Two different approaches have been demonstrated. The first design is based on the design of a raised-drain structure which results in a low Cgd, and the reduction of source-to-drain leakage. The second design is based on the concept of alignment between the max. electric field and B2BT rate to enhance the performance of TFET. It was demonstrated in an L-gate structure TFET. Both cases show an efficient improvement of the Ion current, lower S.S. and good delay performance. Finally, a bi-directional pass gate has been applied to complementary TFET SRAM to improve the WNM and RSNM, with operation voltage down to 0.3V. This shows great potential of the proposed TFET structure and schemes for ultra-low power applications.","PeriodicalId":416565,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Nanoelectronics Conference (INEC)","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126817330","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}

On one hand, the application of spintronic devices opens new roads to generate and detect microwave in wide frequency range, on the other hand, applying/injection microwave also modulates the spintronic devices properties. In this report, we present our recent work on effects of MW injection on the switching properties of magnetic tunneling junctions (MTJs). Magnetic tunneling junction is a promising device cell choice for spintronic applications, such as magnetic sensors, nonvolatile magnetic random access memories, and magnetic logical. As the MTJ cell size approaches to nanoscale, magnetic materials with large magnetic anisotropy are usually adopted as MTJ magnetic electrodes to keep the thermal stability. This usually inevitably increases magnetization switching field or spin transfer torque switching current density. Therefore, searching methods to assist MTJ magnetization switching becomes important for practical applications. Here, we show that directly injecting microwave current into MTJ and taking advantage of microwave current induced spin transfer torque (STT) effect can assist magnetization switching effectively. Since microwave current rather than MW magnetic field is utilized, it enables us to control the switching assistance electrically and eliminates cross-talking between neighboring cells.","PeriodicalId":416565,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Nanoelectronics Conference (INEC)","volume":"16 5","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114039694","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}

Based on local Fourier transform (LFT), we extract the amplitude of deoxy-Hb concentration signal at 0.1 Hz in the frequency domain and found a phenomenon which is correlated to that accuracy/respond time (accuracy/ RT) was stable when the deoxy-Hb concentration is at low level in the middle.
