Abstract:
A complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) device includes an n-type first transistor on a silicon substrate, the n-type first transistor including a Group III-V compound semiconductor substrate, and a p-type second transistor on the silicon substrate, the p-type second transistor including a germanium based substrate.
Abstract:
Semiconductor devices including a substrate (e.g., silicon substrate), a multi-layer structure disposed on a portion of the substrate, and at least one electrode disposed on the multi-layer structure and methods of manufacturing the same are provided. The multi-layer structure may include an active layer containing a Group III-V material and a current blocking layer disposed between the substrate and the active layer. The semiconductor device may further include a buffer layer disposed between the substrate and the active layer. In a case that the substrate is a p-type, the buffer layer may be an n-type material layer and the current blocking layer may be a p-type material layer. The current blocking layer may contain a Group III-V material. A mask layer having an opening may be disposed on the substrate so that the multi-layer structure may be disposed on the portion of the substrate exposed by the opening.
Abstract:
Provided are a memory controller determining degradation in endurance, a memory system including the memory controller, and a method of operating the memory controller. The memory controller includes: an error correction code (ECC) circuit configured to detect an error from data read from a memory device; and an endurance determination circuit configured to check a first counting value indicating a number of writing operations on the memory device and a second counting value indicating, based on the data read from the memory device, at least one of: a number of first memory cells of the memory device, each of the first memory cells having an error and a number of second memory cells of the memory device in a certain logic state, and configured to perform a first determination operation for determining whether endurance of the memory device has degraded based on a checking result.
