For the present and near future demand, research is progressing for the development of high speed and high power density RF devices fabrication beside main stream Si based research. For mixed and RF signal performance, Si still has limitations for it further scaling due to excess leakage of current and low trans-conductance or fT and f Max. So, suitable alternative materials device fabrication is potential. In this paper doping profile of GaAs channel and compositional (% of Al) variation in AlGaAs layer for schottky contact for AlGaAs/GaAs compound semiconductor (CS) based HEMT (high electron mobility transistor) is evaluated. Besides that, gate oxide thickness effects on covalent bonded Si based nMOS gate turn on time and ON/OFF current have also been evaluated. It appears that increasing Al composition in AlGaAs and more doping in GaAs layer enhances channel trans-conductance while low % of Al in AlGaAs layer and low doping in GaAs layer increases ON/OFF current ratio (reduces leakage current). In case of Si MOS, decreasing oxide layer thickness, transconductance is increased but ON/OFF current ratio is decreased (increase leakage current).","PeriodicalId":210558,"journal":{"name":"2012 10th IEEE International Conference on Semiconductor Electronics (ICSE)","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130818843","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}

The resistivity increases as the thickness of thin film increase with highest resistivity of 4.79 × 101 Ω cm. The transmittance for most of the samples was transparent of above 80% in the visible wavelength. The transmittance and absorption coefficient was measured and then the energy gap was determined which shows the direct transition of n=2.

The main advantage of this device is in the non-volatility which can store data without power supply, thus make the device very popular in broad application. Conventional Flash memory generally uses single tunnel oxide with a thickness of 7 nm to 10 nm as a tunnel barrier. In order to obtain good device performance, the thickness of the tunnel barrier must be reduced. If the thickness of the oxide is reduced below than 5 nm, device performance will be better but suffer from problems such as current leakage and data retention. To overcome this problem, a technique identified as Engineered Tunnel Barrier is used to replace the single oxide used in conventional flash memory. The programming characteristic of memories with different tunnel barrier stacks single layer oxide, symmetric layer and asymmetric layer dielectric are investigated using TCAD simulator. The T-suprem-4 was used for device process fabrication and MEDICI simulator used for electrical characteristics. From theoretical, confirmed that the memory with the multilayer tunnel barrier exhibits better programming characteristics in term of, programming tunneling current, programming speed and programming voltage.","PeriodicalId":210558,"journal":{"name":"2012 10th IEEE International Conference on Semiconductor Electronics (ICSE)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125051222","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}
