Perpendicular Spin-Transfer Torque (STT) MRAM is a promising technology in terms of read/write speed, low power consumption and non-volatility, but there has not been a demonstration of high density manufacturability at small geometries. In this paper we present an unprecedented demonstration of a robust STT-MRAM technology designed in a 2x nm CMOS-embedded 40 Mb array. Key features are full array...
The Tb(4 nm)/Cr(${t}$ nm)/Fe(5 nm) trilayers with different thicknesses of Cr layer have been investigated by X-ray diffraction, vibrating sample magnetometer, and ferromagnetic resonance. When Cr is thinner than 1.8 nm, the ferromagnetic coupling of Tb and Fe leads to higher saturation magnetization ($M_{s}$ ) than that of Fe(5 nm) film. On the other hand, the Gilbert damping constant $\alpha $ ...
The Timed Photon Counter ‘Tipsy’ detector relies on electron-emitting thin films for generation of primary electrons from a photocathode and the subsequent amplification via SiN dynodes. Both of these films represent materials challenges, and both are being investigated using synchrotrons to optimize their performance. For the dynodes, a program of soft x-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS) has been...
We aim to develop roll-to-roll (R2R) large area ultraviolet (UV) embossing process for structuring micro features on flexible plastic films. Critical challenges in R2R UV embossing include but not limited to (i) precise deposition of liquid UV curable resins, and (ii) realizing low temperature and low pressure micro-structuring using UV curing. We have developed a R2R UV embossing system, which consists...
Following our previous study on the material-quality limiting factors of evaporated solid-phase crystallized (SPC) poly-Si thin films fabricated on planar glass for photovoltaic applications, we extend our study to investigate the impurity levels, optical properties, transport properties, and device performance of so-called ??EVA?? (EVAporated Si) solar cells. These potentially cost-effective cells...
Recent progress in the metallization of poly-silicon thin-film solar cells on glass, created by solid phase crystallization (SPC) of evaporated amorphous silicon (EVA), revealed that this type of solar cell suffers from severe shunting problems when the air-side (i.e., rear) metal contact is deposited. Pinholes of sizes between 5 and 20 microns exist in this material at moderate density (0.1–1 mm−2...
