Crystal structure change with the temperature was investigated for 3 m-thick (100)/(001)-oriented epitaxial PbTiO3 films grown on SrTiO3 substrates. Complex strain-relaxeddomain structure labeled as Type III was observed anddirectly transformed to the cubic phase at about 490°C. This transition temperature and the lattice parameter (a and c- axes) change with the temperature well agreed with the reporteddata for the PbTiO3 powders. The volume fraction of the (001) orientations, Vc, was almost independent of the temperature up to the phase transition temperature. The tilting angles of the spots in Xrd plan view were almost the same with the estimated ones from the lattice parameters and the Vc. This suggests that the angle of the domains identified by the domain structure in Type III. This structure is mainly determined by the tetragonality, (c/a ratio) and the Vc.

A multiphysics model for Phase Change Memory (PCM) is calibrated on a large set of experimental data. Critical material and interface properties such as electrical and thermal resistivities and theirdependence on temperature are extracted from data or fitting electrical characteristics with numerical simulations. The model is shown to match with a unique set of parameters experimental data from 90 nm and 45 nm technology nodes. The calibrated model is then exploited to perform a sensitivity analysis of key cell characteristics to geometry and material properties variations. Furthermore, the model is used to predict performance of a scaleddown cell suitable for the 32 nm technology node and the results demonstrate the consistent scalability of PCM with respect to the technology node.

Incorporation of platinum (Pt) into nickel silicide (NiSi) improves the reliability and thermal stability of electrodes in Si MOSFETs. Increasing the Pt content is desirable for further scaled CMOS, but incorporation of more Pt would tremendously increase the material cost. In addition, since Pt is one of the key materials for eco-technology such as catalyst for exhaust absorption and so on, reduction of the use of Pt whose amount is limited is essential for ecology. recently palladium (Pd), which has similar chemical properties to those of Pt, has been attracting interest as a substitute of Pt. Several works have pointed out that NiPdSi bulk film has superior thermal stability to NiSi. However, its potentiality in fully integrated CMOS devices has not been studied yet. In this work, we investigate the detailed properties of NiPdSi on fully integrated CMOS structures fabricated with the advanced process technology as a candidate of the alternative silicide material for NiPtSi.

In this paper we present a testbed for the functional and performance verification and validation of product level overlay multicast (or ALM in short) applications which is a complex task due to humongous test patterns. Structured, systematic and simplified test environment is vital for product level quality validation. The key features of this testbed are network emulation, automated test scenario execution, log collection and testbed/real environment interconnectivity. The testbed uses StarBEd as its mother testbed and netem as the network emulator. The key contributions of this work are calibration of netem in term of network emulation and establishing an architecture to use netem and StarBEd for ALM system verification. The calibration of netem was carried out up to 30 pipes (logical links) and the results show the network emulation can be done at maximum 1.2% packet loss. One of the simple ALM verification experiments executed on the testbed took only 43 hours for execution completion compared to human execution which would take 15 weeks.

In this work we present a detailed investigation of TANOS memory reliability, focusing on issues raised by Al 2 O 3 trapping/detrapping and leakage. These effects are investigated as a function of alumina thickness, electric field and temperature, comparing experimental and modeling results for trap parameters extraction. For TANOS devices, Al 2 O 3 charge storage modifies program and erase saturation level particularly when higher Al 2 O 3 thikness are considered. Threshold instability in early steps for endurance andretarded behavior forretention can be also ascribed to the Al 2 O 3 trapping. Moreover, Al 2 O 3 layer has been shown to provide the main leakage path for bottom oxides thickness in the 4.5 nm or above range.

This paper presents a detailed experimental investigation of the cycling-induced threshold voltage instability of deca-nanometer NANd Flash arrays, focusing on its dependence on cycling time and temperature. When the array is brought to a programmed state after cycling, instability mainly shows up as a negative shift of its threshold voltage cumulative distribution, increasing with time andresulting from partial recovery of cell damage created in the previous cycling period. The threshold voltage loss displays a strong dependence not only on the tunnel oxide electric fieldduring retention, but also on the cycling conditions. In particular, performing cycling over a longer time interval or at higher temperatures delays the threshold voltage transients on the logarithmic time axis. The delay factor is studied as a function of the cycling duration and temperature on 60 and 41 nm technologies, extracting the parameter values required for a universal damage-recovery metric for NANd.

This paper presents a novel junction termination technique, namedrecess Junction Termination (rJT), for powerdevices. This new junction termination improves the breakdown voltage of a planar junction by a silicon recess located to create a positive bevel, which reduces the peak of electric field. The rJT can reduce a thermal budget for the rESUrF (rEduced SUrface Field) layer by the silicon recess, and has compatibility with a fine-pitch process due to a planarization process using Chemical Mechanical Polish (CMP) treatments. After numerous simulations to optimize the structure parameters, we have succeeded in obtaining sufficient blocking capabilities of pn-rJT-diodes, the voltage ratings of which are from 75 V to 1700 V.
