Some of the drawbacks for minimizing device size in MOSFET include gate insulator scaling, Short-Channel Effects (SCEs), shallow junction technology and off-state leakage current in MOSFET devices. In addition, the traditional SiO2 as a dielectric material contains restricted maximum capacitance as well as increased tunnel current leakage due to the thickness. Hence, a High-k dielectric is required to replace SiO2 to overcome the mentioned issues. In this model, the N-type MOSFET is designed based on the bi-layer high K-dielectric medium with optimized thickness according to the maximum capacitance and minimum threshold voltage, which are implemented on VLSI based applications such as 6 T SRAM for evaluating the performance. The drain current of HfO2, Al2O3 and HfO2+Si3N4 for 2.5 v drain voltage are 1.87 mA, 1.51 mA and 3.54 mA. Then, the read and write delay of the single and bi-layer MOSFET are 70.84 ps, 82.64 ps, 95.21 ps and 10.24 ps, 15.47 ps, 21.74 ps. Thus, the designed and simulated bi-layer optimized high k- dielectric medium for N-MOSFET with wild horse optimization performs better electrical characteristics than the single layer dielectric medium MOSFET.","PeriodicalId":11496,"journal":{"name":"ECS Journal of Solid State Science and Technology","volume":"77 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141613608","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Conversely, reducing the size of T<sub>NS</sub> (and W<sub>NS</sub>) from 10 nm to 5 nm (and 20 nm to 10 nm, respectively) lead to notable improvements, with a 34.4% (21.01%) decrease in SS, 93.19% (58.86%) decrease in DIBL, and 98.6% (41.06%) increase in I<sub>on</sub>/I<sub>off</sub>.

X-ray diffraction results revealed that Bi2+ cations entered the A site and the multiple cations occupied the B site of BNNT, thereby decreased the remnant polarization intensity and refined the hysteresis loop. Scanning electron microscopy images showed uniform morphologies with clear grain boundaries of the ceramics, and the average size decreased with x increasing. The substitution of multiple cations at the B-site induced the splitting of macroscopic ferroelectric domains into smaller polar nanodomains, leading to the formation of high-dynamic polar nanoregions and accelerating the transition from BNNT to relaxor ferroelectrics, thus improving relaxation properties of the material. The excellent energy storage density (Wrec ∼ 2.80 J cm−3) and efficiency (∼90.0%) can be obtained under 200 kV cm−1. Moreover, the discharge-charge testing revealed excellent current density (∼589.5 A cm−2), high power density (∼20.63 MW cm−2), and extremely short discharge time (t0.9 ∼ 50.4 ns), along with exceptional temperature stability and cycling stability under the equivalent electric field of 120 kV cm−1.

(1−x)ZnWO4/xCdS (x; 0 to 0.25) heterojunctions were formed and the structure and microstructure of the ZnWO4 and CdS phases developed were investigated using Rietveld refinement analysis for synchrotron X-ray diffraction data. Phase analysis revealed the phase percentage of the CdS phase is always less than the nominated value (x), implying merging of some Cd and S into ZnWO4. Raman spectra showed CdS peaks, confirming the existence of CdS. Scanning electron microscopy showed two distinct morphologies: plate-like particles (ZnWO4 phase) and spherical shape (CdS phase). UV–vis diffuse measurements revealed enhancement of absorbance and reduction in reflectance and transmittance, in the range 300–56 nm, as the amount of CdS (x) increased in the (1−x)ZnWO4/xCdS system. Band gap of the ZnWO4 phase reduced from 4.0 eV for x = 0.0 to 3.9, 3.6, and 2.9 eV for x = 0.05, 0.1, and 0.25, respectively. The highest refractive index values were obtained as the amount of CdS reached 0.05. Impact of alloying on linear and nonlinear parameters and emitted photoluminescence spectra was studied. Upon loading ZnWO4 with CdS, the PL intensity is greatly quenched and the whole spectrum is red shifted, from 480 to 540 nm.

In order to completely establish ASLB, proper understanding of solid electrolyte is very vital and the research from diverse point is still undergoing. Among them, NASICON-type phosphate based solid electrolytes are one of the promising materials due to good ionic conductivity and atmospheric stability. Addition of proper dopants into the parent material could cause an increment in their ionic conductivity as well as stability, thus fitting the material apt as solid electrolyte. This study aims in understanding the effect of ionic conductivity and stability of Lithium Aluminium Germanium Phosphate (LAGP) material upon adding Zinc as dopant material. We explored the effect of structural, ionic conductivity, stability against Li and Ac conductivity properties of Li1.5Al0.5−xZnxGe1.5(PO4)3 solid electrolyte with x = 0, 0.1 and 0.2. Our study showed that doping of aluminium with slightly bigger Zn ion could enhance the stability and conductivity of the material without changing the crystal structure. When x = 0.1 the ionic conductivity of the material attained is 1 × 10−5 S cm−1 at RT, which reaches 2.57 × 10−5 S cm−1 at 60 °C. Such a change in conductivity arises due to the expansion of ionic pathways which can be further tuned by exploring the limiting concentration 0 ≤ x < 0.1. Moreover, the sample also showed good stability at 0.03 and 0.05 mA cm−2 current densities against Li metal. Present study shows that Zn doping can improve the ionic conductivity of LAGP moderately and it can be used as a solid electrolyte for fabricating all-solid-state batteries.","PeriodicalId":11496,"journal":{"name":"ECS Journal of Solid State Science and Technology","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141548243","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
