Structural advantages of rectangular-like channel cross-section on electrical characteristics of silicon nanowire field-effect transistors

We have experimentally demonstrated structural advantages due to rounded corners of rectangular-like cross-section of silicon nanowire (SiNW) field-effect transistors (FETs) on on-current (I_ON), inversion charge density normalized by a peripheral length of channel cross-section (Q_inv) and effective carrier mobility (μ_eff). The I_ON was evaluated at the overdrive voltage (V_OV) of 1.0 V, which is the difference between gate voltage (V_g) and the threshold voltage (V_th), and at the drain voltage of 1.0 V. The SiNW nFETs have revealed high I_ON of 1600 μA/μm of the channel width (w_NW) of 19 nm and height (h_NW) of 12 nm with the gate length (L_g) of 65 nm. We have separated the amount of on-current per wire at V_OV = 1.0 V to a corner component and a flat surface component, and the contribution of the corners was nearly 60% of the total I_ON of the SiNW nFET with L_g of 65 nm. Higher Q_inv at V_OV = 1.0 V evaluated by advanced split-CV method was obtained with narrower SiNW FET, and it has been revealed the amount of inversion charge near corners occupied 50% of all the amount of inversion charge of the SiNW FET (w_NW = 19 nm and h_NW = 12 nm). We also obtained high μ_eff of the SiNW FETs compared with that of SOI planar nFETs. The μ_eff at the corners of SiNW FET has been calculated with the separated amount of inversion charge and drain conductance. Higher μ_eff around corners is obtained than the original μ_eff of the SiNW nFETs. The higher μ_eff and the large fractions of I_ON and Q_inv around the corners indicate that the rounded corners of rectangular-like cross-sections play important roles on the enhancement of the electrical performance of the SiNW nFETs.     

Effective passivation of defects in Ge-rich SiGe-on-insulator substrates by Al2O3 deposition and subsequent post-annealing

A method of Al₂O₃ deposition and subsequent post-deposition annealing (Al₂O₃-PDA) was proposed to passivate electrically active defects in Ge-rich SiGe-on-insulator (SGOI) substrates, which were fabricated using Ge condensation by dry oxidation. The effect of Al₂O₃-PDA on defect passivation was clarified by surface analysis and electrical evaluation. It was found that Al₂O₃-PDA could not only suppress the surface reaction during Al-PDA in our previous work [Yang H, Wang D, Nakashima H, Hirayama K, Kojima S, Ikeura S. Defect control by Al-deposition and the subsequent post-annealing for SiGe-on-insulator substrates with different Ge fractions. Thin Solid Films 2010; 518: 2342-5.], but could also effectively passivate p-type defects generated during Ge condensation. The concentration in the range of 10¹⁶-10¹⁸ cm⁻³ for defect-induced acceptors and holes in Ge-rich SGOI drastically decreased after Al₂O₃-PDA. As a result of defect passivation, the electrical characteristics of both back-gate p-channel and n-channel metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors fabricated on Ge-rich SGOI were greatly improved after Al₂O₃-PDA.     

Strong Surface‐Termination Effect on Electroresistance in Ferroelectric Tunnel Junctions

Tunnel electroresistance in ferroelectric tunnel junctions (FTJs) has attracted considerable interest, because of a promising application to nonvolatile memories. Development of ferroelectric thin‐film devices requires atomic‐scale band‐structure engineering based on depolarization‐field effects at interfaces. By using FTJs consisting of ultrathin layers of the prototypical ferroelectric BaTiO₃, it is demonstrated that the surface termination of the ferroelectric in contact with a simple‐metal electrode critically affects properties of electroresistance. BaTiO₃ barrier‐layers with TiO₂ or BaO terminations show opposing relationships between the polarization direction and the resistance state. The resistance‐switching ratio in the junctions can be remarkably enhanced up to 10⁵% at room temperature, by artificially controlling the fraction of BaO termination. These results are explained in terms of the termination dependence of the depolarization field that is generated by a dead layer and imperfect charge screening. The findings on the mechanism of tunnel electroresistance should lead to performance improvements in the devices based on nanoscale ferroelectrics.     

3D Micromolding of Arrayed Waveguide Gratings on Upconversion Luminescent Layers for Flexible Transparent Displays without Mirrors,Electrodes, and Electric Circuits

A new technique for the fabrication of arrayed waveguide gratings on upconversion luminescent layers for flexible transparent displays is reported. Ho³⁺‐ and Yb³⁺‐codoped NaYF₄ nanoparticles are synthesized by hydrothermal techniques. Transparent films consisting of two transparent polymers on the NaYF₄ nanoparticle films exhibit mechanical flexibility and high transparence in visible region. Patterned NaYF₄ nanoparticle films are fabricated by calcination‐free micromolding in capillaries. Arrayed waveguide gratings consisting of the two transparent polymers are formed on the patterned NaYF₄ nanoparticle films by micromolding in capillaries. Green and red luminescence is observed from the upconversion luminescent layers of the NaYF₄ nanoparticle films in the arrayed waveguide gratings under excitation at 980 nm laser light. Arrayed waveguide gratings on the upconversion luminescent layers are fabricated with Er³⁺‐doped NaYF₄ nanoparticles which can convert two photons at 850 and 1500 nm into single photon at 550 nm. These results demonstrate that flexible transparent displays can be fabricated by constructing arrayed waveguide gratings on upconversion luminescent layers, which can operate in nonprojection mode without mirrors, transparent electrodes, and electric circuits.     

