The Si wires in the TEG module are 5mm long, 50μm wide, and the spacing between two adjacent wires is 50μm. The TEG modules are transferred from SOI wafer to Poly (ethylene terephthalate) (PET) substrate by using transfer printing method, with Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) as transfer substrate. More than 90% of wires are transferred in the first transfer step (i.e. from wafer to PDMS) and 100% are transferred in the second step (i.e. PDMS to PET) has been achieved in this process.

Devices are tested under a variety of operational conditions. A Factorial Hidden Markov Model (FHMM) analysis is exploited to extrapolate the properties of the traps causing multi-level RTN in LRS. The trapping and de-trapping of charge carriers into/out of defects located in the proximity of the conductive filament results in a shielding effect on a portion of the conductive filament, leading to the observed RTN current fluctuations. The variations of the current observed at subsequent set/reset cycles are instead attributed to the stochastic variations in the filament due to oxidation/reduction processes during reset and set operations, respectively. The statistical characterization of RTN and cycling variability does not show correlation between these phenomena.","PeriodicalId":262652,"journal":{"name":"2014 44th European Solid State Device Research Conference (ESSDERC)","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121274525","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}
