Feasibility of high density probe-based memory with polycrystalline ferroelectric media has been demonstrated for next memory applications beyond sub-10 nm generation. Noble chemical-mechanical-polishing (CMP) method was employed to fabricate a very even surface on polycrystalline MOCVD Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 (PZT) media. On the CMP processed PZT media, domain dot array was able to be written and read even at grain boundary region by PFM technique. Moreover, 15 nm-sized domain dot was successfully demonstrated on 50 nm-thick PZT media. Also for the first time, we successfully demonstrated that the polycrystalline ultra thin 7 nm-thick PZT media has good ferroelectric properties

The carrier transport in dopant-segregated Schottky (DSS) and conventional MOSFETs was thoroughly investigated in terms of carrier injection velocity, vinj. It was found that vinj enhancement associated with the velocity overshoot enhances the current drivability in DSS, in addition to the reduction of parasitic resistance. A physical-based model was newly developed to explain the velocity overshoot behavior and reproduced the experimental data very well. Moreover, a novel type of DSS FinFET to take full advantage of the velocity overshoot was proposed and demonstrated as a primary study

In this paper the authors present the field effect diode (FED) as a novel device with a new approach for ESD protection in SOI. Device parameters are identified and optimized to achieve optimum ON and OFF behavior. Furthermore, the authors present two ways the FED can be used in an ESD protection scheme: in I/O clamping and in a high-voltage supply clamp

This paper describes a novel RF CMOS-MEMS switch that integrates RF MEMS switches and CMOS control circuits. A single-pole 8-through RF CMOS-MEMS switch was fabricated and its operation at 3.3 V supply voltage was achieved. The switch was encapsulated with a thin film at wafer level to prevent destruction during packaging. Experimental results confirm that the switch has mechanical reliability for more than 1 billion cycles

Thermoelectric effects enable direct energy conversion between heat and electricity. Various size effects can be explored to increase the thermoelectric performance of nanostructures compared to bulk. Boundary scattering reduces the phonon thermal conductivity, and quantum confinement and interface energy filtering can improve the electronic power factor. Theoretical and experimental results are described for thin films, nanowires, and nanocomposites

In this paper, different Hf-based oxides (HfO2, HfSiO under several annealing conditions, HfSiON, HfAlO with various compositions) are simultaneously considered as storage layers of charge-trap memories. Based on material characterization analyses, electrical data of memory cells, physical modeling of charge-trap devices, we show that a strict relationship exists between the crystal structure of the storage layer and the memory performances. The obtained results clearly demonstrate the high interest of HfO2 dielectric as possible storage layer of future NROM-like memory devices

Nanometer CMOS technology offers the required integration density for advanced products such as home theatre equipment and personal communication devices. The system solutions inside these products demand highly integrated systems-on-silicon, blending high-density digital functions with analog interface circuits. These integrated solutions have to cope with high data-rates, and thus require high speed and high dynamic range circuits, without compromising power consumption. Novel choices on circuit and system level are required to handle the increased number of devices subject to high variability, running at higher intrinsic speeds with a constraint power supply

Our study shows that localized charge storage significantly enhances RTN. The amplitude of RTN varies in different program levels of a multi-level cell. The broadening of read current distribution due to RTN is characterized and modeled. Improvement of bottom oxide robustness can reduce the read current fluctuations
