One of the most important parameters is the charge-to-spin conversion (CS) efficiency. Improving CS efficiency is critical for reducing write current of the emerging nonvolatile memory technology, spin-orbit torque MRAM (SOT-MRAM) [2], which provides comparable speed with SRAM but with a much higher memory capacity. Here, we measure CS efficiency in various topological insulators (TIs) using second-harmonic method (2eo-method) and obtain a record-high value 8.33±0.65 for insulating (BiSb)2 Te3 at room temperature. We first establish the consistency of CS efficiency obtained between spin-torque ferromagnetic resonance (ST-FMR) and 2eo-method. Then, we systematically investigate the CS efficiency in a bilayer consisting of a metallic Bi2Se3 and a CoFeB thin film using 2eo-method. By tuning the Fermi level of TI layer into bulk band gap using (BiSb)2 Te3, we improve the CS efficiency by an order of magnitude.","PeriodicalId":269641,"journal":{"name":"2018 76th Device Research Conference (DRC)","volume":"63 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128207701","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 wide bandgap energy and the predicted high breakdown field, together with the availability of low-cost native substrates, make $beta$ -Ga2O3 a promising material compared to other conventional wide bandgap materials, such as GaN and SiC. The use of bulk-doped $beta$ -Ga203 channels makes it challenging to achieve device scaling. Recently, (AlxGal-x)2O3/Ga2O3 modulation doped field effect transistor structures were demonstrated as a promising candidate for electronic device applications, showing the ability to improve channel mobility, and at the same time, achieve vertical scaling. High 2DEG charge density could potentially lead to better screening of the polar-optical phonon scattering at room temperature and therefore significantly enhance the electron mobility. However, the 2DEG density that can be confined in the modulation-doped structures without the introduction of parallel channels is limited by the conduction band offset at the hetero-interface and the spacer layer thickness. In this work, a modulation-doped double heterostructure field effect transistors (DHFET) is employed to further enhance the confined 2DEG density. Its electrical characterization will be discussed in this work.","PeriodicalId":269641,"journal":{"name":"2018 76th Device Research Conference (DRC)","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121718639","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}

Typically, the anode recess is a frequently-used and effective technology in reducing the SBD's VON and $mathrm{R}_{mathrm{ON},mathrm{SP}}$ [1]. However, the rough surface morphology and poor recess depth control in common dry etching are two critical issues that would lead to an increased leakage current and premature breakdown [2]. In this report, we employ a LPCVD $mathrm{Si}_{3}mathrm{N}_{4}$ compatible self-terminated, and plasma-free recess technique in an AlGaN/GaN double channel anode-recessed SBD. The anode region is prevented from plasma bombardment and the recess could stop precisely at the upper heterojunction interface with a smooth surface morphology. The SBD with a $15 mu mathrm{m} L_{mathrm{AC}}$ exhibits a low $mathrm{R}_{mathrm{ON},mathrm{SP}}$ of $1.32 mathrm{m}Omegacdot mathrm{cm}^{2}$, a remarkable $V_{mathrm{ON}}$ uniformity and a leakage current of $sim 0.2 mu mathrm{A}/mathrm{mm}$ at −300 V. Moreover, with the assistance of high quality LPCVD $mathrm{Si}_{3}mathrm{N}_{4}$, a 1.2kV breakdown voltage and a high Baliga' $mathrm{s}$ figure-of-merit of $1.1mathrm{GW}/mathrm{cm}^{2}$ are ultimately achieved in the same device.","PeriodicalId":269641,"journal":{"name":"2018 76th Device Research Conference (DRC)","volume":"74 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126458679","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}

Accurate measurements of the impact ionization coefficients for SiC [2] determined a BFOM to more than 1000 for 4H-SiC. This encouraged the development of practical SiC devices during the 1990s culminating in the announcement of commercial devices by 2003.

According to single-domain (SD) Landau theory, a hysteresis-free NC state in a ferroelectric might be stabilized in the presence of depolarization fields below a certain critical film thickness $t_{mathrm{F, SD}}$. However, it is well-known that depolarization fields will cause the formation of domains in ferroelectrics to reduce the depolarization energy [2], which is rarely considered in the literature on NC [3]. The improvident use of SD Landau theory to model NC devices seems to be the main reason for the large discrepancy between experimental data and the current theory [4]. Here, we will show by simulation how anti-parallel domain formation can strongly limit the stability of the NC state in a metal-ferroelectric-insulator-metal (MFIM) structure, which is schematically shown in Fig. 1.","PeriodicalId":269641,"journal":{"name":"2018 76th Device Research Conference (DRC)","volume":"403 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133772089","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}

[1]–[3] However, high contact resistance caused by the formation of Schottky barrier and contamination at the metal-layered BP interface poses challenges in applying BP in device applications.[4] This problem becomes more serious for short-channel devices as the contact resistance is more dominant than the channel resistance, thereby, the device performance is limited by the contact resistance. Thermal annealing has been used as a promising technique for improving the contact properties in electronic devices. However, BP is vulnerable to the ambient molecules, especially in the elevated temperature, and deliberate studies of the thermal annealing on BP-based electronic devices are required.

To further improve the electrostatics of field-effect transistors (FETs), researchers recently are exploring the use of stacked gate-all-around Si nano-sheet device structures [1]. These novel devices, like FinFETs, give rise to a larger effective channel width for the same footprint and thus allow for higher current drives. The ultimate extension of such a structure would utilize an atomically thin sheet of semiconductor, which makes two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) an ideal choice for applications that rely on the vertical stacking of multiple 2D sheets.
