چکیده
A comprehensive study on the ternary dielectric, LaGdO₃, synthesized and qualified in our laboratory as a novel high-k dielectric material for logic and memory device applications in terms of its excellent features that include a high linear dielectric constant (k) of ~22 and a large energy bandgap of ~5.6 eV, resulting in sufficient electron and hole band offsets of ~2.57 eV and ~1.91 eV, respectively, on silicon, good thermal stability with Si and lower gate leakage current densities within the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors (ITRS) specified limits at the sub-nanometer electrical functional thickness level, which are desirable for advanced complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS), bipolar (Bi) and BiCMOS chips applications, is presented in this review article.

Impact of Device Parameters on the Reliability of the Magnetic Tunnel Junction Based Implication Logic Gates
Non-volatile logic is a promising solution to overcome the leakage power issue in the off-state [1], which has become an important obstacle to scaling of CMOS technology. Magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ)-based logic has a great potential, because of the non-volatility, unlimited endurance, CMOS compatibility, and fast switching speed of the MTJ devices [2]. In our previous work [3], we have shown...
متن کاملThe mechanism of electroforming of metal oxide memristive switches.
Metal and semiconductor oxides are ubiquitous electronic materials. Normally insulating, oxides can change behavior under high electric fields--through 'electroforming' or 'breakdown'--critically affecting CMOS (complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor) logic, DRAM (dynamic random access memory) and flash memory, and tunnel barrier oxides. An initial irreversible electroforming process has been ...

متن کاملSemiconductor Flash Memory Scaling Semiconductor Flash Memory Scaling Abstract Semiconductor Flash Memory Scaling
Semiconductor flash memory is an indispensable component of modern electronic systems. The minimum feature size of an individual CMOSFET has shrunk to 15nm with an equivalent gate oxide thickness (EOT) of 0.8nm in 2001. However, semiconductor flash memory scaling is far behind CMOS logic device scaling. For example, the EOT of the gate stack in semiconductor flash memory is still more than 10nm...
