This is most apparent in the search for the ideal high-k/metal gate stack as replacement for conventional SiON/Poly-Si gate stacks. In this paper, some of the key advances that have made high-k/metal gate stacks a reality will be reviewed. The innovations included optimized metal and interfaces for improved electron mobility in HfO2/metal gate stacks and insertion of nanoscale gp. IIA and IIIB elements layers between the HfO2 and metal electrode stack for band-edge nMOSFETs. Significant hurdles prevented similar solutions for pMOSFET stacks, primarily due to the presence of thermally activated point defects. However, by careful engineering optimization, pMOSFETs have also been realized, resulting in scalable high performance CMOS using High-k/metal gate stacks.","PeriodicalId":399603,"journal":{"name":"2007 International Workshop on Physics of Semiconductor Devices","volume":"2003 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125824475","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, power saving should be achieved without compromising high performance or minimum area, thereby creating a new design culture for VLSI. Power consideration has been the ultimate design criteria in some special portable applications like pacemakers, mobile sets and wristwatches. As an attempt towards this, in the present work parallel back propagation artificial neural networks are employed to optimize and predict the various system parameter of a (In, Ga)As nanodevice so that the relevant device will exhibit better high frequency response and will be power efficient. Moreover prediction time is reduced using parallelism in ANN thereby making the design less time consuming.","PeriodicalId":399603,"journal":{"name":"2007 International Workshop on Physics of Semiconductor Devices","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131619111","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}
