    摘要: Low resistance metal/semiconductor and metal/insulator contacts incorporate metal nanocrystals embedded in another metal having a different work function. The contacts are fabricated by placing a wetting layer of a first metal on a substrate, which may be a semiconductor or an insulator and then heating to form nanocrystals on the semiconductor or insulator surface. A second metal having a different work function than the first is then deposited on the surface so that the nanocrystals are embedded in the second material.

    摘要: Metal nanocrystal memories are fabricated to include higher density states, stronger coupling with the channel, and better size scalability, than has been available with semiconductor nanocrystal devices. A self-assembled nanocrystal formation process by rapid thermal annealing of ultra thin metal film deposited on top of gate oxide is integrated with NMOSFET to fabricate such devices. Devices with Au, Ag, and Pt nanocrystals working in the F-N tunneling regime, with hot-carrier injection as the programming mechanism, demonstrate retention times up to 106s, and provide 2-bit-per-cell storage capability.

    摘要: Embodiments of tunneling barriers and methods for same can embed molecules exhibiting a monodispersion characteristic into a dielectric layer (e.g., between first and second layers forming a dielectric layer). In one embodiment, by embedding C60 molecules inbetween first and second insulating layers forming a dielectric layer, a field sensitive tunneling barrier can be implemented. In one embodiment, the tunneling barrier can be between a floating gate and a channel in a semiconductor structure. In one embodiment, a tunneling film can be used in nonvolatile memory applications where C60 provides accessible energy levels to prompt resonant tunneling through the dielectric layer upon voltage application. Embodiments also contemplate engineered fullerene molecules incorporated within the context of at least one of a tunneling dielectric and a floating gate within a nonvolatile flash memory structure.

    摘要: To facilitate high frequency operation, transmission lines for high-speed interconnect applications in CMOS technologies are loaded with patterned permalloy or other ferromagnetic material films. Patterning the permalloy films as a plurality of segments results in control of the domain structures in the permalloy segments such that ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) effects are eliminated and eddy-current effects are reduced, thereby allowing operation of the transmission lines at frequencies of 20 GHz or higher. In addition, the patterned permalloy reduces the magnetic field coupling between two adjacent transmission lines. A novel ferromagnetic thin film characterization method is also employed to measure the microwave permeability of the patterned permalloy films and verify their high frequency operational characteristics.
