Symposium EP11-Novel Materials for End-of-Roadmap Devices in Logic, Power and Memory

The scaling of silicon MOSETs, DRAM, and Flash memory has already required the use for high-k dielectrics and the trend is expected to continue. Present Si MOSFETs employ high-K dielectrics, metal gates, and strain-engineered layers. Further progress requires new semiconductor channel materials and new device structures. For future MOSFET logic devices and power MOSFETs, novel channel materials such as III-V, Ge, SiGe, GaN, and transition metal dichalcogenides are being investigated. Tunnel FETs are one alternative device structure. Future non-volatile memory includes resistive RAM, phase change, and 3D Flash memory. This symposium will emphasize not only the advances in materials but also the new device structures that are required for the new materials to provide substantial improvements in device performance.

Topics will include:

  • High conductivity sources and drains for future MOSFETS
  • Electrical reliability of nanoscale devices and its modeling
  • Device structures and materials SiGe, Ge, III-Vs, GaN, SiC
  • Gate-stack materials and interfaces for future MOSFET
  • High-k dielectrics, bilayer oxide stack, and metal gates for SiGe, Ge, III-V, GaN, SiC, and Memory
  • Modeling of the physics and chemistry of defects in dielectrics
  • Modeling of band offsets, dielectric behavior, and work function control
  • Unconventional transistor designs including tunnel-FETS, 3D transistor and memory
  • High-k dielectrics for memories: Flash and DRAM, 3D Flash
  • Surface pretreatments and chemical cleaning of non-Si channel materials
