By this method we explored the origins of drain disturb of Nanoscale Flash Memory. Our results indicate that, under channel ionized secondary electron (CHISEL) injection operation, drain disturb originates from both drain side band-to-band tunneling (∼0.66 V) and source-drain leakage (∼0.4 V) when NOR Flash scales into 65 nm, which means to suppress drain disturb it is important to decrease source-drain leakage as well as drain junction leakage during nanoscale Flash cell design.","PeriodicalId":6433,"journal":{"name":"2010 Silicon Nanoelectronics Workshop","volume":"53 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":"81507938","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}

Transport through donor bands is observed in [110] Si:P NW at low temperature. The semi-metallic conductance computed in the ballistic regime agrees well with the experiment. Sensitivity of the NW properties on doping constant and placement disorder on the channel is addressed.

The resultant increase in power consumption density limits the overall performance. Therefore, alternative materials and devices are required that support steep sub-threshold slopes and low-voltage operation. The tunnel FET (TFET) is regarded as the most promising candidate because it is based on gate-controlled band-to-band tunneling in a p-i-n+ structure and thus can break the 60 mV/dec limit of conventional FETs [1]. Implementing the TFET principle in the nanowire (NW) geometry provides optimum electrostatic control. Here we demonstrate controlled in-situ doping of silicon (Si) NWs, the effect of scaling on the active number of doping atoms in the NW and the implementation of a Si NW TFET.","PeriodicalId":6433,"journal":{"name":"2010 Silicon Nanoelectronics Workshop","volume":"40 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":"85504832","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}
