The integration of sensors, RF circuits, and other functionalities with electronics is enabled by innovations in packaging, three-dimensional integration, and most importantly through the fabrication of multiple components and features on silicon using established technology. With the application of semiconductor metal oxide (SMO) thin films, there is potential for the integration of gas sensors with processing electronics. This manuscript describes SMO gas sensors, their fabrication, and operating techniques which require high temperatures and therefore an integrated microheater. Microheaters require the fabrication of a membrane in order to isolate the high temperature component from other circuitry. Finally, the manuscript looks at recent achievements in engineering of SMO films and in understanding and modeling their sensing mechanism.","PeriodicalId":391606,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 31st International Conference on Microelectronics (MIEL)","volume":"2015 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132827200","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 main goal is geometrical structuring of the piezoelectric material to obtain higher piezoelectric voltage per unit volume in comparison with thin non-structured film from the same material. This is possible due to template properties of porous anodic aluminum oxide (AAO). It was found that KNbO3 grown by sputtering in the nanopores of AAO generates an effective piezoelectric voltage of 410 mV from volume of 0.001 cm3 at mass load of 40 g and frequency of 50 Hz. For comparison, non-structured films with thickness lower than 200 nm and area resulting in a volume of 0.00006 cm3 the generated voltage was 1.78 mV, which means that this type of nanostructuring leading to two orders of magnitude increase of the surface-to-volume ration enhances the piezoelectric response 2.3 times.","PeriodicalId":391606,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 31st International Conference on Microelectronics (MIEL)","volume":"72 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122092364","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 results show that EPAD with zero bias have the sensitivity of 9.2 mV/Gy and low fading. EPADs with a higher initial threshold voltage show very good linearity with the radiation dose. After its annealing at 70 °C there is a visible recovery of transfer characteristics due to a parasitic parallel resistive path that occurs during irradiation. Apart from that, the threshold voltage is slightly recovered. The programming time of an EPAD increases with the absorbed dose and depends on gate biasing during irradiation.","PeriodicalId":391606,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 31st International Conference on Microelectronics (MIEL)","volume":"89 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115318460","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}
