In addition to this, emerging technologies, especially in the Internet-of-Things domain require very long battery life time to be regarded as useful by their potential users. Energy harvesting methods which are used for extending the battery life or battery-free operation have been long studied by researchers. With the utilization of FD-SOI technology which can significantly reduce the leakage current in the stand-by mode of the electronic devices, more efficient energy harvesting power management integrated circuits can be designed. In this work, we present the design of an energy harvesting circuit which is optimized to benefit from the low leakage current characteristics of FD-SOI transistor.","PeriodicalId":383788,"journal":{"name":"2018 Joint International EUROSOI Workshop and International Conference on Ultimate Integration on Silicon (EUROSOI-ULIS)","volume":"227 23","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132443298","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, a rapid growth of the dynamic and stand-by power due to transistor leakages becomes a pressing issue. A promising way to slow down this trend is to introduce non-volatility. The development of an electrically addressable non-volatile memory combining high speed and high endurance is essential to achieve these goals. It is particularly promising to employ non-volatility in IoT and automotive applications, as well as in the main computer memory as a replacement of conventional volatile CMOS-based DRAM. To further reduce the energy consumption, it is essential to replace SRAM in modern hierarchical multi-level processor memory structure with a non-volatile memory technology. The spin-orbit torque magnetic random access memory (SOT-MRAM) combines non-volatility, high speed, and high endurance and is thus suitable for applications in caches. However, its development is still hindered by relatively high switching currents. Several paths to reduce the switching current in an in-plane SOT-MRAM structure are analyzed. The switching by means of two orthogonal current pulses complemented with an interface-induced perpendicular magnetic anisotropy allows reducing the switching current significantly for achieving sub-500ps switching.","PeriodicalId":383788,"journal":{"name":"2018 Joint International EUROSOI Workshop and International Conference on Ultimate Integration on Silicon (EUROSOI-ULIS)","volume":"07 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123370040","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}

With optimized etching conditions, sub-60 nm diameter Ge nanowires are guaranteed while mitigating micro-trenching and under-cutting effects. To further shrink the NW diameter, digital etching is followed including multiple cycles of self-limited O2 plasma oxidation and diluted HF rinsing. O2 plasma is also utilized for surface passivation in Ge MOScaps to improve the high-k/Ge interface. These NWs form the base of vertical transistors which are simulated by TCAD tools here.
