In the simulation, a 150 kW continuously repeated chirp signal, ranging from 27.5 to 31.5 GHz, is generated by a wideband gyrotron traveling-wave tube (gyro-TWT) and injected into the compressor. The compressed subnanosecond pulse exhibits a peak power of 7.72 MW, a duration of 221 ps, and a repetition rate of up to 40 MHz. The simulation also shows that the designed circular waveguide compressor can handle strong electric fields and high power. The cold test results demonstrate excellent agreement with the simulations, which indicate the capability of this compressor for generating megawatt-level subnanosecond microwave pulses with high repetition rates.","PeriodicalId":13092,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices","volume":"72 8","pages":"4415-4420"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144704994","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The scaling opportunities of 2-D materials arise due to their ultra-thin monolayer thickness of sub-1 nm, which allows for strong electrostatic gate control while maintaining high mobility with virtually no surface roughness scattering from the intrinsically passivated van der Waals (vdW) surfaces. The scaling benefits of 2-D materials, however, can only be realized with the development of a highly scaled, low-defect gate oxide growth method compatible with vdW surfaces. This has thus far proven to be challenging as the vdW surfaces lack the dangling bonds required for standard ALD oxide growth nucleation. Furthermore, gate oxide films grown on vdW surfaces are rarely characterized following industry standard capacitance–voltage (CV) methods, primarily due to high leakage or resistance often present in today’s 2-D transistors, rendering CV measurements very difficult. While 2-D MOSFET gate leakage and contact resistances are improving rapidly, researchers still resort to inferring equivalent oxide thickness (EOT) from I–V characterization rather than standard CV. In this work, we show through both technology computer aided design (TCAD) simulations and experiments that I–V based methods of 2-D MOSFET EOT measurements have several pitfalls which may lead to inaccurate conclusions. We provide techniques to improve accuracy for both I–V and CV-based gate oxide characterization, which will help accelerate the field of 2-D transistor development closer toward a feasible CMOS technology.","PeriodicalId":13092,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices","volume":"72 8","pages":"3974-3980"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144702118","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Labeled as S-SiOx or T-SiOx, the PV layers are formed in a plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition system using as precursor pairs either silane and nitrous oxide or tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) and oxygen. For a TFT subjected to a subsequent oxidizing heat treatment, a higher proportion of T-SiOx in the PV layer leads to more resistive source/drain (S/D) regions, induces a more extensive pushing of the S/D junctions into the S/D regions, mitigates effective short-channel effects, and improves the stability of the TFT against thermal, and positive and negative gate-bias temperature stress. These changes correlate well with a lower hydrogen content in T-SiOx than in S-SiOx.","PeriodicalId":13092,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices","volume":"72 8","pages":"4150-4155"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144703061","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
