Workfunction Tuning of n-Channel MOSFETs Using Interfacial Yttrium Layer in Fully Silicided Nickel Gate
(2007-01)Continual scaling of the CMOS technology requires thinner gate dielectric to maintain high performance. However, when moving into the sub-45 nm CMOS generation, the traditional poly-Si gate approach cannot effectively ... -
Study of Stress Evolution of Germanium Nanocrystals Embedded in Silicon Oxide Matrix
(2007-01)Germanium (Ge) nanocrystals had been synthesized by annealing co-sputtered SiO₂-Ge in N₂ and/or forming gas (90% N₂ + 10% H₂) at temperatures ranging from 700 to 1000°C from 15 to 60 min. It was concluded that the annealing ... -
Ordering Control of Self-Assembled Colloidal Crystals
(2007-01)Colloidal crystals are 3D nanostructures formed by self assembly of nanoparticles in suspension. The interaction forces between the colloid particles are expected to affect the ordering and the defect density in the resultant ...
