Abstract PDF

The evolution of microelectronics to nanoelectronics is discussed based on the device figure of merit( power delay product), while an overview of their current development situation is given. In the same time, it is indicated that in the course of SOC ( system on a chip) development the introduction of new, much powerful than the conventional, information processing system is inevitable. Finally, some expectations of the main differences between microelectronics and nanoelectronics are given.

Wu Quande
Chin. J. Semicond.  2003, 24(S1): 6-10
Abstract PDF

There are beauties in the nanoscale world. Artistic patterns in nanoscale thin films are formed as a result of phase transformations. There are only a few combined materials that can produce artistic patterns in a nanoscale thin film for ultrahigh density information storage. The patterns produced by far-from-Equilibrium self-organization growth can be divided into three categories, i. e. , growth with demarcating synergetic atomic or molecular diffusion, growth with demarcating nonsynergetic atomic diffusion, and growth with non-demarcating synergetic atomic diffusion. Three pictures for each category will be shown as representatives. These patterns can not be produced as repeatable growth. An additional example as the repeatable growth will also be given.

Chin. J. Semicond.  2003, 24(S1): 34-37
Abstract PDF

In the framework of the effective mass envelop function theory, we got the amiltonian of the quantum ellipsoid after a coordinate transition. The energies wave functions are calculated as functions of the aspect ratio. With an overall consideration of the transition matrix element and the Boltzmann distribution, we explained why the polarization factor increases with increasing e and approaches a saturation value which tallies quite well with the experiment reported. The effects of the crystal field splitting energy temperature and transverse radius to the polarization are also considered. We discussed the band gap variation with the size and shape of the quantum ellipsoid at last.

Influence of transverse Interdot Coupling on electron transport properties in a Double-Ouantum-Dot Aharonov-Bohm Structure
Jiang Zhaotan, Liu Wei, Yang Fuhua, You Jianqiang, Li Shushen, Zheng Houzhi
Chin. J. Semicond.  2003, 24(S1): 38-42
Abstract PDF

By means of modified rate Equations We inVestigate the influence of the transVerse interdot coupling on the AharonoV-Bohm ( AB) structure, Which is composed of two coupled quantum dots ( GDs) sandWiched betWeen source and drain. The numerical results show that the interdot coupling betWeen the two GDs can cause a temporal oscillation in electronoccupation at the initial stage of the quantum dynamics, While the source-drain current decays monotonically to a stationary Value. On the other hand, the interdot coupling diVides the AB ring into two coupled subrings. That destroys the normal AB oscillation and generates a new and complex periodic oscillation With its period related to the magnetic flux ratio.

Abstract PDF

The 5nm Pt films are deposited on p-Si (111) substrate by magnetron sputtering. After annealing, Pt films turn into PtSi. The characteristic of surface and interface of Ptsi films are studied by AFM and -RTEM. The results show that the technology conditions influence the interface structure and surface morphology of Ptsi films. With an increase of substrate temperature, the columnar clusters on the surface become into the flat ones, and multi-layer films to be the single ones. If the substrate are heated, there are only PtSi phase in the single layer film that is uniform and sound and has a smooth, clear and coherent interface.

Abstract PDF

The self-assembled InGaAs/GaAs quantum dots superlattices for 8 ~ 12pm infrared photodetector working at atmospheric window are grown by MBE. It is demonstrated that the intersublevel absorption wavelength of InGaAs/GaAs quantum dot superlattices can be ad usted by varying the shape and size of quantum dots and the thickness of InGaAs layer. It is observed that as the thickness of InGaAs layer increased the infrared absorption peak blue-shifts from 15 to 10pm. The changes can be attributed to the enhanced effect of coupling between quantum dots.

Characterization and surface modification of electric property are carried out on the organmetallic compleX AgTCNG thin film by scanning tunneling microscope ( STM). The resistance ofan organmetallic complex Ag-TCNG thin film Will be changed from a high resistance state to a loW resistance state When the bias voltage between the tip of STM and the bottom electrode is in excess ofa certain threshold voltage. The two states can be defined as S07 and S17 of a memory unit, respectiVely. Change of electric property is recorded in the conventional mode of STM. In order to avoid the effect of tunneling junction, which is not the intrinsic property of the material, betWeen the tip and the sample, a test in so-called Scontact7 mode of STM is carried out, and the result is compared with that in the conVentional mode.

The two states can be defined as S07 and S17 of a memory unit, respectiVely. Change of electric property is recorded in the conventional mode of STM. In order to avoid the effect of tunneling junction, which is not the intrinsic property of the material, betWeen the tip and the sample, a test in so-called Scontact7 mode of STM is carried out, and the result is compared with that in the conVentional mode.

Abstract PDF

Based on the analysis to the traditional parallel-plate capacitor We present a novel MEMS tunable capacitor with a wide tuning range. Different from the conventional parallel-plate capacitors this capacitor consists of three pairs of plates. One pair of them is used as capacitor plates and the other two are used as controlling plates. AC signal passes through the capacitor plates while DC controlling voltage is applied between the controlling plates. By simulation with Ansys softWare We get the tuning range is up to 214% largely beyond the theoretical tuning range limit ( 50% D of conventional two-parallel-plate capacitors. It can be easily integrated in RF circuits for this simple process of fabrication.

Abstract PDF

two classes of nanoscale fabrication techniques, including high-resolution techniques and process induced techniques, are introduced. High-resolution techniques, as the extension of microelectronics lithography, include the efficient but expensive Extreme Ultraviolet lithography, the very efficient and low-cost, immature nano-imprint lithography, and the fine but low-output Scanning Probe lithography. Process induced techniques use some routinely used process and principle, such as sidewall, anisotropic etching and porous anodic aluminum oxide template to form local or self-assemble well-controlled nanostructure. Although the nanostructure is beyond the resolution of photolithography used in process, the integrated density is restricted by photolithography.
