ALD's largest strengths are its well-controlled layer-by-layer deposition and growth conformity on 3D structures. Yet, the ALD technique is also well known to lead to amorphous and defective, non-stoichiometric thin films, resulting in modified materials properties that may even preferentially be used in certain applications. To study these issues, we have developed an in-situ ALD reactor attached to an X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) system, capable of switching between both pump and flow-type operation. This novel tool allows to cover the entire range of compounds and recipes used in ALD, thus clarifying the role of such defects at different deposition stages, growth conditions and film/substrate interfaces. To exemplify these sorts of studies, we show the deposition of Al2O3 5-10 nm films on nanostructured Si, and their use as substrates for functional CeOx ALD deposits.

These models are integrated in 1T-1R cells to control their analog behavior by means of the compliance current imposed by the NMOS select transistor. Four different resistance levels are simulated and assessed with experimental verification to account for their multilevel capability. Further, an Artificial Neural Network study is carried out to evaluate in a real scenario the viability of the multilevel approach under study.

The influences of the process pressure and growth temperature in the range of 10−7–10−3 mbar and 900–980 °C, respectively, are evaluated with respect to morphology, growth rate, and crystalline quality of the hBN films. At 900 °C, nanocrystalline hBN films with a lateral crystallite size of ~2–3 nm are obtained and confirmed by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy images. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy confirms an atomic N:B ratio of 1 ± 0.1. A three-dimensional growth mode is observed by atomic force microscopy. Increasing the process pressure in the reactor mainly affects the growth rate, with only slight effects on crystalline quality and none on the principle growth mode. Growth of hBN at 980 °C increases the average crystallite size and leads to the formation of 3–10 well-oriented, vertically stacked layers of hBN on the Ge surface. Exploratory ab initio density functional theory simulations indicate that hBN edges are saturated by hydrogen, and it is proposed that partial de-saturation by H radicals produced on hot parts of the set-up is responsible for the growth KW - Boron nitride KW - 2d materials KW - Chemical vapour deposition Y1 - 2022 U6 - https://doi.org/10.3390/nano12193260 SN - 2079-4991 VL - 12 IS - 19 ER - TY - GEN A1 - Weißhaupt, David A1 - Sürgers, Christoph A1 - Bloos, Dominik A1 - Funk, Hannes Simon A1 - Oehme, Michael A1 - Fischer, Gerda A1 - Schubert, Markus Andreas A1 - Wenger, Christian A1 - van Slageren, Joris A1 - Fischer, Inga Anita A1 - Schulze, Jörg T1 - Lateral Mn5Ge3 spin-valve in contact with a high-mobility Ge two-dimensional hole gas T2 - Semiconductor Science and Technology N2 - Abstract Ge two-dimensional hole gases (2DHG) in strained modulation-doped quantum-wells represent a promising material platform for future spintronic applications due to their excellent spin transport properties and the theoretical possibility of efficient spin manipulation. Due to the continuous development of epitaxial growth recipes extreme high hole mobilities and low effective masses can be achieved, promising an efficient spin transport. Furthermore, the Ge 2DHG can be integrated in the well-established industrial complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) devices technology. However, efficient electrical spin injection into a Ge 2DHG—an essential prerequisite for the realization of spintronic devices—has not yet been demonstrated. In this work, we report the fabrication and low-temperature magnetoresistance (MR) measurements of a laterally structured Mn5Ge3/Ge 2DHG/ Mn5Ge3 device. The ferromagnetic Mn5Ge3 contacts are grown directly into the Ge quantum well by means of an interdiffusion process with a spacing of approximately 130 nm, forming a direct electrical contact between the ferromagnetic metal and the Ge 2DHG. Here, we report for the first time a clear MR signal for temperatures below 13 K possibly arising from successful spin injection into the high mobility Ge 2DHG. The results represent a step forward toward the realization of CMOS compatible spintronic devices based on a 2DHG.

Among these concepts, resistive random access memory (RRAM) devices allow fast and nonvolatile operation. However, building large memristive systems is still challenging since large analog circuits have to be designed and integrated. In this paper, we propose a novel solution - the implementation of digital standard cells by the means of RRAM devices. While this methodology is universal, with applications ranging from few-device-circuits to large macroblocks, we demonstrate it for a 2T2R-cell. The benefits of using RRAM devices are demonstrated by implementing a NAND standard cell merely consuming the area of two transistors. This cell is about 25 % smaller than the equivalent CMOS NAND in the same technology. We use these cells to implement a half adder, beating the area of the equivalent CMOS implementation using more sophisticates gates by 15 %. Lastly, we fully integrate this novel standard cell into a digital standard cell library and perform a synthesis and layout of a RISC-V CPU core.
