Ultra-thin dielectric insertions for contact resistivity lowering in advanced CMOS: Promises and challenges

Julien Borrel, Louis Hutin, Donato Kava, Rémy Gassilloud, Nicolas Bernier, Yves Morand, Fabrice Nemouchi, Magali Gregoire, Emmanuel Dubois, Maud Vinet

In this paper, in order to provide a comprehensive overview of the opportunities and limitations of the metal/insulator/semiconductor contacts approach, expected performance based on ideal contact simulations as well as key practical aspects are presented. While the former give us a glimpse of the…

Power Measurement Setup for On-Wafer Large Signal Characterization Up to Q-Band

Riad Kabouche, Etienne Okada, Ezgi Dogmus, Astrid Linge, Malek Zegaoui, F Medjdoub

We report on the development of a nonlinear vector network analyzer power measurement setup for on-wafer large signal device characterization up to the Q-band. The setup can be used with various types of load pull (active, passive or hybrid) and enables measurements both in continuous wave and…

Sub-15nm gate-all-around field effect transistors on vertical silicon nanowires

Guilhem Larrieu, Youssouf Guerfi, X.L. Han, N. Clément

A vertical MOS architecture implemented on Si nanowire (NW) array with a scaled Gate-All-Around (14 nm) and symmetrical diffusive S/D contacts is presented with noteworthy demonstrations in both processing (layer engineering at nanoscale), and in electrical properties (high electrostatic control,…

Multi-MHz micro-electro-mechanical sensors for atomic force microscopy

Bernard Legrand, Jean-Paul Salvetat, Benjamin Walter, Marc Faucher, Didier Theron, Jean-Pierre Aimé

Silicon ring-shaped micro-electro-mechanical resonators have been fabricated and used as probes for dynamic atomic force microscopy (AFM) experiments. They offer resonance frequency above 10 MHz, which is notably greater than that of usual cantilevers and quartz-based AFM probes. On-chip electrical…

Hydrogen Silsesquioxane-Based Nanofluidics

Sathyanarayanan Punniyakoti, Ragavendran Sivakumarasamy, Francois Vaurette, Pierre Joseph, Katsuhiko Nishiguchi, Akira Fujiwara, Nicolas Clément

Nanofluidics show great promise for the control of small volumes and single molecules, especially for biological and energy applications. To build up more and more complex nanofluidics systems, a versatile and reproducible fabrication technique with nanometer precision alignment is desirable. In…

Optical properties of gold nanorods macro-structure: a numerical study

Arthur Gontier, J. Marae-Djouda, Roberto Caputo, Y. Madi, M. Molinari, Gaëtan Lévêque, Pierre-Michel Adam, Thomas Maurer

In this contribution, a numerical study of the optical properties of closely-packed gold nanorods was performed. The studied nano-objects are experimentally grown on a tilted polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) substrate by using physical vapor deposition (PVD). This method creates nanorods tilted to a…

Estimation of π–π electronic couplings from current measurements

Jorge Trasobares, Jérôme Rech, Thibaut Jonckheere, Thierry Martin, Olivier Alévêque, E. Levillain, Valentin Diez-Cabanes, Yoann Olivier, Jérôme Cornil, Jean-Philippe Nys, Ragavendran Sivakumarasamy, Kacem Smaali, Philippe Leclere, A Fujiwara, Didier Theron, Dominique Vuillaume, Nicolas Clément

The π–π interactions between organic molecules are among the most important parameters for optimizing the transport and optical properties of organic transistors, light-emitting diodes, and (bio-) molecular devices. Despite substantial theoretical progress, direct experimental measurement of the π–…

Flat bands in metamaterials based on angularly layered metal–dielectric scatterers

Said El-Jallal, Daniel Torrent

In this work, we propose the realization of electromagnetic metamaterials in two and three dimensions by means of highly anisotropic rods and spheres. The two-dimensional case is deeply analyzed, and the realization of an anisotropic rod by means of angularly layered cylinders is proposed. The band…
