Ni-silicide has low thermal stabiliy. This point is obstacle to apply NiSi to devices. So In this paper, we have studied for obtain thermal stability and analysis of dopant dependency of NiSi. And then we applied Ni-silicide to devices. To improvement of thermal stability, we deposit Ni70/Co10/Ni30/TiN100 to sample. Co midlayer is enhanced thermal stability of NiSi. Co/Ni/TiN, this structure show very difference between n-poly and p-poly in sheet resistance. But Ni/Co/Ni/TiN, structure show less difference. Also junction leakage is good.

최근, 아이팟, 아이패드, 스마트폰 등의 휴대정보 기기의 수요가 급격히 증가하면서, 고집적성(테라비트급), 초소형, 초고속성, 고신뢰성을 확보할 수 있는 나노스케일(nano-scale)의 비휘발성 메모리(Non-volatile Memory; NVM) 소자 개발에 많은 연구가 집중되고 있다. 현재, 기존 CMOS 반도체 공정과 호환성이 우수하면서 고집적성의 특성이 가능한 전하트랩 플래시(Chrage Trap Flash : CTF) 메모리 소자가 차세대 비휘발성 메모리로써 각광 받고 있다. 하지만, 이러한 CTF 소자가 32 nm 이하로 스케일 다운이 되면서, ONO 층의 크기와 두께가 상당히 작고 얇아짐에 따라, 메모리 트랩수가 상당히 줄어들기 때문에 프로그램/소거 상태를 인지하는 메모리 윈도우의 마진을 확보하는데 어려움이 있다. 본 논문에서는 500 nm 크기를 갖는 폴리스티렌 비드(bead)를 이용한 나노 리소그래피 공정으로 질화막 표면에 roughness를 주어, 질화막과 블로킹 산화막의 경계면에 메모리 트랩의 표면적이 증가시켜, 메모리 윈도우 증가와 프로그램 속도를 개선을 구현하였다.

In this paper, we designed a charge pump circuit using level shifter for LED driver IC. The designed circuit makes the 15 V output voltage from the 5 V input in condition of 50 kHz switching frequency. The prototype chip which include the proposed charge pump circuit and its several internal sub-blocks such as oscillator, level shifter was fabricated using a 0.35 um 20 V BCD process technology. The size of the fabricated prototype chip is 2,350 um ${\times}$ 2,350 um. We examined performances of the fabricated chip and compared its measured results with SPICE simulation data.

본 연구에서는 측정된 S-파라미터로부터 추출된 Nano-scale MOSFET 등가회로 파라미터의 scaling 방정식을 사용하여 차단주파수의 게이트 길이 종속성을 모델화하였다. 모델된 차단주파수는 게이트 길이가 줄어듬에 따라서 크게 증가하다가, 점점 증가율이 크게 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 이는 게이트 길이가 감소함에 따라 내부전달시간은 크게 줄어들지만, 외부 기생 충전시간은 상대적으로 조금씩 감소하기 때문이다. 이와 같은 새로운 게이트길이 종속 모델은 Nano-scale MOSFET의 RF성능을 최적화시키는 데 큰 도움이 될 것이다.

wo dimensional (2D) van der Waals (vdW) nanosheet semiconductors have recently attracted much attention from researchers because of their potentials as active device materials toward future nano-electronics and -optoelectronics. This review mainly focuses on the features and applications of state-of-the-art vdW 2D material devices which use transition metal dichalcogenides, graphene, hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN), and black phosphorous: field effect transistors (FETs), complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) inverters, Schottky diode, and PN diode. In a closing remark, important remaining issues of 2D vdW devices are also introduced as requests for future electronics and photonics applications.

A novel Helmholtz coil inductively coupled plasma(H-ICP) etcher is proposed and characterized for deep nano-scale CMOS technology. Various hardware tests are performed while varying key parameters such as distance between the top and bottom coils, the distance between the chamber ceiling and the wafer, and the chamber height in order to determine the optimal design of the chamber and optimal process conditions. The uniformity was significantly improved by applying the optimum conditions. The plasma density obtained with the H-ICP source was about $5{\times}10^{11}/cm^3$, and the electron temperature was about 2-3 eV. The etching selectivity for the poly-silicon gate versus the ultra-thin gate oxide was 482:1 at 10 sccm of $HeO_2$. The proposed H-ICP was successfully applied to form multiple 60-nm poly-silicon gate layers.

