Germanium (Ge) FinFETs with HfOx-based gate stacks were fabricated to study the complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) applications. To evaluate the logic circuit operation, the associated CMOS inverters were characterized. Compared to the HfO2, Hf0.5Zr0.5Ox (HZO) gate stack provides higher drive currents and more symmetric Vth behaviors, which should be associated with the polarization effect. Through cyclic voltage transfer characteristic (VTC) operation and systematical analysis, it is found that both polarization and charge trapping in the gate stack impact the device characteristics. The HZO devices show a negative VTC shift with cycling, while the HfO2 devices reveal a positive shift. This opposite VTC behavior for both gate stack schemes indicates that the interaction of interface states and dipoles significantly influences the device operation. The results revealed in this work present a comprehensive understanding for HfOx-based device optimization.

Ethylene-Propylene-Diene Rubber (EPDM) is widely utilized as a high-performance insulation material in high-voltage direct current (HVDC) cable accessories, owing to its exceptional electrical and thermal properties. In this study, we have successfully synthesized and employed 4-vinyl oxyacetophenone (VPE) as a modification agent to develop the chemically grafted EPDM materials (EPDM-g-VPE) just through thermal crosslinking reaction and melt blending approach. Infrared spectroscopy results reveal that during thermal cross-linking process, VPE efficiently grafted onto EPDM molecular-chains through free radical addition reaction. Following VPE grafting, the DC dielectric breakdown strength and electrical conductivity of EPDM are significantly increased and noticeably decreased respectively. Theoretical electronic structure calculations corroborate that VPE's electron-affinity and energy-gap enable it to efficiently absorb thermal electron energy without undergoing collision ionization, thereby enhancing EPDM's breakdown resistance. Simultaneously, VPE molecules exhibit a high affinity for capturing electron charge carriers within EPDM polymer-molecules. Space charge and thermally stimulated current tests demonstrate that the stable and uniformly distributed charge traps can be effectively introduced into EPDM matrix by grafting VPE modification, thereby suppressing transport and injection of charge carriers. Consequently, this approach substantially improves DC electrical insulation performance of EPDM.

This study introduces a novel p-GaN/AlGaN/GaN heterostructure wafer, implementing a unique p-type GaN gate AlGaN/GaN HEMT configuration. In this design, the p-GaN region extends toward the drain, eliminating the need for a gate electrode. This innovation significantly enhances the HEMT's performance, with a 45.2% increase in breakdown voltage (BV) and a 17% higher threshold voltage (VTH) compared to conventional p-GaN gate HEMTs. The extended gate design redistributes the electric field, acting as a field plate to elevate the breakdown voltage. Furthermore, the proposed device, by reducing 17.4% of the saturation current without increasing the on-resistance, possibly offers improved short-circuit capability.

In this work, the large AMOLED Display Backplane LTPS 5Mask PA method was studied. A storage cap was formed by doping boron on the poly Si under the GI cap in the contact hole process without using a storage cap doping mask. In the contact hole process, half-tone PR was used to simultaneously perform cap doping and TFT source drain open. Because half-tone PR must remain uniform to protect the cap lead-in end with GI uniformly within 8G Glass, photolithography PR process conditions with good half-tone uniformity were set up.

HgSe is a mercury chalcogenide material of the HgX family (where X = S, Se, Te) which crystallises in the zincblende crystal phase. The electronic band structure of HgSe is indicative of a new state of matter in the condensed phase that is of great interest for fundamental physics and possibly new applications. This paper reports ab-initio calculations of the structural, electronic, magnetic, and optical properties of zincblende mercury selenide (HgSe) doped with manganese (Mn) in the inter sites HgMnxSe, with x = 0, 0.058, and 0.117, using the framework of spin-polarized density functional theory. The aim of our investigation is to discuss the different properties of this doped material in order to improve the promising new domain of spintronics with topological systems. Both the GGA+U+mBJ approach and spin-orbit coupling are used for band structure calculations and density of states. The results show a nontrivial topological semimetal order for HgSe and a ferromagnetic topological and metallic behaviour for HgMnxSe. The frequency response of optical properties shows interesting characteristics. Furthermore, the variation with concentration x of the critical point for each of the optical parameters is similar to that of the inverted band gap.

