Gold (Au) nanoparticles with particle size of about 3.3nm were synthesized by chemical reduction method. Then the self-assembled gold nanoparticles were attached to 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (APTMS) modified silicon oxide substrates by the spin coating method. With the spin coating method, the gold nanoparticles can be fabricated onto 5.0 nm thermally grown silicon oxide with highly packing density of 1×1012cm−2 in a short processing time. Finally, the sol-gel derived HfO2 layer was spin coated to construct a Si/SiO2/Au nanoparticles/HfO2 structure. The MOS structure embedded with Au nanoparticles showed well defined counterclockwise C-V hysteresis curves which indicating a good memory effect. The flat-band voltage shift was about 2.7 V at a swapping voltage between ±5V. Furthermore, the MOS structure embedded with Au nanoparticles behaved a desirable retention characteristic up to 104s. We have succeeded to fabricate the Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor capacitor structure (Si/SiO2/Au nanoparticles/HfO2) by a spin coating method. The spin coating method has many advantages like short fabrication time, high uniformity, and better reproducibility when compared with the traditional immersion method. Therefore, the spin coating method has the potential to be applied to nanofabrication processes in mass production.","PeriodicalId":6390,"journal":{"name":"2010 3rd International Nanoelectronics Conference (INEC)","volume":"3 1","pages":"710-711"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88197919","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}

CoPt films with a thickness about 20 nm and Ag underlayers with a thickness about 70 nm are easy to obtain a well ordering degree and a perpendicular magnetic anisotropy after annealing at 700 °C for 30 min. CoPt/Ag films with a large perpendicular coercivity in the range of 13.5–14.0 kOe and a perpendicular squareness of 0.97 were obtained after annealing at 700 °C for 30 min. Ag underlayer is beneficial to enhance the perpendicular coercivity (Hc⊥) and perpendicular squareness (S⊥) of CoPt film significantly.

The electrodes array are designed with different electrode gaps, from 3 to 20 µm, every electrode has its own address. In order to limit the SWCNTs to be deposited within the electrodes area, we designed a deposition window on the silicon chip surface by the optical lithography. Then the diluted SWCNTs solution was dropped onto the limited window. By setting a voltage (10 V, 100 kHz) between a specific source electrode and the shared drain electrode, the SWCNTs can be aligned evenly within the pair of electrodes via the dielectrophoresis process.
