with Ge concentrations up to 75% by means of temperature- dependent electrical characterizations to identify the transport regimes and the effective barrier heights with a thermionic-emission-based model. Importantly, incorporating 33% Ge gives the best compromise for n- and p-type on-state symmetry. As the Ge concentration increases, the p-type on-state current becomes dominant, which is interesting for low-power p-type transistors.

In this work, we present Mulhacen, a 3D multi-subband simulator developed for the accurate study of nonplanar devices which are at the core of present and future technology nodes. It allows to consider electrons in different conduction band valleys and, among its main features, we can highlight the accurate evaluation of quantum effects in the plane transverse to transport through the solution of the 2D Schrödinger equation in several device cross sections, as well as Monte Carlo description of transport. The simulator is based on a finite elements discretization, which allows an accurate description of realistic device geometries.

This study investigates the frequency-dependent dielectric properties of ultrathin HfOx-TiOx composite films (HTO) in a metal–oxide–semiconductor (MOS) configuration over a frequency range of 1 kHz to 3 MHz. The films were deposited using a pulsed-DC magnetron sputtering technique in an atomic layer deposition-like manner, incorporating very thin TiOx layers within the bulk of HfOx. Structural analysis revealed that the films are amorphous and exhibit uniform and smooth surfaces. The dielectric constant (ε′) and dielectric loss (ε′′) exhibit a decreasing trend with increasing frequency, demonstrating typical dielectric behavior. Furthermore, the characteristic dielectric relaxation frequency shifts toward lower frequency values with the insertion of TiOx. The Cole-Cole plot confirms the non-Debye relaxation behavior across all samples. Optical spectroscopy analysis reveals a systematic increase in the optical band gap upon more TiOx insertion. Analysis of current–voltage (I-V) characteristics demonstrates low leakage currents across the composite films. Understanding the dielectric parameters and the electrical characteristics is crucial for the potential application of these films in advanced electronic applications.
本研究研究了金属氧化物半导体(MOS)结构中超薄HfOx-TiOx复合薄膜(HTO)在1 kHz至3 MHz频率范围内的频率相关介电特性。薄膜是用脉冲直流磁控溅射技术以类似原子层沉积的方式沉积的,在HfOx的主体内结合了非常薄的TiOx层。结构分析表明,薄膜是无定形的,表面均匀光滑。介电常数(ε’)和介电损耗(ε’)随频率的增加呈减小趋势,表现出典型的介电特性。此外,随着TiOx的加入,特征介电弛豫频率向低频值偏移。Cole-Cole图证实了所有样本的非德拜松弛行为。光谱学分析表明,随着TiOx的加入,光学带隙系统地增加。电流-电压(I-V)特性分析表明,复合薄膜的漏电流较低。了解这些薄膜的介电参数和电学特性对于这些薄膜在先进电子应用中的潜在应用至关重要。
