In this paper, applications are discussed that describe achievements along the road towards 'Ambient Intelligence'. Appliances and devices disappear into the environment of the individual; instead services come into focus. Key to this development are system solutions that lead to a significant improvement of the human-machine interface. Along this line, we present important technologies and key system components ranging from low-cost electronic technologies and systems, to ubiquitous sensor networks and electronics in smart textiles. In conclusion, this presentation relates the semiconductor technology roadmap to a future world in which electronics meets human needs in a pervasive, intuitive and beneficial way.

Ultrahigh storage densities of up to 1 Tb/in./sup 2/ or more can be achieved by using local-probe techniques to write, read back, and erase data in very thin polymer films. The thermomechanical scanning-probe-based data-storage concept, internally dubbed "millipede", combines ultrahigh density, small form factor, and high data rates. High data rates are achieved by parallel operation of large 2D arrays with thousands micro/nanomechanical cantilevers/tips that can be batch-fabricated by silicon surface-micromachining techniques. The inherent parallelism, the ultrahigh areal densities and the small form factor may open up new perspectives and opportunities for application in areas beyond those envisaged today.

We report for the first time, the digital and analog performance of sub-100nm Fully-Depleted Silicon-On-Insulator (SOI) n and p-MOSFETs using TaSiN gate and HfO/sub 2/ dielectric with elevated Source/Drain (SD) extensions. As CMOS technology continues to scale down, the FDSOI technology offers a potential solution to control short channel effects by reducing the silicon film thickness and a concurrent scaling of the buried oxide thickness. The use of metal gate and thin undoped body offer the additional advantages of 1) suppression of polysilicon depletion effects, 2) elimination of boron penetration, 3) minimizing S/D junction capacitance (Cj), and 4) enhancing transistor matching performance for mixed signal application. High k dielectric is necessary to reduce gate leakage for EOT below 15 to 20/spl Aring/. The intrinsic low-leakage nature of the FDSOI device and it's immunity to floating body effect provides much opportunity for ultra-low power digital and analog applications. Physical and electrical analyses of the devices are presented to provide an assessment of the metal gates on high K gate dielectric in combination with fully-depleted device operation in the context of digital and analog circuits.

PMOSFETs experiencing negative bias temperature instability (NBTI) recover after stress is removed. We show for the first time that: (1) the recovery can reach 100% at 25/spl deg/C; (2) recovery has a universal behavior independent of stress voltage, stress time and temperature (below 25/spl deg/C); and (3) the recovered devices degrade at the same rate when re-stressed, indicating that recovery resets the degraded device to its original state. We propose a three step model to describe this mechanism: (i) voltage accelerated degradation, (ii) bias and degradation independent recovery and (iii) temperature driven "lock-in" step. We believe that the competing effects of these three steps corrupt common field/temperature acceleration models for NBTI.

Improved RF performance of Motorola's next generation HV6 high power RF-LDMOS transistor is demonstrated. In the 2.1 GHz band, with a two-carrier WCDMA signal, a 29% drain efficiency is achieved at -37 dBc IM3 and 20 W of output power, along with a high power gain of over 16.5 dB. To our knowledge, this is the highest combination of efficiency and linearity ever reported on a high power part of any technology or material system in that frequency band. A PAE of 62% at 100 W (P/sub 3dB/) is also achieved.

The time evolution of B, As, and In doping profiles during and after solid phase epitaxial regrowth (SPER) was monitored for conditions applicable to sub-65 nm CMOS technologies. As and In segregate during SPER by a sweep of the regrowing interface. In the case of B, significant B diffusion in a-Si occurs during SPER, while afterwards B uphill diffusion dominates. With the aid of atomistic simulation we have identified a temperature dependent time to maximum uphill B diffusion.

Sub-10-nm planar-bulk-CMOS devices were clearly demonstrated by a lateral source/drain (S/D) junction control using the precisely-controlled gate-electrode, shallow source/drain extensions (SDE) and steep halo. Good cut-off characteristics were observed for n/pMOSFETs with the gate length of 5 nm at 0.4 V for the first time.

Accurate estimation of the silicon junction (or die) temperature in high-end microprocessors is crucial for various performance analyses and also for chip-level thermal management. This work introduces for the first time, the notion of self-consistency in estimating the die temperature for sub-100 nm CMOS technologies by taking into account various electrothermal couplings between supply voltage, operating frequency, power dissipation and die temperature. It also comprehends chip-level reliability constraints and the impact of employing various packaging and cooling solutions in an integrated manner. The self-consistent solutions of die temperature are shown to have significant implications for evaluating various power-performance-reliability-cooling cost tradeoffs and can be used to optimize the performance of nanoscale ICs.

First, a general framework for the growth of single crystal nanowire building blocks is reviewed, with an emphasis on illustrating the level of control possible in defining composition, diameter, and electronic properties. Second, investigations of electrical transport properties of individual nanowires and nanowire heterostructures are discussed. Third, and as an example of a nanotechnology enabled application, we describe the use of nanowire field-effect devices as ultra-sensitive chemical and biological sensors. Finally, we describe studies of the fundamental optical and opto-electronic properties of compound semiconductor nanowires and nanowire heterostructures. In summary, challenges and goals for realizing nanotechnologies in the future are discussed, including schemes and progress towards highly integrated electronic and photonic systems.

Hot-carrier and oxide reliability of CMOS FinFETs with 2.1 nm-thick gate-SiO/sub 2/ were investigated. It was found that hot-carrier immunity improves as the fin width (body thickness) decreases, which facilitates gate-length scaling, while it is degraded at elevated temperature due to the self-heating effect. High values of Q/sub BD/ are achieved for devices with very small gate area. A post-fin-etch hydrogen anneal is helpful for improving hot-carrier immunity and Q/sub BD/.
