This paper presents three new types of pulse quenching mechanism(NMOS-to-PMOS,PMOS-to-NMOS and NMOS-to-NMOS) and verifies them using 3-D TCAD mixed mode simulations at the 90 nm node. The three major contributions of this paper are:(1) with the exception of PMOS-to-PMOS,pulse quenching is also prominent for PMOS-to-NMOS and NMOS-to-NMOS in a 90 nm process.(2) Pulse quenching in general correlates weakly with ion LET,but strongly with incident angle and layout style(*** between transistors and n-well contact area).(3) Compact layout and cascaded inverting stages can be utilized to promote SET pulse quenching in combinatorial circuits.

An attractive+ to graphene for a range of applications is graphene oxide (GO). GO is an insulator because of the hydroxyl, carboxyl, carbonyl and epoxide functional groups presenting on the basal surface or edge and becomes a semiconductor or semimetal as it is reduced back toward graphene. Here we demonstrate that graphene oxide can be reversibly reduced and oxidized in nanometer-scale by applying bias voltages by the nano-tip of conductive atomic force microscopy system. The low resistance state (LRS) when reduced and a high resistance state (HRS) when oxidized can be achieved under the opposite applied bias direction. The LRS (around 10 KΩ and HRS (around 40 M Ω) were stable for more than 10 3 s, and no obvious degradation was observed during the tests. Threshold voltages for reduction and oxidation, which can be considered as the set and reset voltages is around -6.5 V and +7 V, respectively. It is shown that the hydrogen (H+) ions and hydroxyl ions (OH-) dissociated from the water meniscus formed between the tip and GO in ambient condition at room temperature plays an essential role in the resistive memory switching. It is also found that the negative bias is responsible for the reduction, which is related the transition from HRS to LRS, and the positive bias is responsible for the oxidation, which is related the transition from LRS to HRS, respectively. Raman spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy is performed to confirm this resistive memory switching behaviors.

An improved structure of Schottky rectifier, called a trapezoid mesa trench metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) barrier Schottky rectifier (TM-TMBS), is proposed and studied by two-dimensional numerical simulations. Both forward and especially better reverse I-V characteristics, including lower leakage current and higher breakdown voltage, are demonstrated by comparing our proposed TM-TMBS with a regular trench MOS barrier Schottky rectifier (TMBS) as well as a conventional planar Schottky barrier diode rectifier. Optimized device parameters corresponding to the requirement for high breakdown voltage are given. With optimized parameters, TM-TMBS attains a breakdown voltage of 186 V, which is 6.3% larger than that of the optimized TMBS, and a leakage current of 4.3×10^-6 A/cm2, which is 26% smaller than that of the optimized TMBS. The relationship between optimized breakdown voltage and some device parameters is studied. Explanations and design rules are given according to this relationship.

This paper explores two low temperature technological developments related to future n-MOSFETs using III-V semiconductors as channel materials. (1). It was found that Yb-GaAs Schottky contact with RTA at 500°C for 30s has good rectifying characteristics, low effective electron barrier height, low sheet resistivity, atomically sharp junction with GaAs. These properties are suitable for source/drain (S/D) formation in GaAs n-MOSFETs. (2). GaAs MOS capacitors were fabricated by E-gun deposition of LaAlO 3 (LAO) dielectric and PVD deposition of TaN electrode. The capacitors with well-behaved CV characteristics with EOT=3nm, gate leakage currents 7.5×10 -3 A/cm 2 for 500°C RTA treated samples at V fb -1V were achieved.

A 10-bit 80-MS/s opamp-sharing pipelined ADC is implemented in a 0.18μm CMOS. An opamp- sharing MDAC with a switch-embedded dual-input opamp is proposed to eliminate the non-resetting and successive-stage crosstalk problems observed in the conventional opamp-sharing technique. The ADC achieves a peak SNDR of 60.1 dB (ENOB = 9.69 bits) and a peak SFDR of 76 dB, while maintaining more than 9.6 ENOB for the full Nyquist input bandwidth. The core area of the ADC is 1.1 mm2 and the chip consumes 28 mW with a 1.8 V power supply.

The finite element method (FEM) is employed to investigate the solder crack mechanism in wafer level chip scale packaging (WLCSP). The location of the initial crack is calculated and is compared to the experimental one. Moreover, the impact of the following three aspects, e.g. under-bump metallurgy (UBM) materials, solder alloy, and the thickness of the UBM layers on the initial crack growth in solder is investigated by calculating J-integral, respectively, which reflects the possibility of crack growth. It is concluded that the J-integral values in 96.5Sn3.5Ag solder and the Au-Ni-Cu-Ti UBM material are smaller than other cases.
