We investigate atmospheric neutron effects on floating gate cells in MLC NANd Flash memories. Loss of information is shown to occur especially at the highest program levels, but to an extent that does not challenge current error correction capabilities. We discuss the physical mechanisms and analyze scaling trends, which show a rapid increase in sensitivity fordecreasing feature size. A large spread in the cross section is visible from vendor to vendor for comparable feature size.

Colloidal suspensions of spherical crystalline Pt nanoparticles with a narrow size distribution were synthesized using a microwave synthesis process. Analogous Pt-complexes (Pt(dien) 2+ , Pt(trien) 2+ , and Pt(en) 2 2+ . where dien = diethylenetriamine, trien = triethylenetetraamine, en = ethylenediamine) were deposited onto Vulcan XC-72 carbon powder to obtain Pt/C-x catalysts (x = 3, 4, and 22 represents the coordination number of the chelating agent). The Pt/C-x catalysts were evaluated under PEMFC conditions. X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy were used to characterize the Pt/C-x catalysts. It was found that the Pt nanoparticles were uniform in size and highly dispersed on the carbon black supports. The chelating agents were expected to improve the growth of Pt particle size as well as the dispersion of Pt nanoparticles. In the PEMFC experiments, the mass-specific current density and mass-specific powerdensity of the catalysts were as high as that of the commercial 20wt % Pt/C-ETEK catalyst.

The performance andreliability of 3-d NANd cells fabricated by TCAT (Terabit Cell Array Transistor) technology have been improved significantly via a damascened metal gates and a controlled offset between BL contact and select transistor. The damascened metal gate providing sufficiently low resistance is achieved by adopting a novel metal process. Highly suppresseddisturbance property-is achieved by the appropriate offset which reduces the leakage current through the select transistor. It is proved that the TCAT NANd is a manufacturable technology in terms of reliability as well as performance in a channel hole with a diameter of 90nm.

Phase Change Memory (PCM) has emerged as an attractive candidate for next-generation non-volatile memory devices. For these applications, reliability is determined by the ability to retain the state of data in the device and support a specified number of re-writes without failure. In PCM technologies, retention is limited by the meta-stable amorphous state of the cell. For cycling endurance (re-writes), failure occurs due to either void formation in the active material or contamination of the heating element of the cell. With optimized process integration and cell programming, large array devices based on a 90 nm PCM technology are able to support data retention to 10 years at 85°C and greater than 10 6 write cycles.

Microphase separated structures of block copolymer, polystyrene-b-polyisoprene (PS-b-PI, PS = 14%) including non-volatile selective solvent thin films were investigated using grazing incidence small angle X-ray scattering technique. The diethyl phthalate (dEP) was used as a non-volatile selective solvent which solves PS only. The dEP swelled PS phase selectively and the microphase separated structure transited from the PS spherical domain to the lamellardomain with an increase in dEP content in the bulk state. Similarly, the phase separated structure in the thin film prepared by spin cast on a silicon wafer from the mixture of toluene/dEP and block copolymer changed according to the initial dPE concentration. However, the morphologies developed in the thin film were shifted to the structures at lowerdEP concentration than that expected from the initial concentration. Moreover, the cylindrical and lamellardomains were aligned parallel and perpendicularly to the substrate, respectively.

A novel amorphous silicon driving circuitry, operated in Capacitively Coupleddriving (CCd) method, is proposed and analyzed. By employing the circuitry for TFT-LCd gate and storage capacitor lines, line inversion driving mode can be realized with dC voltage on common electrode. With dC voltage on color filter common electrode, a capacitive touch panel is no longer suffered from driving pulse cross-talk in a conventional line inversion TFT-LCd. � 2009 SId.

Negative bias temperature instability (NBTI) strongly limits reliability of PMOS devices by degradation of threshold voltage, subthreshold slope and transconductance. The physical understanding of the NBTI mechanism is essential for searching paths of NBTI alleviation and providing realistic predictions for CMOS reliability. This work presents a new NBTI model based on hole trapping/detrapping accompanied by structural relaxation in the host dielectric. Simulations account for a time and T dependence of the drain current degradation during NBTI stress. dynamic NBTI effects are then explained by alternative hole capture and emission during stress andrelaxation stages. The impact of the activation energy dispersion on relaxation times is finally discussed.

Hot carrier (HC) reliability of gate-all-around twin Si nanowire field effect transistor (GAA TSNWFET) is reported anddiscussed with respect to size and shape of nanowire channel, gate length, thickness and kind of gate dielectric in detail. Smaller nanowire channel size, shorter gate length and thinner gate oxide down to 2 nm thickness show worse hot carrierreliability. The worst V d for 10 years guaranty, 1.31 V, satisfies requirement of ITrS roadmap.
