In this work, we have investigated the effect of thin SiO2 layer on switching variability of SiNx-based RRAM. We found that recessive LRS state generated in set operation results in large reset current and abrupt reset operation. The abrupt reset operation leads to large HRS distribution. To investigate the transient characteristics of switching process in detail, measurement environment is implemented with equivalent circuit and measured current from equipment is separated to capacitive and resistive current element. Consequently, we point the internal overshoot current occurred in set operation as the cause of switching variability and large distribution.

In this paper, we will review the current challenges and advancements to continue standard device scaling beyond the 5nm technology node. Apart from the introduction of new materials and device concepts, we will also address the trend towards more heterogeneous systems requiring close interaction between the technology and system optimization.

This paper describes a majority logic gate circuit on a “single-dopant” device. The single-dopant device that has been receiving increasing attention in recent years is one of atomic scale solid-state device and can be a practical platform for a single-electron circuit. We here aim to fabricate actual single-dopant majority logic circuits with deterministic doping method. For this, we design a possible circuit on the device and test its operation by Monte Carlo simulation as a first step of this study. As results, we confirmed correct circuit operation and found that the device will have thermal-noise- and device-parameter-fluctuation-harnessing abilities. We believe that we will succeed to fabricate practical the single-dopant majority logic gate circuit in near future.

Accurate evaluation of Self Heating Effects in highly down-scaled devices becomes essential for improved performance and reliability. However, complex structure of BEOL causes analysis of SHEs to be difficult To remove the difficulty, based on Rent's rule to obtain interconnect density function, effective thermal conductivity of BEOL versus metal volume density and average aspect ratio (p) was calculated. With results above, TCAD simulation for SHEs was performed in 5 nm node nanowire FET. As a result, lowered thermal conductivity by complicated structure can bring underestimated SHEs through simulation.

A high peak hole mobility of 412 cm2/V-sec at Ninv=1.8×1012 cm−2, a very low Jg of ∼10−4 A/cm2 at Vg=Vfb+1 V and an ultralow EOT of 0.53 nm in Ge pMOSFETs are simultaneously achieved by high-k/0D-HKVGe02 gate stack with suitable treatments. The content of Ge+1 and Ge+2 in GeOx layer are re-oxidized to higher oxidation state by gettered oxygen, which is captured by OD-HfOx from GeOx. The proposed gate stack is promising for Ge MOSFET.

In this work, we study the resistive switching characteristics of two different resistive switching memory devices (SiNx and HfOx) with SiO2 tunnel barrier. The switching of the former and the latter is based on the movement of hydrogen ion and oxygen vacancies, respectively. For Cu/SiNx/SiO2/p+-Si device, the operating current is drastically reduced and nonlinearity of LRS is increased compared to without the devices without tunnel barrier. These experiment results demonstrate that the two-types RRAM devices having tunnel barrier is highly suitable for the low-power and high-density memory applications.

Amorphous silicon bolometers with different pixel patterns are investigated for far infrared detection. Devices with floating resonator structure are measured for resistances and temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) values. The results show normal leg geometry has high TCR (∼ −4%/°C) and moderate resistance. Thus the pixel pattern is suitable for infrared detecting applications.
