We propose pipe-shaped bit cost scalable (P-BiCS) flash memory which consists of pipe-shaped NAND strings folded like a u-shape instead of the straight-shape. P-BiCS flash technology achieves a highly reliable memory film of which the program and erase (P/E) operation is managed by Fowler-Nordheim (FN) tunneling, that is originated by the strong curvature effect of its small pipe radius, a low resistance...
This paper presents an innovative structure based on 3 dimensional integration technology, where ultra thin inter layer dielectric enables a dynamic threshold voltage (VTH) control. A sequential process flow is proposed to fabricate 3D devices with dynamically tunable VTH. This ability can be exploited to design SRAMs cells with increased stability and surface density compared to planar technology...
The power consumption and the matching will be the principal issues at the 32 nm node and below. In this context, Ultra-Thin Body devices are extensively studied for the end-of-roadmap CMOS. In this paper we present the SON technology, leading to the simple fabrication of sustained mono-Si nano-membranes over an empty tunnel, and discuss on the application of this process to build-up electronic devices...
Graphene is a possible candidate for advanced channel materials in future field effect transistors. This presentation gives a brief overview about recent experimental results in the field of graphene transistors for future electronic applications.
Novel 3D stacked gate-all-around multichannel CMOS architectures were developed to propose low leakage solutions and new design opportunities for sub-32 nm nodes. Those architectures offer specific advantages compared to other planar or non planar CMOS devices. In particular, ultra-low IOFF (< 20 pA/mum) and high ION (> 2.2 mA/mum) were demonstrated. Moreover, those transistors do not suffer...
Plasma-exposed Si surface related to Si recess in source/drain region was investigated in detail for various superposed bias configurations with frequencies of 13.56 MHz and 400 kHz. Two different bias powers were utilized by an inductively coupled plasma reactor (ICP). The surface layer (SL) and the interfacial layer between the SL and Si substrate (IL) were analyzed by spectroscopic ellipsometry...
Emission spectroscopy of plasma-excited chemical species is widely used for generalized chemical analyses in bench-top systems. This paper explores the use of pulsed microdischarges between two and three electrode microstructures, which operate in air at atmospheric pressure, for use in handheld chemical analyzers. Pulsed microdischarges are fired between two-electrodes spaced apart by 0.2-2 mm. Synchronized...
