In order to prevent these undesirable effects, optimal process conditions have been addressed.","PeriodicalId":6433,"journal":{"name":"2010 Silicon Nanoelectronics Workshop","volume":"24 23 1","pages":"1-2"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88697298","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 cannot be simply explained by the termination of dangling bonds or defects just at Ge interface. It is inferred that relatively long range (∼ 2 nm) interaction between metal and Ge might be involved in the FLP and its alleviation.","PeriodicalId":6433,"journal":{"name":"2010 Silicon Nanoelectronics Workshop","volume":"333 1","pages":"1-2"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79731781","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 vision for such a future memory technology involves a cross-point memory array that will be stackable in the back end CMOS flow and will be scalable to the 10nm half-pitch and below. Some of these memories, depending upon their improved performance over NAND Flash, may also have their unique position in the overall memory hierarchy of a compute system.","PeriodicalId":6433,"journal":{"name":"2010 Silicon Nanoelectronics Workshop","volume":"9 1","pages":"1-2"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80517636","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 Si-(100) and Ge-(111) surface show lower Vth sensitivity to tch variation as compared with other orientations.

High electron mobility and low effective mass resulting in a very high injection velocity and low backscattering promise high device performance [2] at a low supply voltage. Various high-к dielectrics have been developed in order to meet the gate stack requirements of III–V MOSFETs [3]. However the introduction of III–V materials into CMOS requires transistor architectures that can take full advantage of the high mobility in the channel, simultaneously neutralising some of the potentially detrimental effects. Among such architectures, the Implant-Free Quantum-Well (IF-QW) transistor [4] offers interesting technological and performance advantages and tradeoffs (Fig. 1.). The IF-QW device features overgrown, heavily doped Source/Drain (S/D) contacts as a replacement of the conventional implanted junctions. The confinement of the carriers in the quantum well in combination with the p-type substrate doping below the channel provides excellent electrostatic integrity.","PeriodicalId":6433,"journal":{"name":"2010 Silicon Nanoelectronics Workshop","volume":"23 1","pages":"1-2"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83967580","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}