In this study, we fabricated thermopile infrared sensor with floating membrane structure. Floating membrane was formed by SOI(Silicon On Insulator) structure. In SOI structure, silicon dioxide layer between top silicon layer and bottom silicon substrate was etched by HF solution, then membrane was floated over substrate. After membrane was floated, thermopile pattern was formed on membrane. By insertion of SOI technology, we could obtain thermal isolation structure easily and passivation process for sensor pattern protection was not required during fabrication process. Then, the amplifier circuit for thermopile sensor was fabricated by using $1.5{\mu}m$ CMOS process. The voltage gain of fabricated amplifier was about two hundred.

A new fabrication method is proposed to form the stacked polysilicon gate by nitridation in $N_2$ atmosphere using conventional LP-CVD system. Two step stacked layers with an amorphous layer on top of a polycrystalline layer as well as three step stacked layers with polycrystalline films were fabricated using the proposed method. SIMS profile showed that the proposed method would successfully create the nitrogen-rich layers between the stacked polysilicon layers, thus resulting in effective retardation of dopant diffusion. It was observed that the dopants in stacked films were piled-up at the interface. TEM image also showed clear distinction of stacked layers, their plane grain size and grain mismatch at interface layers. Therefore, the number of stacked polysilicon layers with different crystalline structures, interface position and crystal phase can be easily controlled to improve the device performance and reliability without any negative effects in nano-scale CMOSFETs.

Semiconductor nanowires (NWs) are future building block for nano-scale devices. Especially, Ge NWs are fascinated material due to the high electrical conductivity with high carrier mobility. It is strong candidate material for post-CMOS technology. However, thermal stability of Ge NWs are poor than conventional semiconductor material such as Si. Especially, when it reduced size as small as nano-scale it will be melted around CMOS process temperature due to the melting point depression. Recently, Graphene have been intensively interested since it has high carrier mobility with single atomic thickness. In addition, it is chemically very stable due to the $sp^2$ hybridization. Graphene films shows good protecting layer for oxidation resistance and corrosion resistance of metal surface using its chemical properties. Recently, we successfully demonstrated CVD growth of monolayer graphene using Ge catalyst. Using our growth method, we synthesized Ge/graphene core/shell (Ge@G) NW and conducted it for highly thermal stability required devices. We confirm the existence of graphene shell and morphology of NWs using SEM, TEM and Raman spectra. SEM and TEM images clearly show very thin graphene shell. We annealed NWs in vacuum at high temperature. Our results indicated that surface melting phenomena of Ge NWs due to the high surface energy from curvature of NWs start around $550^{\circ}C$ which is $270^{\circ}C$ lower than bulk melting point. When we increases annealing temperature, tip of Ge NWs start to make sphere shape in order to reduce its surface energy. On the contrary, Ge@G NWs prevent surface melting of Ge NWs and no Ge spheres generated. Furthermore, we fabricated filed emission devices using pure Ge NWs and Ge@G NWs. Compare with pure Ge NWs, graphene protected Ge NWs show enhancement of reliability. This growth approach serves a thermal stability enhancement of semiconductor NWs.

본 논문에서는 LDO 레귤레이터의 공정변화에 따른 특성변화를 1 ${\mu}m$ 20 V 고 전압 CMOS 공정을 사용하여 시뮬레이션 하였다. 공정변화에 따른 3종류의 SPICE 파라미터(문턱전압과 실효채널길이가 평균적인 Typ(typical), 평균 이하인 FF(fast), 평균 이상인 SS(slow) 파라미터)를 LDO 레귤레이터 시뮬레이션에 활용하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과,SS 파라미터 사용의 경우, 라인 레귤레이션이 3.6 mV/V, 부하 레귤레이션이 0.4 mV/mA, 부하전류 변화에 따른 출력전압이 안정화되는 시간이 평균 0.86 ${\mu}s$였다. 그리고 Typ 파라미터 사용의 경우, 라인 레귤레이션이 4.2 mV/V, 부하 레귤레이션이 0.44 mV/mA, 부하전류 변화에 따른 출력전압이 안정화되는 시간이 평균 0.62 ${\mu}s$였다. 마지막으로 FF 파라미터 사용의경우 라인 레귤레이션이 7.0 mV/V, 부하 레귤레이션이 0.56 mV/mA, 부하전류 변화에 따른 출력전압이 안정화되는 시간이 평균 0.27 ${\mu}s$였다. 향후, 이러한 공정변화에 따른 회로 특성의 변화를 고려한 효율적 회로설계가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
