A critical issue with the SiC UMOSFET is the need to develop a shielding structure for the gate oxide at the trench bottom without any increase in the JFET resistance. This study describes our new UMOSFET named IE-UMOSFET, which we developed to cope with this trade-off. A simulation showed that a low on-resistance is accompanied by an extremely low gate oxide field even with a negative gate voltage. The low RonA was sustained as Vth increases. The RonA values at VG=25 V (Eox=3.2 MV/cm) and VG=20V (Eox=2.5 MV/cm), respectively, for the 3mm x 3mm device were 2.4 and 2.8 mWcm2 with a lowest Vth of 2.4 V, and 3.1 and 4.4 mWcm2 with a high Vth of 5.9 V.

We investigated the impact of an initial lanthanum oxide (La2O3) thickness and forming gas annealing (FGA) conditions on the MOSFET performance. The FGA has been shown to dramatically improve the threshold voltage (VT) stability of 4H-SiC MOSFETs. The FGA process leads to low VTshift and high field effect mobility due to reduction of the interface states density as well as traps by passivating the dangling bonds and active traps in the Lanthanum Silicate dielectrics. By optimizing the La2O3interfacial layer thickness and FGA condition, SiC MOSFETs with high threshold voltage and high mobility while maintaining minimal VTshift are realized.

Transparent conductive oxides (TCOs) known as indium tin oxide (ITO) and fluorine tin oxide (FTO) deposited on glass were compared by different techniques and also as anodes in organic light-emitting diode (OLED) devices with same structure. ITO produced at laboratory was compared with the commercial one manufactured by different companies: Diamond Coatings, Displaytech and Sigma-Aldrich, and FTO produced at laboratory was compared with the commercial one manufactured by Flexitec Company. FTO thin films produced at laboratory presented the lowest performance measured by Hall effect technique and also by I-V curve of OLED device with low electrical current and high threshold voltage. ITO thin films produced at laboratory presented elevated sheet resistance in comparison with commercial ITOs (approximately one order of magnitude greater), that can be related by a high number of defects as discontinuity of the chemical lattice or low crystalline structure. In the assembly of OLED devices with ITO and FTO produced at laboratory, neither presented luminances. ITO manufactured by Sigma-Aldrich company presented better electrical and optical characteristics, as low electrical resistivity, good wettability, favorable transmittance, perfect physicalchemical stability and lowest threshold voltage (from 3 to 4.5 V) for OLED devices.

A high threshold voltage (VTH) normally off GaN MISHEMTs with a uniform threshold voltage distribution (VTH = 4.25 ± 0.1 V at IDS = 1 μA/mm) were demonstrated by the selective area ohmic regrowth technique together with an Si-rich LPCVD-SiNx gate insulator. In the conventional GaN MOSFET structure, the carriers were induced by the inversion channel at a high positive gate voltage. However, this design sacrifices the channel mobility and reliability because a huge number of carriers are beneath the gate insulator directly during operation. In this study, a 3-nm ultra-thin Al0.25Ga0.75N barrier was adopted to provide a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) channel underneath the gate terminal and selective area MOCVD-regrowth layer to improve the ohmic contact resistivity. An Si-rich LPCVD-SiNx gate insulator was employed to absorb trace oxygen contamination on the GaN surface and to improve the insulator/GaN interface quality. Based on the breakdown voltage, current density, and dynamic RON measured results, the proposed LPCVD-MISHEMT provides a potential candidate solution for switching power electronics.

ZnO-based varistor samples with a relatively high Sb2O3 to Bi2O3 ratio of 5 were fired at 1200 °C and found to have a high threshold voltage (VT) of 280 V/mm and a low energy-absorption capacity of 50 J/cm3. The introduction of rare-earth oxides (REO) increased the energy-absorption capacity of Pr6O11- and Nd2O3-doped samples to 110 J/cm3 while their threshold voltage (VT) remained slightly above 300 V/mm. Doping with Pr6O11 and Nd2O3 altered the formation of the spinel phase and significantly changed its particle size and distribution which, as a result, had a positive effect on the energy-absorption capacity of the REO-doped samples. Doping with small amounts of Pr6O11 and Nd2O3 appears to be promising for the preparation of ZnO-based varistors with a high breakdown voltage and a high energy absorption capacity.

This paper process a novel design for low power 1-bit CMOS full adder using XNOR and MUX, with reduced number of transistors using GDI cell. The circuits were simulated with supply voltage scaling from 1.2V to 0.6V &0.6V to 0.3V. To achieve the desired performance of power delay product, area, capacitance the transistors with low threshold voltage were used at critical paths and high threshold voltage at non critical paths. The results show the efficiency of the proposed technique in terms of power consumption, delay and area.

Abstract. Dual threshold voltage and forward body bias techniques are effective ways to optimally balance the standby leakage power and performance. In this paper, we propose a novel fine-grained forward body biasing scheme for monotonic static logic circuits. In the proposed scheme, the forward body bias is applied to high threshold voltage of either the pull-up or the pull-down network based on the evaluation transition and the state of operation. This technique improves the low skew NAND and NOR circuit performance by 7% and 11%, high skew NAND and NOR by 8% and 13% respectively. It reduces both active and standby leakage power as compared to monotonic static CMOS with dual-VT technique. The simulations are carried out using 130 nm mixed mode process technology to validate our proposed technique.
