Organic Large Area Electronics (OLAE) has been identified as a key enabling technology for smart sensing. Moreover, printed electronics brings the flexibility to fulfill these applications. In this paper, the last major results on different printed interfacing Organic Thin Film Transistors (OTFTs) circuits and sensors are presented. An OTFT addressing matrix and organic photodiodes (OPDs) have been integrated in a common process to achieve an image sensor on a flexible plastic substrate.

Recent progress and developing issues of GaN vertical power devices are reviewed. Quality improvement of GaN substrates activates the research. 2kV level pn diodes and 1.5kV level vertical transistors have been reported recently. However, some issues to be solved still exist to show high ability of GaN.

A physical analytic formula based on Stochastic Differential Equation was successfully developed to describe intrinsic ReRAM variation. The formula was proved useful for projecting scaled ReRAM memory window and resistance distribution after long-term retention, verified by testing 40 nm 2-Mbit ReRAM. The formula also centered on practical and quantitative filament characterization.

OTFTs are fundamentally the most flexible transistor technology available, offering a route to truly flexible electronic devices. OTFTs have shown substantial improvements in performance over the past 25 years with further improvements still to come. FlexEnable has demonstrated flexible, full colour OLCDs build on ultra-low cost TAC substrates. FlexEnable has shown that their OTFTs can exceed the performance of a-Si and show good performance under reliability testing.

This paper presents a novel SiGe/Si tunneling field-effect transistor (TFET) which exploits line tunneling parallel with the gate electric field. The device makes use of selective and self-adjusted silicidation and a counter doped pocket within the SiGe layer at the source tunnel junction, resulting in a high on-current Ion = 6.7 μA/μm at a supply voltage VDD = -0.5 V and a constant subthreshold swing (SS) of about 80 mV/dec over four orders of magnitude of drain-current Id.

We demonstrate a neuromorphic core with 64k-cell phase change memory (PCM) synaptic array (256 axons by 256 dendrites) with in-situ learning capability. 256 configurable on-chip neuron circuits perform leaky integrate and fire (LIF) and synaptic weight update based on spike-timing dependent plasticity (STDP). 2T-1R PCM unit cell design separates LIF and STDP learning paths, minimizing neuron circuit size. The circuit implementation of STDP learning algorithm along with 2T-1R structure enables both LIF and STDP learning to operate asynchronously and simultaneously within the array, avoiding additional complication and power consumption associated with timing schemes. We show hardware demonstration of in-situ learning with large representational capacity, enabled by large array size and analog synaptic weights of PCM cells.

Local and selective far-infrared ray laser annealing (FIR-LA) process with very short heating duration (<;100μs) and low substrate temperature (<;400°C) enables sequentially stacked gate-first nanowire FETs (NWFETs), including 3D+ Si NWFET and poly-Ge junctionless (JL) NWFET, and BEOL compatible monolithic 3D+ nanoelectronics. The 3D+ Si NWFETs, demonstrated by green nano-second laser crystallization (GNS-LC) and FIR-LA processes exhibit steep subthreshold swing (<;90mV/dec.) and high driving current (n-type: 310μA/μm and p-type: 220μA/μm). The 7nm poly-Ge JLNWFET shows high Ion/Ioff ratio (>5×104) and small DIBL. Furthermore, the thus fabricated low driving voltage 6T SRAM shows a static noise margin (SNM) of 130 mV at Vd=0.4V enabling the low power and low cost 3D+IC for internet of things (IoTs).

Due to the resolution limit of the lithography tools, multiple patterning technologies are being introduced to the back-end of the line (BEOL). For example, LELELE (or LE3, triple litho-etch) or SADP (self-aligned double patterning) [1] are already implemented in 10nm node technology based on a polygon's geometry, its orientation and pitch requirement. However, metal architecture, arrangement of signal and power lines in a metal layer or across metal layers, cause a significant impact on operating performance as well as determine the metal's orientation, which is also an important element for lithographic performance. Therefore, all the factors should be addressed together to arrive at an optimal chip performance.

It is the most exciting time for power electronics in decades. The combination of new applications, such as microinverters, electric vehicles and solid state lighting, with the new opportunities brought by wide bandgap semiconductors is expected to significantly increase the reach and impact of power electronics. This paper describes some of the recent advances on developing power devices based on Gallium Nitride (GaN), the key design constrains, and the process to take a new device material and structure from the research laboratory of universities to full commercialization.

In this paper, we have successfully demonstrated high quality Extremely-thin body (ETB) Ge-on-insulator (GOI) p-MOSFETs with thickness ranging from 25 nm to 2 nm. Furthermore, the hole mobility and the GOI thickness dependence over a wide range of GOI thickness down to 2 nm are systematically analyzed and understood from the viewpoint of the scattering mechanisms, for the first time.
