In this paper, the authors designed a 1.3mum VCSEL with Sb-based DBR technology and demonstrated its first CW operation. It has achieved record-high CW differential efficiencies. High speed modulation was also demonstrated for the first time with this technology. Coupled with previous results at 1.55mum, these results clearly demonstrate this platform's ability to generate high-performance monolithic VCSELs spanning the entire 1.3-1.6mum wavelength window

In this work, for the first time, a comprehensive study of mobility, sub-threshold slope and off-state leakage current in high Ge content dual-channel strained Si/strained Si1-yGe on relaxed Si1-xGex p-MOSFETs is presented. Hole mobility enhancements of 3X are observed at high inversion charge densities (N inv=1013 cm-2) for the strained Si0.3Ge0.7 on relaxed Si0.7Ge0.3 (70/30) structure with 2 nm-thick cap, and 3 nm-thick gate oxide. A wide range of Ge fractions and Si cap thicknesses are studied. The mobility enhancement is dominated by the Ge fraction in the strained Si 1-yGey layer, while the level of strain is a second order effect. The off-state drain leakage is studied in detail. At low drain-to-gate bias (VDG), off-state leakage is attributed to a trap assisted tunneling (TAT) mechanism at the Si surface, and is sensitive to Si cap layer thickness. At high VDG the leakage increases with the Ge fraction in the strained Si1-yGey and strain in the Si cap layer, consistent with band-to-band tunneling (BTBT). The data illustrates trade-offs critical to optimizing the structures with respect to mobility, charge control, and leakage

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are promising candidates for post-Si nanoelectronics (Avouris et al., 2003). They are particularly attractive for high-speed applications due to their ballistic properties and high Fermi velocity (~106 m/s) Liang et al., 2001. The small-signal switching speed of a transistor is determined by the intrinsic delay time tau = 2piCG/gm, where C G is the gate capacitance and gm=dId/dV gs is the transconductance. For carbon nanotube field-effect transistors (CNFETs), the highest gm reported so far is ~ 27 muS by Javey et al. (Javey et al., 2004) using a dielectric film of 8-nm HfO2 (K=15). In their CNFET, the gate capacitance per unit length is estimated to be CG/L=1.8times10-16 F/mum, resulting in a gate delay per unit length of dL=42 ps/mum. Here we present a high-performance CNFET with a delay time per unit length of dL=22 ps/mum, the smallest value reported for CNFETs to date. In order to further minimize the parasitic capacitances and lower the intrinsic gate capacitance, we utilize a dual-gate design and fabricate a 40-nm gate CNFET possessing excellent subthreshold and output characteristics, which is the shortest gate length for a well-tempered CNFET demonstrated so far

Hafnium and hafnium based oxide materials seems most promising gate material for aggressively scaled device. However, the mobility degradation of Hf-base gate dielectric is one of the most difficult problems. Recently, we have reported a significant improvement in interface characteristics, device drive current and maximum transconductance (Gm) by employing high pressure (HP) deuterium annealing at relatively low temperature. However reliability characteristics are not much improved compared with forming gas annealed sample. This might be due to the presence of excess deuterium in the oxide. In this presentation, we report the effect of two step anneal process and its effect on reliability and performance

We have investigated hierarchical capped channels that provide 3D microtubule confinement (Huang et al., 2004). We describe here a simplified polymethymethacrylate bonded (PMMA) 3D hierarchical channel process. This process provides shallow motor microchannels (4-6 mum wide and 1.5 mum deep) and deeper structures (~250 mum deep) for fluid input and output and allow simple electrode integration

In this paper, the authors propose a spin-photodiode (spin-PD) that can convert directly the magnitude of circular polarization of incident light into an electric analog signal. This novel device makes it possible to simplify the optical system based on circularly polarized light, such as the optical-chirality detection for organic compounds and stress detection in the solid objects. We show experimentally the device characteristics of III-V-based spin-PD, and discuss that the spin-PD operates as we expected from the model calculations

Nonvolatile memories with heterogeneous-stack floating gate of metal nanocrystals and silicon nitride (Si3N4) have been fabricated and characterized. The heterogeneous gate stacks showed superior characteristics in retention and low voltage write/erase over single metal nanocrystal memories and/or nitride memories (i.e., MONOS or SONOS). The metal nanocrystals in the stack made low voltage operation possible by the direct tunneling programming, while the nitride layer as an additional charge storage trap layer enabled longer retention time. By making the double stack of Si3N4-Au-Si3N4-Au, we could enhance the memory characteristics even further
