In this work, an InAs Tunnel Field-Effect-Transistor (TFET) is carefully optimized by TCAD simulations. The device is able to provide on-state currents in the mA/μm range at a reduced supply voltage of 0.5 V, while keeping the off-state currents below the ITRS specs for HP and LOP devices. Next, the designed TFET is benchmarked with respect to the ITRS specs for advanced multi-gate transistors projected...
Among all the new memories concepts, Phase Change Memories (PCM) is one of the most promising. However, various challenges remain. This paper reviews the materials and processes required to face these challenges. As an example, attention will be made on the effect of Phase change material composition on stability of the amorphous phase i.e. on the retention of the information. Additionally, it is...
This paper investigates Carbon-doped GeTe (GeTeC) as novel material for Phase-Change Memories (PCM). In the first part of the manuscript, a study of GeTeC blanket layers is presented. Focus is on GeTeC amorphous phase stability, which has been studied by means of optical reflectivity and electrical resistivity measurements, and on GeTeC structure and composition, analyzed by XRD and Raman spectroscopy...
In this paper we present a study of Phase-Change non-volatile Memory (PCM) devices integrating carbon-doped GeTe as chalcogenide material. Carbon-doped GeTe, named GeTeC, remarkably lowers the RESET current and features very good data retention properties as well. In particular, GeTe PCM with 10% carbon inclusions (named GeTeC10%) yields about 30% of RESET current reduction with respect to pure GeTe...
The Phase Change Memory (PCM), is one of the most promising concepts, as a replacement of Flash memories that should be put in production in next years. However, even if the robustness of such technology is demonstrated for consumer stand-alone applications with typically GST as phase-change chalcogenide material, data retention at high temperature remains an issue, and seemingly even GST based alloys...
Low-frequency noise in PCM devices is experimentally investigated providing a new physical model for the amorphous GST (Ge2Sb2Te5) material. Noise intensity is characterized and modelled as a function of bias, temperature and size. Findings from 1/f noise analysis are used to understand the drift mechanism of the amorphous state resistance.
