This paper describes an investigation of thickness scaling of sol gel-derived ferroelectric lead zirconate titanate (PZT) thin films that demonstrates the highest charge storage capacity (220 fC/ mu m/sup 2/ for a 1.5 V voltage swing) ever reported, low leakage current density (<10-7 A/cm/sup 2/ at 0.75 V for V/sub DD//2 operation), and good dielectric integrity. V/sub DD//2 operation is also shown to be viable with these ferroelectric films since no fatigue is observed after 10/sup 11/ polarization reversals. These PZT films hold promise as an alternative to the conventional trench and stacked capacitor cell technologies employing SiO/sub 2//Si/sub 3/N/sub 4/ dielectrics which demand extremely severe geometries and exceedingly complex processes to meet the charge storage specifications of gigabit-scale DRAM's.<>

A new buried channel PMOSFET structure by forming P+ poly-Si sidewall spacers next to the main N+ poly-Si gate electrode is proposed and developed for deep submicron applications. By using this new device structure, the current drivability of a 0.3 mu m PMOSFET is increased by about 40%. This significant increase in current drivability can be attributed to the parasitic resistance reduction due to the formation of P-type inversion layers under the two P+ poly-Si sidewall spacers. Because of the work function difference between the N+ poly-Si gate electrode and the P+ poly-Si spacers, the Si surface under the P+ poly-Si spacers is always more inverted than the channel. As a result, the parasitic resistance is always much lower than the channel resistance. Furthermore, those induced inversion layers act as ultra shallow junctions (>

Silicon on Insulator technology is promising for high voltage power IC applications. The required SOI layer thickness can be reduced if a large portion of the applied voltage is sustained by the bottom insulator layer. Combination of SOI and trenches or LOCOS has merits of simplified device isolation and high device packing density. Thin SOI layer will realize high-speed switching in high voltage devices because of the smaller amount of stored carriers. Substrate bias influences on device characteristics and potentials of SOI technology are discussed.<>

The carrier transport properties under high field have been studied in Si MOSFETs experimentally from the following two points of view; velocity saturation and impact ionization. The electron and hole velocities in the inversion-layer were measured as a function of tangential electric field using high-resistive gate MOSFETs. It has been found that the saturation velocity is dependent on the surface carrier concentration. The impact ionization rate was studied as a parameter of the length of the pinch-off region in MOSFETs. The suppression of the ionization rate and the enhancement of anisotropic impact ionization have been simultaneously observed at 81 K in the MOSFETs with the shorter length of pinch-off region. The non-stationary transport of hot carriers in the pinch-off region is responsible for these phenomena.<>

This paper describes the design and architecture of a neural network having a hardware-learning capability, in which a functional transistor called neuron MOSFET (neuMOS or vMOS) is utilized as a key element. In order to implement learning algorithm on the chip, a new hardware-oriented backpropagation learning algorithm has been developed by modifying and simplifying the original backpropagation algorithm. In addition, a six-transistor synapse cell which is free from standby power dissipation and is capable of representing both positive and negative weights (excitatory and inhibitory synapse functions) under a single 5 V power supply has been developed for use on a self-learning chip.<>

The behavior of electron emission from pyramid-shaped silicon field emitters has been studied by direct imaging of electron emission as well as by emission current-voltage measurement. Oxide covered silicon emitter surfaces have resulted in structureless emission patterns. The electron emitting angle is found to vary significantly with the extraction voltage or the emission current. Experimental measurement and analysis of emission images under moderate operating conditions showed that resulted final emitting angles are under 13 degrees while initial electron emitting angles from the emitter could be as high as 18 degrees .<>

We report the first clear observation of the onset of impact ionization at 0.6V and 0.8V in O.1 mu m Si devices operating at 170K and 300K, respectively. These onset voltages were directly extracted from experimental bell-shaped substrate currents constituting clear evidence of impact ionization below the band gap of silicon. At low temperatures we observe simultaneous reductions in the threshold voltage for impact ionization, and the impact ionization current. These results suggest the operation of possible new mechanisms in addition to the usual carrier/carrier and carrier/optical phonon interactions.<>

The degradation of polysilicon thin film transistors was investigated under DC stress. There was a strong relationship between increase of threshold voltage and power consumption under stressing. The channel was found to reach high temperature by Joule heat because of poor thermal conductivity of the quartz substrate. It is shown that this temperature rise accelerates the degradation caused by gate stress.<>
