In practice the templates are composed of regions with different structures. The interface between structures will generate complicated fluid flow behavior that will slow the filling time. Here, we explore several strategies through simulations to distribute resist material according to a nonuniform pattern to reduce filling time and ultimately increase throughput. In order to mimic the complexity of a template, the interface between different pairs of template structures is considered and the spreading and merging of droplets are simulated. From these simulations, it is found that the volume and arrangement of droplets underneath strongly affect the imprint time. By distributing the correct amount of resist underneath the template, one can remove the unnecessary fluid transferring step in droplet spreading and reduce the total filling time. Furthermore, by optimally placing the resist droplets, one can delay merging events and accelerate the spreading speed. Finally, the advantage of hexagonal arrangements is explored.","PeriodicalId":17652,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Vacuum Science & Technology. B.

Initially, transistor design parameter values are set so that their on-state currents are similar for the same operating voltage (VDD). It is found that NSFs and GAAFs are more susceptible to SHE and that p-channel transistors have higher peak internal temperatures than do their n-channel counterparts due to the poor thermal conductivity of the silicon-germanium used as the p-type source/drain material. Subsequently, the on-state currents of FFs, NSFs, and GAAFs are compared under the constraint of identical peak internal temperature, which is required to ensure long-term reliability, revealing that NSFs and GAAFs offer no performance advantage over FFs under this constraint. Design optimization of p-channel NSFs for minimal SHE is subsequently investigated. It is found that with such optimization, NSFs operating at lower VDD (for similar SHE) can achieve similar on-state current as FFs.","PeriodicalId":17652,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Vacuum Science & Technology.

RRAM devices are employed in the form of dense crosspoint or crossbar arrays. In order to exploit the high-density and low-power operation of these devices, circuit designers need to accommodate their nonideal behavior and consider their impact on circuit design and algorithm performance. Hybrid integration of RRAMs with standard CMOS technology is spurring the development of large-scale neuromorphic system-on-a-chip. This review article provides an overview of neuromorphic integrated circuits (ICs) using hybrid CMOS-RRAM integration with an emphasis on spiking neural networks (SNNs), device nonidealities, their associated circuit design challenges, and potential strategies for their mitigation. An overview of various SNN learning algorithms and their codevelopment with devices and circuits is discussed. Finally, a comparison of NVM-based fully integrated neuromorphic ICs is presented along with a discussion on their future evolution.","PeriodicalId":17652,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Vacuum Science & Technology.

The influence of thickness of an electron transport layer, a hole transport layer, an absorber, defect density, doping concentration, electron affinity, temperature, and series resistance issued for the optimization of the lead-free device is studied. It is confirmed via the scaps simulation results that this device is perfectly optimized with the experimental results and demonstrates the maximum possible improved power conversion efficiency in a fully inorganic lead-free CsGeI3 perovskite solar cell device. The final optimized device performance parameters are as follows: %PCE = 18.30%, %FF = 75.46%, Jsc = 23.31 mA/cm2, and Voc = 1.04 V. In the future, this efficiency may offer prominent potential as a substitute in a highly efficient green solar absorber material for photovoltaic applications after confirmation in the laboratory.","PeriodicalId":17652,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Vacuum Science & Technology.

It has been widely used as the thermionic emitter of electron microscopes, such as SEMs and TEMs. However, cold-field emitters (CFEs) based on CeB6 and LaB6 have not been put to practical use due to their insufficient emission stability compared to that of conventional tungsten (W)-CFEs. In consideration of that background, in the present study, the stability of the emission current from a CeB6 single-crystal CFE was improved by using the (100) plane at the faceted tip of the single crystal. The CeB6⟨100⟩ single crystal was processed by electrochemical etching and successive high-temperature field evaporation and faceting under an appropriate electric field to make a (100) plane at the apex of the crystal. The improved CeB6(100)-CFE emitted a monochromatic electron beam, which has about three-quarters of the energy width of that of W(310)-CFEs. Emission current from the (100) plane maintained low emission noise, and emission decay in the electron-gun chamber of the SEM was suppressed. The resulting current noise is low enough to produce SEM images without image deterioration, and the relatively small decay makes it possible to use the CeB6(100) emitter for one flashing process per day.","PeriodicalId":17652,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Vacuum Science & Technology.

Prior efforts to increase the rate of bulk material removal were mainly focused on increasing the primary ion beam current. Enhanced yield of etching at glancing ion beam incidence is known but has not found widespread use in practical applications. In this study, etching at glancing ion beam incidence was explored for its advantages in increasing the rate of bulk material removal. Anomalous enhancement of material removal at glancing angles of ion beam incidence was observed with single-raster etching in along-the-slope direction with toward-FIB direction of raster propagation. Material removal was inhibited in an away-from-FIB direction of raster propagation. The effects of glancing angles and ion doses on depth of cut and volume of removed materials were also recorded. We demonstrated that the combination of single-raster FIB etching at glancing incidence in along-the-slope direction with toward-FIB raster propagation and a “staircase” type of etching strategy holds promise for reducing the processing time for bulk material removal in FIB sample preparation applications.","PeriodicalId":17652,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Vacuum Science & Technology.

Because of the presence of the rigid silicon die, the strain distribution of the system model was significantly different from that of the substrate model. Unlike the substrate model, there is no significant difference in the von Mises strain according to the position in both the molding layer and the substrate in the system model. Therefore, the results of modeling or testing only flexible substrate cannot be directly applied to predict the behavior of flexible microelectronic systems. The copper bumps revealed stress above the ultimate strength as well as the yield strength. Therefore, the copper bump would be the most mechanically weak component in the operation of the face-down flexible microelectronic system during twisting. By replacing copper bumps with polymer bumps, the maximum stress in the bumps can be significantly reduced from 282 to 47 MPa, and the maximum mechanically safe twisting angle was also improved from approximately 40° to 80°. Therefore, in flexible electronic systems where twisting deformation is applied, polymer bumps are a better bonding method than the conventional copper bumps.","PeriodicalId":17652,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Vacuum Science & Technology.
