Previously, AsTeGeSi-based switches have had key issues with performance degradation over time. This is usually due to changes in the Te concentration in the device active region [1-3]. However, our AsTeGeSiN switches were able to overcome this limitation as well as scale down to 30 nm with an on current of 100 μA (J > 1.1×107A/cm2). Their cycling performance was shown to be greater than 108. Also, we demonstrate a memory cell using a TaOx resistance memory with the AsTeGeSiN select device.","PeriodicalId":6376,"journal":{"name":"2012 International Electron Devices Meeting","volume":"53 1","pages":"2.6.1-2.6.3"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83827805","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}

This is the first time that a 3D NAND Flash can be successfully scaled to below 3Xnm half pitch in one lateral dimension, thus an 8-layer stack device already provides a very cost effective technology with lower cost than the conventional sub-20nm 2D NAND. Our new VG architecture has two key features: (1) To improve the manufacturability a new layout that twists the even/odd BL's (and pages) in the opposite direction (split-page BL) is adopted. This allows the island-gate SSL devices [1] and metal interconnections be laid out in double pitch, creating much larger process window for BL pitch scaling; (2) A novel staircase BL contact formation method using binary sum of only M lithography and etching steps to achieve 2M contacts. This not only allows precise landing of the tight-pitch staircase contacts, but also minimizes the process steps and cost. We have successfully fabricated an 8-layer array using TFT BE-SONOS charge-trapping device.

By enlarging the sensing gate of an extended gate ISFET, a remarkable sensitivity of 130mV/pH is achieved, exceeding the conventional Nernst limit of 59mV/pH. The proposed differential sensing circuit consists of a pair of matching n-channel and p-channel ion sensitive sensors connected in parallel and biased at a matched transconductance bias point. Potential fluctuations in the electrolyte appear as common mode signal to the differential pair and are cancelled by the matched transistors. This novel differential measurement technique eliminates the need for a true reference electrode such as the bulky Ag/AgCl reference electrode and enables the use of the sensor for autonomous and implantable applications.","PeriodicalId":6376,"journal":{"name":"2012 International Electron Devices Meeting","volume":"36 1","pages":"24.7.1-24.7.4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83208056","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}
