This paper will discuss advantages and challenges of several promising NVM devices, as well as their potential applications. Changing market trends toward mobile, IoT, and data-centric applications create new opportunities for NVMs. High-performance NVMs may enable novel architectures and designs, e.g., more uniform memory hierarchy, co-located logic and memory, and fine-grained power gating. Storage-class memories based on high-density NVMs could fill the performance and density gap between memory and storage. Some unique characteristics of emerging NVMs can be utilized to extend their applications beyond memory space, e.g., synaptic functions, security elements, etc.","PeriodicalId":332857,"journal":{"name":"2015 45th European Solid State Device Research Conference (ESSDERC)","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126258497","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}

Coupling between electrical and fluidic domains is implemented by developing an organic actuator compact model. The actuator model is based on force balance spring-mass-damper system equation. Fluid compact model is derived from mass transport equation. The actuator and the fluid models are connected using circuit network. As an example, we applied the modeling framework for designing and optimizing an electrically driven blood flow system. We also compared the modeled results with finite element method (FEM) based numerical simulation.","PeriodicalId":332857,"journal":{"name":"2015 45th European Solid State Device Research Conference (ESSDERC)","volume":"71 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127913030","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 SBDs were realized without additional process steps using the titanium silicide (TiSi) phase of the standard contact formation for the anode Schottky barrier. We observe a specific parameter degradation after reverse anode voltage operation. Different parameters as series resistance Rs, forward and leakage currents (IA, Ir) and design parameters like anode area, contact edge lengths and corners were evaluated in order to decrease this degradation. The on-resistance Ron and capacitance Coff were extracted by s-parameter measurements and show an obvious decreased degradation. Finally maximum reverse operating voltages for a ten year life time and a maximum change of 10% for critical parameters were extrapolated for the worst operation conditions.","PeriodicalId":332857,"journal":{"name":"2015 45th European Solid State Device Research Conference (ESSDERC)","volume":"75 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128220292","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}

Time-dependent variability (reliability variability) is an emerging trend that needs to be considered in circuit design as well. This phenomenon in deeply scaled devices can be best understood within the so-called defect-centric picture in terms of an ensemble of individual defects and their time, voltage, and temperature dependent properties. The properties of gate oxide defects are discussed and it is shown how these properties can be used to construct time-dependent variability distributions and can be propagated up to transistor-level circuits.","PeriodicalId":332857,"journal":{"name":"2015 45th European Solid State Device Research Conference (ESSDERC)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121357182","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}
