Today's world of electronics becomes more and more digital and therefore CMOS becomes the dominant technology. A CMOS process compared to a bipolar process offers several advantages, mainly a low power consumption which is important for portable systems po ...
This paper presents a process for the co-fabrication of self-aligned NMOS and single electron transistors made by gated polysilicon wires. The realization of SET–MOS hybrid architectures is also reported. The proposed process exploits an original low energ ...
Wireless communication systems and handset devices are showing a rapid growth in consumer and military applications. Applications using wireless communication standards such as personal connectivity devices (Bluetooth), mobile systems (GSM, UMTS, WCDMA) an ...
The aim of this research is to develop and to evaluate devices and circuits performances based on ultrathin nanograin polysilicon wire (polySiNW) dedicated to room temperature operated hybrid CMOS-"nano" integrated circuits. The proposed polySiNW device is ...
Scaling of semiconductor devices has pushed CMOS devices close to fundamental limits. The remarkable success story of Moore's law during the last 40 years, predicting the evolution of electronic device performances related to miniaturization, has always be ...
This paper reports on the top-down fabrication and electrical performance of silicon nanowire (SiNW) gate-all-around (GAA) n-type and p-type MOSFET devices integrated on bulk silicon using a local-silicon-on-insulator (SOI) process. The proposed local-SOI ...
For the past couple of decades the desire to add more complexity to a computer chip, while simultaneously reducing the cost per bit, has been accommodated by down-scaling. This approach has been extremely successful in the past, but like all good things it ...
Technology scaling improves the energy, performance, and area of the digital circuits. With further scaling into sub-45nm regime, we are moving toward very low supply (VDD) and threshold voltages (VT), smaller VDD/VT ratio, high leakage current, and large ...
A 4H-SiC pressure sensor with piezoresistive transducers, for harsh environment applications, e.g., high temperature (~650°C) and/or in corrosive chemicals is presented. The sensing membrane, 1 mm in diameter and 50 µm in thickness, was formed by milling ( ...