Bisanthracene‐Based Donor–Acceptor‐type Light‐Emitting Dopants: Highly Efficient Deep‐Blue Emission in Organic Light‐Emitting Devices

Deep‐blue fluorescent compounds are particularly important in organic light‐emitting devices (OLEDs). A donor–accepotor (DA)‐type blue‐emitting compound, 1‐(10‐(4‐methoxyphenyl)anthracen‐9‐yl)‐4‐(10‐(4‐cyanophenyl)anthracen‐9‐yl)benzene ( BD3 ), is synthesized, and for comparison, a nonDA‐type compound, 1,4‐bis(10‐phenylanthracene‐9‐yl)benzene ( BD1 ) and a weak DA‐type compound, 1‐(10‐phenylanthracen‐9‐yl)‐4‐(10‐(4‐cyanophenyl)anthracen‐9‐yl)‐benzene ( BD2 ), are also synthesized. The twisted conformations of the two anthracene units in the compounds, confirmed by single crystal X‐ray analysis, effectively prevent π‐conjugation, and the compound shows deep‐blue photoluminescence (PL) with a high PL quantum efficiency, almost independent of the solvent polarity, resulting from the absence of an intramolecular charge transfer state. The DA‐type molecule BD3 in a non‐doped device exhibits a maximum external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 4.2% with a slight roll‐off, indicating good charge balance due to the DA‐type molecular design. In the doped device with 4,4′‐bis(N‐carbazolyl)‐1,1′‐biphenyl (CBP) host, the BD3 exhibits higher EQE than 10% with Commission International de L'Eclairge (CIE) coordinates of (0.15, 0.06) and a narrow full‐width at half‐maximum of 45 nm, which is close to the CIE of the high definition television standard blue.     

High-Density Frenkel Defects as Origin of N-Type Thermoelectric Performance and Low Thermal Conductivity in Mg3Sb2-Based Materials

Mg₃Sb₂-based intermetallic compounds with exceptionally high thermoelectric performance exhibit unconventional n-type dopability and anomalously low thermal conductivity, attracting much attention to the underlying mechanisms. To date, investigations have been limited to first-principle calculations and thermodynamic analysis of defect formation, and detailed experimental analysis on crystal structure and phonon modes has not been achieved. Here, a synchrotron X-ray diffraction study clarifies that, against a previous view of a simple crystal structure with a small unit cell, Mg₃Sb₂ is inherently a heavily disordered material with Frenkel defects, charge-neutral defect complexes of cation vacancies and interstitials. Ionic charge neutrality preserved in Mg₃Sb₂ is responsible for exotic n-type dopability, which is unachievable for other Zintl phase materials. The thermal conductivity of Mg₃Sb₂ exhibits deviation from the standard T⁻¹ temperature dependency with strongly limited phonon transport due to a strain field. Inelastic X-ray scattering measurement reveals enhanced phonon scattering induced by disorder. The results will draw renewed attention to crystal defects and disorder as means to explore new high-performance thermoelectric materials.     

Nanoimprint with thin and uniform residual layer for various pattern densities

Pattern density variation is uncomfortable for nanoimprint lithography which uses a moldable material supplied as a thin film, because the variation of pattern density causes variations of residual layer thickness reflecting on the local pattern density. To solve the problem, a new type of mold “capacity-equalized mold”, which has constant averaged depth regardless of pattern density, was fabricated and the structure of the mold was inspected. UV nanoimprint was then carried out using the mold and thickness and uniformity of the residual layer were investigated. An average thickness of 33.2 nm with a standard deviation of 3.4 nm was obtained for the mold pattern layout with a pattern density of from 0.25 to 0.75. It was found that a standard deviation of 1.2 nm was achieved for pattern density variation of from 0.33 to 0.67 by excluding artifacts.     

Plasma-tolerant structure for organic light-emitting diodes with aluminum cathodes fabricated by DC magnetron sputtering: Using a Li-doped electron transport layer

We fabricate aluminum cathodes that are almost free from plasma damage by DC magnetron sputtering for organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). While sputtering is widely known to have numerous advantages over conventional evaporation for mass production of devices, it can cause serious damage to organic layers. In this report, we fabricate devices that are free from plasma damage by introducing a 1%-Li-doped electron transport layer (ETL). The difference of external electroluminescence quantum efficiency between OLEDs with the structure ITO/α-NPD/ETL/Al (where ITO is indium tin oxide and α-NPD is N,N′-di(1-naphthyl)-N,N′-diphenylbenzidine) with Al cathodes deposited by conventional evaporation or sputtering is 0.1%, and their driving voltage is identical. We find that the Li-doped ETL should be thicker than 40 nm. Analysis of the depth profile of the ETL by time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry indicates that considerable damage from sputtering extended to a depth of approximately 30 nm, suggesting that high-energy particles penetrated about 30 nm into the ETL.