We used a simple sol-gel synthesis technique to prepare hexagonal Ba3(VO4)2. X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), and Raman spectroscopy were performed, confirming that Ba3(VO4)2 has a hexagonal structure. To investigate the influence of interfacial interactions at grain boundaries on microwave absorption, atomic force microscopy studies were performed. UV-Vis studies show the direct and indirect optical energy band gaps of Ba3(VO4)2 were determined as 3.81and 3.25 eV, respectively. The dielectric studies reveal that the dielectric constant (ε׳) of Ba3(VO4)2 ranges from 1.55 to 6.02 in the frequency range of 2-20 GHz, with an average ε׳ value of 3.84. The microwave absorption properties of Ba3(VO4)2 were evaluated in the frequency range of 8-18 GHz, covering the X and Ku bands at different thicknesses from 4.5 to 8 mm. The highest effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) of 4.44 GHz was observed within the frequency range of 12.83-17.27 GHz, with a maximum reflection loss of -71.43 dB at a resonance frequency of 15.05 GHz. Additionally, at a thickness of 7.5 mm, Ba3(VO4)2 achieved a maximum reflection loss of -75.22 dB at 10.03 GHz, with an EAB of 2.94 GHz (covering the X band from 8.57 GHz to 11.51 GHz).

We characterized resistance drift in phase change memory devices in the 80 K to 300 K temperature range by performing measurements on 20 nm thick, ~70 – 100 nm wide lateral Ge2Sb2Te5 (GST) line cells. The cells were amorphized using 1.5 – 2.5 V pulses with ~50 – 100 ns duration leading to ~0.4 – 1.1 mA peak reset currents resulting in amorphized lengths between ~50 and 700 nm. Resistance drift coefficients in the amorphized cells are calculated using constant voltage measurements starting as fast as within a second after amorphization and for 1 hour duration. Drift coefficients range between ~0.02 and 0.1 with significant device-to-device variability and variations during the measurement period. At lower temperatures (higher resistance states) some devices show a complex dynamic behavior, with the resistance repeatedly increasing and decreasing significantly over periods in the order of seconds. These results point to charge trapping and de-trapping events as the cause of resistance drift.

PVA incorporated with different content of CdS-Ag nanostructures were prepared using a chemical reduction technique. Along with this these nanocomposites were exposed to UV radiated for different times. The X-ray spectra of PVA /CdS-Ag nanocomposites indicated the formation of CdS and Ag nanostructures within PVA. Changes in the band structure of nanocomposites with and without UV exposure were studied by UV-Visible spectroscopy. Absorbance and refractive index showed incremental increases with the concentration of nanostructures and time of exposure. In addition, the behaviour of different optical parameters such as E˳ and Ed was investigated. Field-emission scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray analysis showed microstructural modification occurring in the nanocomposites due to changes in the concentration of incorporated nanostructures and UV radiation. The influence of concentration and UV exposure on conductivity and dielectric parameters on PVA/CdS-Ag nanocomposites was studied.

The reduction in SiO2/Si interface state density (Dit) at the SiO2/Si interface region is important for improving the performance of complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) image sensors. The CH3O-ion-implanted region stores hydrogen and releases the stored hydrogen during the subsequent heat treatment. This study demonstrates that a CH3O-ion-implanted epitaxial silicon wafer can reduce the Dit and Pb0 center density in SiO2/Si interface regions, as analyzed by quasi-static capacitance–voltage and electron spin resonance measurements, respectively. Both Dit and Pb0 center density in the CH3O-implanted wafer decreased with increasing heat treatment temperature. Moreover, the activation energy is estimated to be 1.57 eV for the hydrogen termination reactions induced by the CH3O-ion-implanted wafer.

降低二氧化硅/硅界面区的二氧化硅/硅界面态密度(Dit)对于提高互补金属氧化物半导体(CMOS)图像传感器的性能非常重要。CH3O 离子注入区可储存氢气,并在随后的热处理过程中释放出所储存的氢气。本研究通过准静态电容-电压测量和电子自旋共振测量分别分析表明,CH3O 离子注入外延硅晶片可降低二氧化硅/硅界面区的 Dit 和 Pb0 中心密度。随着热处理温度的升高,CH3O 植入晶片中的 Dit 和 Pb0 中心密度都有所下降。此外,CH3O 离子注入晶片诱导的氢终止反应的活化能估计为 1.57 eV。该活化能与二氧化硅/硅界面上氢分子和硅悬键的活化能接近。CH3O分子离子植入外延硅片的终止效应有助于提高CMOS图像传感器的电气性能。

The CH3O-ion-implanted region stores hydrogen and releases the stored hydrogen during the subsequent heat treatment. This study demonstrates that a CH3O-ion-implanted epitaxial silicon wafer can reduce the Dit and Pb0 center density in SiO2/Si interface regions, as analyzed by quasi-static capacitance–voltage and electron spin resonance measurements, respectively. Both Dit and Pb0 center density in the CH3O-implanted wafer decreased with increasing heat treatment temperature. Moreover, the activation energy is estimated to be 1.57 eV for the hydrogen termination reactions induced by the CH3O-ion-implanted wafer. The activation energy is close to those of hydrogen molecules and Si dangling bonds at the SiO2/Si interface. The termination effect of the CH3O-molecular-ion-implanted epitaxial silicon wafers can contribute to the high electrical performance of CMOS image sensors.","PeriodicalId":504734,"journal":{"name":"ECS Journal of Solid State Science and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139444806","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
