This work investigates the channel thickness dependency of high-k gate dielectric-based complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) inverter circuit built using a conventional double-gate metal gate oxide semiconductor field-effect transistor (DG-MOSFET). It is espied that the use of high-k dielectric as a gate oxide in n/p DG-MOSFET based CMOS inverter results in a high noise margin as well...

Time-dependent dielectric breakdown (TDDB) characteristics of La2O3-doped high-k dielectric in Hf-based high-k/TaN metal gate stack were studied. Unlike the abrupt breakdown in the conventional SiO2, dielectric breakdown behaviors of La-incorporated HfON and HfSiON dielectrics show progressive breakdown characteristics. Moreover, the extracted Weibull slope β of breakdown distribution is in the...

Methanolic reduction of [PdCl2(CH3CN)2] on a [Ni(2,5-di(1H-pyrazol-4-yl)benzenesulfonate)2] metal organic framework gives rise to Pd(2+)/Pd(0) nanocomposites with Suzuki and carbonylative Suzuki heterogeneous catalytic activities.

Here, we report a simple, cheap, and rapid synthesis method combined with physical and chemical routes for porous structured metal-based carbon nanocomposites, which can be applicable to anode materials for high performance Li-ion batteries.

A facile and universal approach to prepare graphene-based nanocomposites by in situ nucleation and growth of diverse noble metals, metal oxides and semiconducting nanoparticles on the surface of RGO is proposed.

CoFe/MgO nanocomposites have been prepared from single-source inorganic layered double hydroxide (LDH) precursors via a H(2) gas-phase reduction; the metal composition can be freely manipulated by tailoring the molecular composition of the LDH precursors.
