Typical neural networks comprise multiple neurons interconnected via synapses. A synapse modulates the signal transmission strength or “weight” between two neurons. Weight controllability is essential to neural network adaptability. Therefore, it is necessary to establish an artificial synapse that can modulate its own electric conductance, which represents the weights. Some researchers have used two-terminal memristors as synapses [2,3]. However, when using conventional memristors, pulses with complex shapes corresponding to what is learned must be prepared and applied to both terminals simultaneously because of their two-terminal structures [4]. Previously, we showed that a programmable synapse function could be implemented on a three-terminal ferroelectric memristor (3T-FeMEM) fabricated on a single crystal oxide substrate, which enabled simple learning schemes [5]. In this work, synapse chips were fabricated by integrating 3T-FeMEMs on CMOS circuits. We then demonstrated on-chip associative memory function using a neural network circuit with these chips.","PeriodicalId":293780,"journal":{"name":"72nd Device Research Conference","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130513827","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}

Theoretical studies on piezoelectric barriers indicate that it is possible to achieve internal voltage amplification and steep SS in GaN MOSHEMTs by utilizing electrostriction in conjunction with piezoelectricity in AlN and InAlN [3] [4]. Less than 60 mV/decade SS was experimentally observed in GaN MOSHEMTs with InAlN barriers, in which the steep transition was tentatively correlated with the inhomogeneous distribution of polarization in the barrier [5]. However, steep SS were only observed at drain current (Id) near nA/mm regimes, which leads to difficulties in interpretation of experiment data. Understanding of the mechanism of the steep SS in these devices is still unclear and needs more characterization and modeling. In this work we demonstrate InAlN/AlN/GaN MOSHEMTs with less than 60 mV/decade SS in deep sub-threshold regions (1E-8 A/mm and below) at room temperature (RT). Drain voltage and temperature dependent characteristics are provided with analysis for advancing our understanding of this phenomenon.","PeriodicalId":293780,"journal":{"name":"72nd Device Research Conference","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114874603","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, the narrower bandgap of SiGe compared to silicon leads to an increase in band-to-band tunneling, which results in higher gate-induced drain leakage (GIDL). Previous work has focused on understanding long-channel GIDL for planar buried-channel s-SiGe pFETs with Si cap and ion-implanted source/drain [3,4]. In this work, for the first time, we investigate the short channel GIDL characteristics of surface-channel strained-Si1-xGex (x=0.27 and 0.5) p-MOSFETs in a finFET architecture using a Si-cap-free surface passivation and ion implant-free raised S/D process. We show devices having a minimum GIDL current of 1nA/um for x=0.27 and 20nA/um for x=0.5 at an operating voltage of VDD=0.8V and an operating temperature of 50°C. In addition, temperature-dependent leakage current measurements demonstrate that the GIDL caused by band-to-band tunneling (BTBT) is the dominant leakage mechanism as compared to trap-assisted tunneling (TAT) for both cases.","PeriodicalId":293780,"journal":{"name":"72nd Device Research Conference","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128600008","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 maximize robustness, inductive and capacitive coupling has been explored, avoiding the need for metallurgical bonding [1]. To minimize the number of interfaces, a method to access and readout individual sensors via minimal coupling channels, is crucial. In this abstract, we present a thin-film transistor (TFT) based scanning circuit that requires only three capacitively-coupled control signals from the IC to sequentially access an arbitrarily large number of LAE sensors, enabling a single readout interface (Fig. 1).
