In this paper, a new modeling approach for understanding and designing a recently proposed steep subthreshold slope SOI transistor (i.e. PN-Body Tied SOI FET [1-3]) is proposed. We revealed that the abrupt switching operation can be modeled using a simple equivalent circuit comprising two cross-coupled voltage inverters (i.e. electron current and hole current inverters). The model will be useful for designing PNBTFETs with optimum transition voltage, small hysteresis, and low standby current.

In this paper, we have simulated how the overshoot current in the Resistive-switching Random Access Memory (RRAM) cell is generated and whether the integrated transistor can effectively suppress the overshoot current that can cause degradation of cell endurance. We propose a CMOS-friendly 1T1R fabrication process and proceed with circuit simulation using the process parameters. The simulation shows that the internal transistor effectively prevent RRAM overshoot current and be capable of controlling the compliance current.

We report for ultra-thin Si tunnelling diodes that negative differential conductance (NDC) is dominated by the excess current at room temperature. This is attributed to the gap-states induced by the co-dopants in the pn junction. First-principles simulation shows that the presence of co-dopants in the pn junction region leads to an increase in the interband tunnelling current by two orders of magnitude. Furthermore co-dopants interaction plays a key role in the interband tunnelling. In the absence of dopants states in the pn junction region, raising the doping concentration at source region does not give an appreciable improvement in tunnelling current.

We present some recent progress towards the implementation of the basic building blocks of quantum information processing derived from a Si CMOS technology platform. In our approach, characterized by an emphasis on foundry compatibility in terms of processes and materials, the so-called qubits are encoded in the spin degree of freedom of gate-confined elementary charges. After introducing various qubit manipulation, coupling and readout schemes, we discuss some prospects for scalability, and in particular some potential advantages of the FDSOI technology.

Scaling of silicon MOSFETs has been predicted to go around 10 nm and below. For such a small transistor a gate-all-around nanowire is regarded as an ideal geometry to maintain gate control. On the other hand, such downsizing and excellent gate control has provided opportunities to control individual electrons one by one by placing gates on top of the nanowire to define charge islands and potential barriers electrically. In addition prominent stability and reproducibility of silicon MOSFETs are undoubted benefits for practical applications of such devices.

Impact ionization [1,2], or electron-hole pair creation by charged particles, has been one of the central issues of semiconductor physics and devices. However, due to its complexity of the process, most experimental studies and their analyses have been macroscopic and phenomenological. This situation prevents us from exploring the fundamental physics of impact ionization and of high-energy charged particles in semiconductors.

In order to obtain high channel boosting potential and to reduce a program disturbance in channel stacked type with layer selection by multi-level operation (LSM), a new program scheme using boosted common source line (CSL) is proposed. The proposed scheme can be achieved by applying proper bias to each layer through its own CSL. To verify the validity of the new method in LSM, TCAD simulations are performed. Through TCAD simulation, it is revealed that the program disturbance characteristics is significantly improved by the proposed scheme.

Highly sensitive nanotree arrays are developed on silicon by combining wet etching and hydrothermal method. Due to the large surface-to-volume ratio, the device has relative sensitivity ratio of −82% to 100ppm ethanol gas under 150°C. The response and recovery times are also shortened significantly.
