The proposed hybrid device feedbacks the steep transition of Metal-Insulator transition in a VO2 structure into Gate or Source configurations of strained silicon nanowire Tunnel FETs, to achieve a switching with lon/Ioff better that 5.5×106 and with a subthreshold swing of 4.0 mV/dec at 25 °C. We demonstrate that the principle of PC-TFET switching relates to an internal amplification resulting in a sub-unity body factor, m, which is reduced to values below 0.1 for a current range larger than 2–3 decades. We report a full experimental digital and analog benchmarking of the new device and compare it with Tunnel FETs and CMOS. Remarkably, the PC-TFET can achieve analog figures of merit like gm/Id breaking the 40 V−1 limit of MOSFETs. We demonstrate and report the first buffered oscillator cell for neuromorphic computing exploiting the gate configuration of PC-TFET.","PeriodicalId":186544,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Electron Devices Meeting (IEDM)","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132690707","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}

Since the electron-induced refractive index change in InGaAsP is much greater than Si, electron accumulation at the InGaAsP MOS interface enables an extremely high modulation efficiency. In conjunction with the void-free direct wafer bonding with ALD Al2O3 bonding interface, we have achieved the superior InGaAsP/Al2O3/Si hybrid MOS interface. Thus, we have successfully fabricated the InGaAsP/Si hybrid MOS optical modulator, exhibiting a modulation efficiency VπL of 0.047 Vcm, approximately 5 times better than that of Si-based MOS optical modulators reported so far even with a similar EOT of 5 nm. Thus, the heterogeneous integration of InGaAsP on Si is effective for significantly improving performance of MOS optical modulators through breaking the inherent trade-off between the EOT scaling and modulation bandwidth.","PeriodicalId":186544,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Electron Devices Meeting (IEDM)","volume":"431 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132724857","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}

To be truly disruptive, additive manufacturing has to move beyond shapes and colors. Novel printing technologies are beginning to emerge that enable conformal electronics and even printing with inks containing microchips. This in turn also creates new openings for the progress of electronics itself. Over the last 50 years silicon microelectronics advanced through shrinking device dimensions and packing more and more functionality into tiny spaces. Printing technologies open up exciting new ways of scaling electronics “Beyond Moore”, through the integration of micro and macro, creating new form factors, complex shapes, conformal devices and distributed systems. Printed, hybrid electronics systems will enable new classes of sensor systems, structural electronics and wearable devices, where the “system is the package”.","PeriodicalId":186544,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Electron Devices Meeting (IEDM)","volume":"16 4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129455778","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}

In this paper, the quantitative factors of channel current percolation path (PP) are comprehensively studied in planar and FinFET devices for the first time, with statistical simulations and experimental characterizations. The properly-defined PP parameters are well quantified by the proposed new approach, and extracted from ‘atomistic’ device simulation. The experimental data of random telegraph noise (RTN) is used via the atomic PP model to characterize the underlying channel local current fluctuations and thus to benchmark the PP in reality. Experimental results of extracted PP parameters are consistent with those predicted from simulations, confirming the effectiveness of the proposed approach. The 3D PP in FinFET has different features compared with 2D PP in planar devices, and exhibits additional distortion along Fin-width direction. This work provides a unique framework for deep understanding of “random device physics” and thus is helpful for future nano-device design.","PeriodicalId":186544,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Electron Devices Meeting (IEDM)","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132786731","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}

In this paper, we trace the trajectory of heat flow in a broad range of transistors to show that the trade-off is not fundamental, and self-heating can be suppressed by novel device designs that ease thermal bottlenecks. Towards this goal, we (i) characterize SH in various FB-FETs with different channel materials (Si, Ge, InGaAs) by submicron thermo-reflectance imaging; (ii) identify universal features and common thermal bottlenecks across various transistor technologies, (iii) offer novel, technology-aware device design to ease the bottlenecks and reduce self-heating, and (iv) experimentally demonstrate the effectiveness of these strategies in suppressing self-heating. We conclude that thermal aware transistor design can suppress self-heating without compromising performance and electrostatic control of the transistor.","PeriodicalId":186544,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Electron Devices Meeting (IEDM)","volume":"115 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130231736","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}
