Pragya R. Shrestha, Nandita S. Abhyankar, Mark A. Anders, Kin P. Cheung, Robert M. Gougelet, Jason T. Ryan, Veronika A. Szalai, Jason P. Campbell
Electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy measures paramagnetic free radicals, or electron spins, in a variety of biological, chemical, and physical systems. Detection of diverse paramagnetic species is important in applications ranging from quantum

Switching variability factors in compliance-free metal oxide RRAM

March 31, 2019

Dmitry Veksler, Gennadi Bersuker, A W. Bushmaker, Pragya Shrestha, Kin P. Cheung, Jason Campbell
Switching variability in polycrystalline compliance-free HfO2-based 1R RRAM is evaluated employing ultra-fast low voltage pulse approach. Changes in filament conductivity are linked to the variations of energy released in a switching process. This study

Albert Davydov, Leonid A. Bendersky, Sergiy Krylyuk, Huairuo Zhang, Feng Zhang, Joerg Appenzeller, Pragya R. Shrestha, Kin P. Cheung, Jason P. Campbell
We report multi-level MoTe2-based resistive random-access memory (RRAM) devices with switching speeds of less than 5 ns due to an electric-field induced 2H to 2Hd phase transition. Different from conventional RRAM devices based on ionic migration, the

Slow- and rapid-scan frequency-swept electrically detected magnetic resonance of MOSFETs with a non-resonant microwave probe within a semiconductor wafer-probing station

Duane J. McCrory, Mark Anders, Jason Ryan, Pragya Shrestha, Kin P. Cheung, Patrick M. Lenahan, Jason Campbell
We report on a novel electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) technique that merges electrically detected magnetic resonance (EDMR) with a conventional semiconductor wafer probing station. This union, which we refer to as wafer-level EDMR (WL-EDMR), allows

Parasitic engineering for RRAM control

Pragya R. Shrestha, David M. Nminibapiel, Dmitry Veksler, Jason P. Campbell, Jason T. Ryan, helmut Baumgart, Kin P. Cheung
The inevitable current overshoot which follows forming or switching of filamentary resistive random access memory (RRAM) devices is often perceived as a source of variability that should be minimized. This sentiment has resulted in efforts to curtail the

Non-tunneling origin of the 1/f noise in SiC MOSFET

July 1, 2018
Author(s)
Kin (Charles) Cheung, Jason Campbell
Abstract: It has long been established that MOSFET random telegraph noise and the cumulative 1/f noise is the result of inversion charge tunneling in and out of bulk traps in the gate oxide near the interface. The tunneling nature is a key concept upon

First Direct Experimental Studies of Hf0.5Zr0.5O2 Ferroelectric Polarization Switching Down to 100-picosecond in Sub-60mV/dec Germanium Ferroelectric Nanowire FETs

Wonil Chung, Mengwei Si, Pragya Shrestha, Jason Campbell, Kin P. Cheung, Peide Ye
In this work, ultrafast pulses with pulse widths ranging from 100 ps to seconds were applied on the gate of Ge ferroelectric (FE) nanowire (NW) pFETs with FE Hf0.5Zr0.5O2 (HZO) gate dielectric exhibiting steep subthreshold slope (SS) below 60 mV/dec bi

SiC power MOSFET gate oxide breakdown reliability – Current status

Author(s)
Kin P. Cheung
SiC power MOSFET is poised to take off commercially. Gate oxide breakdown reliability is an important obstacle standing is the way. Early prediction of poor intrinsic reliability comparing to silicon MOSFET, while theoretically sound, has now proven way

Glassy-Electret Random Access Memory - A naturally Nanoscale Memory Concept

Author(s)
Jason Campbell, Pragya Shrestha, Vasileia Georgiou, D. E. Ioannou, Kin (Charles) Cheung
Self-heating is a serious issue in state-of-the-art MOSFET technology. Much efforts are currently being made to combat this problem to enable further scaling. In this work, self-heating in nanoscale MOSFET is leveraged and enhanced to enable a new memory

Duane J. McCrory, Mark Anders, Jason Ryan, Pragya Shrestha, Kin P. Cheung, Patrick M. Lenahan, Jason Campbell
We report on a novel semiconductor reliability technique that incorporates an electrically detected magnetic resonance (EDMR) spectrometer within a conventional semiconductor wafer probing station. EDMR is an ultrasensitive electron paramagnetic resonance
