The results show that self-heating is suppressed when the heating time is shorter than the time constant of substrate even if poor thermal conductivity of substrate is adopted.","PeriodicalId":209993,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Symposium on VLSI Technology, Systems and Application (VLSI-TSA)","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127046901","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}

Formation of a high quality GaN MOS interface is a key for realizing the GaN Power IC. Although a good interface property of a SiO2/GaN structure have already reported[1], the SiO2/GaN structure has obvious interfacial Ga-oxide layer. On the other hand, we have established to form a SiO2/GaN interface without an obvious interfacial layer and with a low interface trap density (DIt)[2]. However, carrier conduction in the SiO2/GaN structure with the abrupt interface has not yet been investigated. In this study, characteristics of current density (J) vs oxide field (Eox) in the SiO2 layers formed by the remote-oxygen- plasma enhanced CVD (ROPE-CVD) on a GaN surface were investigated through comparisons of J-Eox characteristics between GaN and Si MOS capacitors.","PeriodicalId":209993,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Symposium on VLSI Technology, Systems and Application (VLSI-TSA)","volume":"69 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132064811","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}

However, their data retention time at elevated temperature such as the soldering reflow criterion and the automotive application temperature range is still a critical point. In this paper, P-STT-MRAM devices with diameters ranging from 20nm to 150nm have been tested in temperature. The thermal stability factor has been extracted electrically for temperatures up to 190°C. Then the loss in the Curie temperature of the storage layer compared to bulk values has been measured and directly linked to the thermal stability values. At last, a model is proposed to predict the temperature dependance of the thermal stability factor.","PeriodicalId":209993,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Symposium on VLSI Technology, Systems and Application (VLSI-TSA)","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125601410","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}

High- accuracy discrimination has been achieved over a range of concentrations of 20-100 ppm using only one parameter of the OFET. By analyzing the OFET parameter cross- reactivity and using differential function analysis to create fingerprints for individual compounds, more significant selectivity and robust isomer detection have been achieved.","PeriodicalId":209993,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Symposium on VLSI Technology, Systems and Application (VLSI-TSA)","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121571421","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}

Multipatterning requires the use of multiple masks, which is costly and increases process complexity as well as edge placement error variation mostly driven by overlay. In our presentation, we will propose and demonstrate novel patterning concepts, which can curb some of these downsides and usher in the next technological advancements required for further scaling.
