The sensor fabrication involves synthesizing MoSSUB2/SUB and coating Pd by DC sputtering technique. MoS2 has been adopted for its high selectivity for H2, wide operating temperature range, reliability, and low power consumption. Pd has high catalytic properties for HSUB2/SUB and performs a HSUB2/SUB adsorption mechanism through resistance transition. In this study, we propose a Pddecorated MoS2 structure and introduce the chemical resistance mechanism within the channel. The limit of detection (LOD), sensitivity and response time of the fabricated HSUB2/SUB gas sensors are optimized and analyzed. Finally, the nanocomposites network based HSUB2/SUB sensor can promote the utilization of various industries and discuss the issues in sensor applications.","PeriodicalId":17067,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Semiconductor Technology and Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136018004","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While the CPU and logic devices operate quickly, their speed becomes irrelevant due to the slow data transfer between them. Consequently, addressing the data delay problem between the CPU and the logic elements is crucial. To tackle this issue, researchers have been exploring the Processing in Memory (PIM) technology, which enables simultaneous memory and computation. However, traditional volatile or nonvolatile memory-based PIM approaches have inherent limitations in overcoming the memory wall problem, as memory and computation are performed sequentially on separate devices. Therefore, there is a need to develop a new memory-logic device capable of performing read and operation simultaneously. In this paper, we propose a Feedback Field Effect Transistor (FBFET) with a charge trap layer that can fulfill both memory and computational roles, thus implementing an ideal Processing in Memory technology. The device features an oxide-nitride-oxide structure, where nitride is coupled to the oxide side of the FBFET. It accumulates electric charges in the floating body for memory operations and reads the data stored in the charge trap layer for logic operations. By selecting the control gate bias, the computing operation can be configured to perform AND or OR operations. This enables simultaneous memory and logical operations to take place.","PeriodicalId":17067,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Semiconductor Technology and Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136018005","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
