In this work, we developed two methods to extract the RTN signal parameters. The first method is an algorithm based on Hidden Markov Model (HMM), a tool widely used to analyze stochastic signals. The second method is an algorithm based on the discretization of measurements. These algorithms perform the extraction of RTN signal parameters from synthetic and experimental data measured in electronic devices, such as ReRAM and MOSFET. In addition, a comparison between the methods is carried out. Finally, by comparing the results extracted by each method, a performance analysis of both implemented algorithms, in the presence of Gaussian (white) noise is made.","PeriodicalId":318195,"journal":{"name":"2021 35th Symposium on Microelectronics Technology and Devices (SBMicro)","volume":"32 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":"133918286","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}

Several approaches have been done to reach this challenges, as for instance, the use of different fabrication processes, new transistors structures (bi and tridimensional), new materials etc. An alternative strategy, in which it is capable of reducing the total die area, mainly of the analog Complementary MOS (CMOS) integrated circuits (ICs), without affecting their electrical performance, is the use non-standard gate geometries (Diamond, Octo, Ellipsoidal, Fish, Wave etc.) for MOSFETs, instead of the rectangular one commonly used today. Previous studies have shown that by using Wave MOSFETs as a basic cell of the Planar Power MOSFETs (PPM) was able to reduce their total die areas. Therefore, the motivation of this paper is to verify by experimental data, the electrical behavior of PPM implemented with Wave layout style in relation to the one of PPM layouted with the conventional rectangular MOSFETs. The CMOS ICs technology used to manufacture these devices was of 350nm-ON Semiconductor. The main finding of this work is that the Wave MOSFET used as a base cell of a PPM (Wave PPM) present a similar electrical characteristics, but it is responsible to reduce in 9.7% its die area in comparison to the one found in PPM layouted with conventional MOSFETs and therefore, the Wave layout style is an alternative layout to reduce the total die area of PPM.","PeriodicalId":318195,"journal":{"name":"2021 35th Symposium on Microelectronics Technology and Devices (SBMicro)","volume":"55 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":"130498784","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 structural characterization reveals the successful deposition of TiO2 into the porous structure, which was also confirmed by the functional group analysis by the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Concerning the electrical features, significant differences were found in charge transport behavior so that higher current intensity was recorded in the device based on porous silicon, despite its higher a.c resistance measured by impedance analysis. The fitting procedure of the current-voltage curves assuming the system is composed of three diodes points out that the possible cause for this behavior could be attributed to the role of the surface states in lowering the barrier potential.
