A single electron transistor (SET) with floating gate, which has a non-volatile memory effect, is successfully integrated with MOS circuits. By applying high voltage generated by the charge pump circuit to the floating gate SET, the characteristics control of Coulomb blockade oscillation is demonstrated for the first time at room temperature. This attempt will open a new path of adding new functionality to conventional MOS circuits by integration with so-called Beyond CMOS devices.

We present a newly developed model for Tunnel-FET (TFET) devices capable to describe band-to-band tunneling (BtBT) as well as off-equilibrium transport of the generated carriers. BtBT generation is implemented as an add-on into an existing Multi-subband Monte Carlo (MSMC) transport simulator that accounts for the effects of alternative channel materials and high-κ dielectrics. A simple correction for the calculation of the BtBT generation rate is proposed to account for carrier confinement in the subbands.

We demonstrate one of the most compact 1 Transistor DRAM (1T-DRAM) cell on Ultra-Thin-Body and 25nm thin Buried oxide (UTBB) down to a gate width of Wg=80nm and length of Lg=35nm for embedded DRAM applications. We have optimized the programming voltages and studied the influence of the device geometry (Wg, Lg) on the 1T-DRAM performance. The Meta Stable Dip (MSD) method provides high read current margin values, reaching 224μA/μm. This is the first experimental assessment of the MSD approach on such scaled 1T-DRAMs.

A The non-volatile gEOTMs are fabricated using a single-layer graphene (SLG) channel with an Al2O3 gate oxide layer, in which an ion-bombarded AlOx layer is intentionally formed by oxygen ion bombardment (OIB) to create the charge trap sites. The whole processes are carried out at temperature below 120°C to exploit gEOTM's compatibility to the flexible substrates. The devices shows a large memory window (>; 11.0 V), attributing to the effective electron-injection into the trap sites in AlOx. The results suggest that the gEOTM has potential applications for the high-density-memory devices and modules in flexible electronics.

The Low-Frequency (LF) noise in Bulk and DTMOS triple-gate FinFETs is experimentally investigated under 60 MeV proton irradiation. Moreover, the important figures of merit for the analog performance such as Early voltage and intrinsic voltage gain will be analyzed. The results indicate that the better electrical characteristics and analog performance of DTMOS FinFETs make them very competitive candidates for low-noise RF analog applications in a radiation environment.

Tunneling field-effect transistors (TFETs) were fabricated from compressively strained Si/SiGe wafers with a stepped gate to enhance band to band tunneling. In-situ highly p-doped Si0.5Ge0.5 was used as source and As-implanted Si as drain. For the gate stack, conformal HfO2 (k = 22) and TiN were deposited, which resulted in an effective oxide thickness (EOT) of ~ 1nm. The TFET devices exhibit minimum point inverse subthreshold slopes as small as 65 mV/dec with applied back-gate voltage, and greatly suppressed ambipolar behavior. The improved performance compared to homogeneous planar devices is attributed to the superiority of the source/channel heterojunction and the shallow p-i junction.

Low temperature electron transport measurements of single electron transistors fabricated in advanced CMOS technology with polysilicon gates not only exhibit clear Coulomb blockade behavior but also show a large number of additional conductance fluctuations in the nonlinear regime. By comparison with simulations these features are quantitatively attributed to the effects of discretely charged islands in the polysilicon gates.

A dual mode device has been realized with FDSOI MOSFET technology implementing both a single electron transistor (SET) and a field effect transistor (FET). The silicon substrate is used as a back gate to choose between these two functionalities. We show in this paper that the behavior of the device is determined by the position of the electron gas in the silicon mesa: the device is a SET if the electron gas is created by the top gate, and behaves as a FET when the back gate induces a electron gas at the bottom of the silicon mesa. This opens the possibility to design hybrid circuits exploiting both advantages of FETs and SETs.

This paper presents experimental results on metal oxide semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) featuring an array of 1000 trigated uniaxially strained nanowires with a cross-sections of 15 × 15 nm2 in combination with a HfO2/TiN gate stack. The high uniaxial strain along the wires reduces the band gap energy by approximately 140 meV and enhances the electron mobility. Ideal inverse subthreshold slopes of n- and p-channel devices of 60 (62) mV/dec at room temperature and Ion/Ioff ratios up to 1010 were obtained.

In this paper we explore, from DC measurements, the impact of gate length scaling on the main digital/analog parameters of Ultra-Thin Buried Oxide (UTBOX) Fully Depleted Silicon-on-Insulator (FDSOI) devices at different temperatures. Standard junction reference devices are compared with the extension-less ones where the latter present superior characteristics for smaller device lengths such as improved DIBL, SS and IGIDL apart from the higher Ion/Ioff ratio, VEA and AV. The temperature tends to degrade all the device parameters although the extension-less structures show to be less susceptible to its influence.
