Abstract: Altering from existing planar devices to FinFETs has revolutionized device performance, but demands of leakage and gate controllability are increasing relentlessly. Gate all around field effect transistor (GAAFET) is expected to be the next-generation device that meets these needs. This paper suggests a way to improve the gate electrostatic characteristics by adding an oxidation process to the conventional multi-bridgechannel field effect transistor (MBCFET) process. The main advantage of the proposed method is that a device with ultimate electrostatic properties can be implemented without changing the complex and expensive photo-patterning. In the proposed device, the immunity of short channel effects is enhanced in a single transistor. And the performance of ring oscillator (RO) and SRAM was confirmed to be improved by TCAD mixed-mode simulation.

[paper] 2D Charge Density Wave Phases

Machine-Intelligence-Driven High-Throughput Prediction of 2D Charge Density Wave Phases

Abstract: Charge density wave (CDW) materials are an important subclass of two-dimensional materials exhibiting significant resistivity switching with the application of external energy. However, the scarcity of such materials impedes their practical applications in nanoelectronics. Here we combine a first-principles-based structure-searching technique and unsupervised machine learning to develop a fully automated high-throughput computational framework, which identifies CDW phases from a unit cell with inherited Kohn anomaly. The proposed methodology not only rediscovers the known CDW phases but also predicts a host of easily exfoliable CDW materials (30 materials and 114 phases) along with associated electronic structures. Among many promising candidates, we pay special attention to ZrTiSe4 and conduct a comprehensive analysis to gain insight into the Fermi surface nesting, which causes significant semiconducting gap opening in its CDW phase. Our findings could provide useful guidelines for experimentalists.
