As dielectric material and sensitive membrane was chosen titanium dioxide (TiO2) thin film. This film was obtained by sputtering, and was structurally characterized by Atomic Force Microscopy, Raman and Ellipsometry which revealed that the films present rutile and anatase crystal structure and 1.17 RMS roughness. MOS capacitors were fabricated to make the electrical characterization of TiO2 thin films and to determine the annealing time that leads to the best thin film properties, defined by high dielectric constant value (high-k), lower charge density (Q0/q) and flat-band voltage (VFB) around -0.9V. For electrical measurement of EIS was used Capacitance x Voltage curve (CxV curve) using different pH and lead (Pb+) solutions. From the flat band voltage (VFB) of the CxV curves was possible to determine the sensitivity of 96mV/pH for pH measurements and sensitivity of 30mV/ppm for different lead concentration in solution measurements.","PeriodicalId":113603,"journal":{"name":"2016 31st Symposium on Microelectronics Technology and Devices (SBMicro)","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128719307","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}

One small capacitive transimpedance amplifier (CTIA) was designed for high-resolution analog FPAs, as well as a novel mixed-signal architecture which has several advantages over the analog design, such as a wider dynamic range, a native digital output, a longer integration time and a faster system development. The read-out circuits were electrically tested at room temperature and liquid-nitrogen temperature (77 K) and, later, were connected to a photovoltaic quantum-well infrared photodetector cooled at 10K to check the properties of the whole system. The CTIA performed as expected. The mixed-signal circuit appeared to be able to measure currents from pA to nA with a good linearity and low noise. The calculated resolution was about 50,000 e-/bit, and integration times from milliseconds to a few seconds could be reached without any saturation. The results confirm that such circuits can be used for the design of state-of-the-art intersubband FPAs with very few modifications.","PeriodicalId":113603,"journal":{"name":"2016 31st Symposium on Microelectronics Technology and Devices (SBMicro)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130598282","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 analysis of the temperature dependence of the electrical properties of individual nanowires shows that the electronic transport changes from conduction of free holes, above room temperature, to hopping conduction at lower temperatures. Two hopping conduction mechanisms were observed starting from Mott-VRH and transiting to ES-VRH as temperature drops. The analysis of the hopping conduction allows extracting the values of electrical transport parameters in the NWs. The average doping levels were found to change from nanowire to nanowire. This anomaly was explained in terms of variations of growth rate from wire to wire due to the characteristic growth mechanism of free-standing nanowires, as well as due to the polytypism in the NWs.","PeriodicalId":113603,"journal":{"name":"2016 31st Symposium on Microelectronics Technology and Devices (SBMicro)","volume":"76 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117006849","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 strain improves the mobility and consequently the transconductance (gm) and reduces the threshold voltage (VTH) due to the bandgap reduction. Proton radiation degrades gm and decreases VTH mainly for wider fins. We observed experimentally that both parameters (gm and VTH) influence the ZTC bias point, which is also supported by the ZTC analytical model. The VTH influences directly the VZTC in amplitude and the radiation the gm temperature degradation factor (c), consequently leading to undesired changes of VZTC with temperature.","PeriodicalId":113603,"journal":{"name":"2016 31st Symposium on Microelectronics Technology and Devices (SBMicro)","volume":"186 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131894321","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 effects of biaxial strain were also analyzed for the maximum mobility and it is shown that the strain increases the mobility for standard and rotated substrates.
