Addressing the time-zero fluctuations due to variability of physical dimensions and doping profiles, which remain static over time, as well as the time-dependent fluctuations, such as Random Telegraph Noise (RTN), is, therefore, imperative for proper circuit design. In this work, we study how the observation window impacts gate delay variability due to RTN, illustrating how it affects the observed variance of the gate delay taken over time. Our study indicates that the relation between propagation delay and trap time constant is a proper measure (benchmark) to evaluate the time constant of the fastest trap that induces time dependent variability. And that observation duration (measurement duration) is a proper measure (benchmark) to evaluate the time constant of the slowest trap that induces time dependent variability.","PeriodicalId":318195,"journal":{"name":"2021 35th Symposium on Microelectronics Technology and Devices (SBMicro)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131172295","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}

Methodology for producing piezoresistive films from pastes with micrographite particles includes the use of a sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (NaCMC) aqueous solutions during preparation of pastes. It was verified that NaCMC plays a decisive role in interactions between graphite particles and glassy matrix, providing good wettability of glassy matrix particles and homogeneous distribution of micrographite particles in the pastes.

The quantum confinement is present in all devices, but only for the h = 5nm case its contribution for the threshold voltage increase is more relevant. This increment is constant with the temperature, but it becomes proportionally more important for higher temperatures due to the VT decrease in such conditions. The subthreshold swing is not affected by the quantum model and its value is close to (kT/q)ln(10) in all cases, with the best results obtained for the lowest device height.","PeriodicalId":318195,"journal":{"name":"2021 35th Symposium on Microelectronics Technology and Devices (SBMicro)","volume":"09 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127206297","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}
