Non-destructive piezoelectric characterisation of Sc doped aluminium nitride thin films at wafer level

Paul Muralt, Stefan Mertin, Clemens Benedict Nyffeler, Andrea Mazzalai

Scandium doped aluminium nitride (ScAlN) gained much attention during last years, since its piezoelectric response is much enlarged as compared to pure AlN films. Above 30% Sc the films are of high interest for piezoMEMS sensing and actuation, ultrasound g ...

Enhanced piezoelectric properties of c-axis textured aluminium scandium nitride thin films with high scandium content: influence of intrinsic stress and sputtering parameters

Paul Muralt, Gabriel Christmann, Stefan Mertin, Silviu Cosmin Sandu, Vladimir Pashchenko, Clemens Benedict Nyffeler, Mohammad Fazel Parsapour Kolour

Aluminium scandium nitride (ASN) exhibits a largely enhanced piezoelectric response as compared to aluminium nitride (AlN), which makes it an upcoming piezoelectric material for use in next generation RF filters, sensors, actuators and energy harvesting de ...

Graphene Field Effect Devices and Circuits : Theory and Fabrication

Clemens Benedict Nyffeler

Electronics today permeate our life and existence. It has become nearly impossible to evade any dependence on electronic devices that surround us every day - computers, phones, televisions. But also other objects become increasingly "smart" - watches, cars ...

Graphene Field Effect Devices Operating in Differential Circuit Configuration

Davide Sacchetto, Yusuf Leblebici, Clemens Benedict Nyffeler

We study the concept of a basic building block for circuits using differential signaling and being based on graphene field effect devices. We fabricated a number of top-gated graphene FETs using commercially available graphene and employing electron beam l ...

MoS2 Transistors Operating at Gigahertz Frequencies

Andras Kis, Yusuf Leblebici, Clemens Benedict Nyffeler, Daria Krasnozhon, Dominik Sebastian Lembke

The presence of a direct band gap1-4 and an ultrathin form factor5 has caused a considerable interest in two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors from the transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD) family with molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) being the most studied repr ...

A Die-Level Post-CMOS Processing Protocol for Multi-Layer 3D Integration

Davide Sacchetto, Seniz Esra Küçük, Yusuf Leblebici, Clemens Benedict Nyffeler

In this work, a chip-level post-CMOS processing protocol for 3D integration is presented to achieve multilayer stacking. This protocol includes TSV formation on the top chip, bonding the chips on top of each other, and finally the electrical connection pro ...
