Several fabrication technologies such as COOLMOS, STM, Multiepitaxy, Sidewall doping technique have been implemented earlier to realize SJ devices. However, its production is limited due to various shortcomings namely, costly fabrication process and inter-diffusion problems. To address both issues and to obtain better performance and process technology for super-junction MOSFET devices, a novel Polyflanked Super-junction (PF-SJ) structure is proposed as an alternative process technology to realize SJ MOSFET. TCAD simulation of the poly-filled trench SJ was done successfully and is reported to break the conventional MOSFET silicon limit for power MOSFET. This structure yields a simple way to realize the SJ performance in a typical production process. Both of its on-state and off-state characteristics are studied taking into account several possibilities of fabrication imperfections, viz., variation in trench etch angle, n and p column concentration for varied trench depths. The results establish the superior performance of PF-SJ compared to the conventional high voltage MOS structure.","PeriodicalId":112068,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE 8th Nanotechnology Materials and Devices Conference (NMDC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129936976","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}

The SWCNTs were treated by fluorine plasma from microwave plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (MPECVD) for surface modification, and developed as novel gas sensor materials. In gas-sensing tests, the SWCNT-based gas sensors treated by fluorine plasma have shown a p-type response with resistance enhancement upon exposure to 50-500 ppm ethanol at room temperature. Fluorine plasma modification can enhance the sensor response (100 ppm) from 1.15 to 1.28 on process duration of 60 s due to the apparent elimination of amorphous carbon, as demonstrated by Raman results. The sensitivity (100 ppm) increases two more times (from 0.0009 to 0.0019) and the linear range of measurement can also extend. In addition, the response and recovery time (100 ppm) can decrease apparently from 195 to 69 s and 374 to 202 s due to the existence of numerous fluorine-included functional groups, as demonstrated by the results of x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Auger electron spectroscopy. Therefore, the fluorinated SWCNTs can elevate the sensitivity and reactivity for room temperature ethanol sensing.","PeriodicalId":112068,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE 8th Nanotechnology Materials and Devices Conference (NMDC)","volume":"66 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116592842","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}
