ABSTRACTArsenic precipitates can be formed in GaAs using arsenic implantation and annealing, thereby producing very high resistivity (surface or buried) GaAs layers. Arsenic-implanted materials are similar to low-temperature (LT) GaAs:As buffer layers grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) which are used for eliminating side- and backgating problems in GaAs circuits. Arsenic implantation is not only a simple and economical technique for device isolation but also can improve the quality of individual devices. Through surface passivation, arsenic implantation can reduce gate-to-drain leakage in and enhance the breakdown voltage of GaAs-based metal semiconductor field-effect transistors (MESFETs) and high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs). High resistivity thin surface layers may be used as gate insulators for GaAs-based metal insulator semiconductor (MIS) FETs, leading to the development of a novel GaAs-based complementary metal insulator semiconductor (CMIS) technology like advanced Si-based complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology but with higher radiation hardness and operational speed.

In this paper we demonstrate for the first time that self-aligned metal insulator semiconductor field effect transistors (MISFETs) can be realized on InP by incorporating an effective surface passivation technique in the fabrication process. A chemical sulfur treatment is used to passivate the InP – indirect plasma silicon nitride interface that results in interface state densities (Dit) in the low 1011/cm2 eV. It is observed that while passivated self-aligned MISFETs subjected to post-passivation high-temperature process cycles up to 700 °C exhibit acceptable transistor characteristics, unpassivated MISFETs using the same process do not show any transistor action. The passivation procedure has been successfully used to demonstrate for the first time a self-aligned InP–InGaAs–InP heterojunction insulated gate FET. We conclude from this work that interface engineering techniques like the one used in this study would be essential to realize and (or) improve the performance of self-aligned FET structures based on InP. The fabrication process described here can be directly applied to similar interface engineering techniques.

In this paper, we presented Hall magnetic sensors based on nano-polysilcon thin film transistors(TFTs). These sensors are fabricated on the <100> orientation high resistivity silicon substratesby using complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology and adopting thenano-polysilicon thin films with thickness of 82 nm as the channel layers of TFTs. The influence ofthe channel layer doping type and channel length-width radio of TFT on sensor's sensitivity was investigated.When the supply voltage is 5.0 V, the maximum measured sensitivity of p-type channel andn-type channel sensors are about 8.5 mV/T and 25.6 mV/T, respectively. These experimental resultsmean that nano-polysilicon thin films present an application on Hall magnetic sensors.

GaN-based double gate metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistors (DG-MOSFETs) in sub-10 nm regime have been designed for the next generation logic applications. To rigorously evaluate the device performance, non-equilibrium Green’s function formalism are performed using SILVACO ATLAS. The device is turn on at gate voltage, VGS =1 V while it is going to off at VGS = 0 V. The ON-state and OFF-state drain currents are found as 12 mA/μm and ~10-8 A/μm, respectively at the drain voltage, VDS = 0.75 V. The sub-threshold slope (SS) and drain induced barrier lowering (DIBL) are ~69 mV/decade and ~43 mV/V, which are very compatible with the CMOS technology. To improve the figure of merits of the proposed device, source to gate (S-G) and gate to drain (G-D) distances are varied which is mentioned as underlap. The lengths are maintained equal for both sides of the gate. The SS and DIBL are decreased with increasing the underlap length (LUN). Though the source to drain resistance is increased for enhancing the channel length, the underlap architectures exhibit better performance due to reduced capacitive coupling between the contacts (S-G and G-D) which minimize the short channel effects. Therefore, the proposed GaN-based DG-MOSFETs as one of the excellent promising candidates to substitute currently used MOSFETs for future high speed applications.

Spintronic based embedded magnetic random access memory (eMRAM) is becoming a foundry validated solution for the next-generation nonvolatile memory applications. The hybrid complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS)/magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) integration has been selected as a proper candidate for energy harvesting, area-constraint and energy-efficiency Internet of Things (IoT) systems-on-chips. Multi-VDD (low supply voltage) techniques were adopted to minimize energy dissipation in MRAM, at the cost of reduced writing/sensing speed and margin. Meanwhile, yield can be severely affected due to variations in process parameters. In this work, we conduct a thorough analysis of MRAM sensing margin and yield. We propose a current-mode sensing amplifier (CSA) named 1D high-sensing 1D margin, high 1D speed and 1D stability (HMSS-SA) with reconfigured reference path and pre-charge transistor. Process-voltage-temperature (PVT) aware analysis is performed based on an MTJ compact model and an industrial 28 nm CMOS technology, explicitly considering low-voltage (0.7 V), low tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) (50%) and high temperature (85 °C) scenario as the worst sensing case. A case study takes a brief look at sensing circuits, which is applied to in-memory bit-wise computing. Simulation results indicate that the proposed high-sensing margin, high speed and stability sensing-sensing amplifier (HMSS-SA) achieves remarkable performance up to 2.5 GHz sensing frequency. At 0.65 V supply voltage, it can achieve 1 GHz operation frequency with only 0.3% failure rate.
