We have demonstrated the experimental results to obtain the immunity of FN (Fowler Nordheim) stress for S-RCAT (Spherical-Recess Cell Array Transistor) which has been employed to meet the requirements of data retention time and propagation delay time for sub-100-nm mobile DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory). Despite of the same S-RCAT structure, the immunity of FN stress of S-RCAT depends on the process condition of gate oxidation. The S-RCAT using DPN (decoupled plasma nitridation) process showed the different degradation of device properties after FN stress. This paper gives the mechanism of FN-stress degradation of S-RCAT and introduces the improved process to suppress the FN-stress degradation of mobile DRAM.

본 논문에서는 프로그램 선택 소자는 채널 폭이 큰 NMOS (N-channel MOSFET) 트랜지스터 대신 DNW (Deep N-Well) 안에 형성된 채널 폭이 작은 isolated NMOS 트랜지스터의 body인 PW (P-Well)과 source 노드인 n+ diffusion 영역 사이에 형성된 기생하는 접합 다이오드를 사용하는 NMOS-Diode eFuse OTP (One-Time Programmable) 셀을 제안하였다. 제안된 eFuse OTP 셀은 프로그램 모드에서 NMOS 트랜지스터에 형성되는 기생하는 접합 다이오드를 이용하여 eFuse를 blowing 시킨다. 그리고 읽기 모드에서는 접합 다이오드를 이용하는 것이 아니고 NMOS 트랜지스터를 이용하기 때문에 다이오드의 contact voltage 강하를 제거할 수 있으므로 '0' 데이터에 대한 센싱불량을 제거할 수 있다. 또한 읽기 모드에서 채널 폭이 작은 NMOS 트랜지스터를 이용하여 BL에 전압을 전달하므로 OTP 셀의 blowing되지 않은 eFuse를, 통해 흐르는 읽기 전류를 $100{\mu}A$ 이내로 억제하여 blowing되지 않은 eFuse가 blowing되는 문제를 해결할 수 있다.

This report investigates a new synthetic route and the size-dependent optical and electrical properties of PbS nanocrystal quantum dots (NQDs) in diameters ranging between 1.5 and 6 nm. Particularly we synthesize ultra-small sized PbS NQDs having extreme quantum confinement with 1.5~2.9 nm in diameter (2.58~1.5 eV in first exciton energy) for the first time by adjusting growth temperature and growth time. In this region, the Stokes shift increases as decreasing size, which is testimony to the highly quantum confinement effect of ultra-small sized PbS NQDs. To find out the electrical properties, we fabricate self-assembled films of PbS NQDs using layer by layer (LBL) spin-coating method and replacing the original ligands with oleic acid to short ligands with 1, 2-ethandithiol (EDT) in the course. The use of capping ligands (EDT) allows us to achieve effective electrical transport in the arrays of solution processed PbS NQDs. These high-quality films apply to Schottky solar cell made in an glass/ITO/PbS/LiF/Al structure and thin-film transistor varying the PbS NQDs diameter 1.5~6 nm. We achieve the highest open-circuit voltage (＜0.6 V) in Schottky solar cell ever using PbS NQDs with first exciton energy 2.58 eV.

ITIC를 중심으로 고밀도 DRAM을 위한 획기적인 밀도 향상을 기할 수 있는 공정과정과 회로디자인의 기술 혁신에 대하여 지다이너 입장에서 논의하였다. 여기서 개발한 TETC라 부르는 DRAM은 trench 기술과 SEG기술을 이용하였는데 $n^+-polysilycon$인 storage 전극과 $n^+-source$ 전극이 self-con-tact되고 soft error 를 극복할 만큼 충분히 큰 정전용량을 갖으므로 절연 영역을 따라서 만든 수직의 캐패시터를 이용함으로써 셀 크기를 기존의 BSE cell구조에 비하여 약 30% 감소되었다.

For highly scalable NAND flash memory applications, a compact ($4F^2/cell$) nonvolatile memory architecture is proposed and investigated via three-dimensional device simulations. The back-channel program/erase is conducted independently from the front-channel read operation as information is stored in the form of charge at the backside of the channel, and hence, read disturbance is avoided. The memory cell structure is essentially equivalent to that of the fully-depleted transistor, which allows a high cell read current and a steep subthreshold slope, to enable lower voltage operation in comparison with conventional NAND flash devices. To minimize memory cell disturbance during programming, a charge depletion method using appropriate biasing of a buried back-gate line that runs parallel to the bit line is introduced. This design is a new candidate for scaling NAND flash memory to sub-20 nm lateral dimensions.

안티퓨즈 MOS 커패시터를 기반으로 제작된 OTP 소자의 수율은 프로그램 과정에서 입력 저항(Rin)값과 통과 트랜지스터(Pass Tr)의 크기, 데이터 읽기 과정에서 읽기 트랜지스터(Read Tr)와 읽기 전압에 영향을 받는다. 따라서 수율에 영향을 주는 요소를 분석하기 위해 여러 가지 실험 조건을 달리하여 각각의 조건에 대해 블로잉 후 실효소자의 저항 특성에 대한 풀 맵(full map) 데이터를 얻어 OTP 소자가 어떻게 동작하는지를 분석하여 수율 개선에 필요한 최적 조건을 연구하였다. 최적 조건은 입력저항이 $50{\Omega}$, 통과 트랜지스터의 W값이 $10{\mu}m$, 읽기 전압이 2.8 V 일 때이다.

Metal-Ferroelectric- Insulator- Silicon (MFIS) structured field effect transistor (FET) device was fabricated and characterized. Important issues to realize ferroelectric gate field effect transistor device were summarized in three sections. The choice of interlayer dielectric was made in the consideration of device functionality and chemical reaction between ferroelectric materials and silicon surface during fabrication process. Also, various ferroelectric thin film materials were taken into account to meet desired memory window and process compatibility. Finally, MFIS structured FET device was fabricated and important characteristics were discussed. For feasible integration of current device as random access memory array cell address schemes were also suggested.

We investigated accelerated soft error rate (ASER) in static random access memory (SRAM) cells of thin film transistor (TFT) type. The effects on ASER by cell density, buried nwell structure, operational voltage, and polysilicon-2 layer thickness were examined. The increase in the operational voltage, and the decrease in the density of SRAM cells, respectively, resulted in the decrease of ASER values. The SRAM chips with buried nwell showed lower ASER than those with normal well structure did. The ASER decreased as the test distance from alpha source to the sample increased from $7{\mu}m\;to\;15{\mu}m$. As the polysilicon-2 thickness increased up to $1000\;{\AA}$, the ASER decreased exponentially. In conclusion, the best condition for low soft error rate, which is essential to obtain highly reliable SRAM device, is to apply the buried nwell structure scheme and to fabricate thin film transistors with the thick polysilicon-2 layer
