The maximum oscillation frequency (f/sub max/) for NMOSFET is improved around 7% by changing the buried oxide (BOX) thickness from 400 nm to 150 nm because the self-heating effect is suppressed, and is improved around 5% by changing the substrate resistivity from 10 /spl Omega/cm to 1000 /spl Omega/cm because the power loss is reduced. In this work, the wafer engineering which consists of 1) <100>-channel, 2) optimization of BOX, and 3) high resistivity substrate, is proposed to improve the RF performance of the CMOSFET.","PeriodicalId":74909,"journal":{"name":"Technical digest.

Although the neural wiring from eye to brain is intact, these patients lack photoreceptor activity. It is the ultimate goal of this proposal to restore photoreceptor activity to these patients using PSI as the optical trigger. In principle, the approach should work. PSI is a robust integral membrane molecular photovoltaic device. Depending on orientation, it can depolarize or hyperpolarize the cell membrane with sufficient voltage to trigger an action potential.","PeriodicalId":74909,"journal":{"name":"Technical digest.

From these experimental results, it is inferred that nitrogen-originated NBT degradation dominates NBT degradation in SiON.

Due to its architecture and to the continuity between SD areas and the bulk, SON transistors allow deep silicidation processing down to the gate oxide, meaning that no more polysilicon is left. SON PMOS devices were performed with 55 nm CoSi/sub 2/ gate length with 5 nm of Si-channel thickness, and show excellent performances (350 /spl mu/A//spl mu/m I/sub on/ with only 0.1 nA I/sub off/ at -1.4 V with T/sub ox/=20 /spl Aring/).
