Atomic scale investigation of silicon nanowires and nanoclusters

Manuel Roussel, W.H. Chen, Etienne Talbot, Rodrigue Lardé, E. Cadel, F. Gourbilleau, B. Grandidier, D. Stievenard, Philippe Pareige

In this study, we have performed nanoscale characterization of Si-clusters and Si-nanowires with a laser-assisted tomographic atom probe. Intrinsic and p-type silicon nanowires (SiNWs) are elaborated by chemical vapor deposition method using gold as catalyst, silane as silicon precursor, and…

Energy-band engineering for improved charge retention in fully self-aligned double floating-gate single-electron memories

Xiaohui Tang, Christophe Krzeminski, Aurelien Lecavelier Des Etangs-Levallois, Zhenkun Chen, Emmanuel Dubois, Erich Kasper, Alim Karmous, Nicolas Reckinger, Denis Flandre, Laurent A. Francis, Jean-Pierre Collinge, Jean-Pierre Raskin

We present a new fully self-aligned single-electron memory with a single pair of nano floating gates, made of different materials (Si and Ge). The energy barrier that prevents stored charge leakage is induced not only by quantum effects but also by the conduction-band offset that arises between Ge…

Statistical analysis of multipath clustering in an indoor office environment

Emmeric Tanghe, Wout Joseph, M. Lienard, Abdelmottaleb Nasr, Paul Christian Stefanut, Luc Martens, Pierre Degauque

A parametric directional-based MIMO channel model is presented which takes multipath clustering into account. The directional propagation path parameters include azimuth of arrival (AoA), azimuth of departure (AoD), delay, and power. MIMO measurements are carried out in an indoor office environment…

Investigation of the negative differential resistance reproducibility in AlN/GaN double-barrier resonant tunnelling diodes

Mohamed Boucherit, Ali Soltani, Eva Monroy, Michel Rousseau, D. Deresmes, Maxime Berthe, Corentin Durand, Jean-Claude de Jaeger

AlN/GaN double-barrier resonant tunnelling diodes were grown by molecular beam epitaxy on GaN/sapphire template and processed into mesa diameters from 2 lm to 4 lm. The current-voltage characteristics were carried out in direct current operation and under-high vacuum. A sharp negative differential…

Low temperature tunneling current enhancement in silicide/Si Schottky contacts with nanoscale barrier width

N. Reckinger, Xing Tang, Emmanuel Dubois, G. Larrieu, D. Flandre, J.P. Raskin, A. Afzalian

The low temperature electrical behavior of adjacent silicide/Si Schottky contacts with or without dopant segregation is investigated. The electrical characteristics are very well modeled by thermionic-field emission for nonsegregated contacts separated by micrometer-sized gaps. Still, an excess of…

Tunability of aluminum nitride acoustic resonators: a phenomenological approach

Emmanuel Defay, Nizar Ben Hassine, Patrick Emery, Guy Parat, Julie Abergel, Arnaud Devos

A phenomenological approach is developed to identify the physical parameters causing the dc-voltage-induced tunability of aluminum nitride (AlN) acoustic resonators, widely used for RF filters. The typical resonance frequency of these resonators varies from 2.038 GHz at -200 V to 2.062 GHz at +200…

An analytical model for the intercell interference power in the downlink of wireless cellular networks

B. Pijcke, Marie Zwingelstein, Marc G. Gazalet, M Gharbi, Patrick Corlay

In this paper, we propose a methodology for estimating the statistics of the intercell interference power in the downlink of a multicellular network. We first establish an analytical expression for the probability law of the interference power when only Rayleigh multipath fading is considered. Next…

Very low effective Schottky barrier height for erbium disilicide contacts on n-Si through arsenic segregation

N. Reckinger, C. Poleunis, Emmanuel Dubois, C.A. Dutu, X.H. Tang, A. Delcorte, J.P. Raskin

The segregation of As+ ions implanted into thin Er films deposited on n-Si substrates is studied after ErSi2−x formation. The same lowering of the effective Schottky barrier height (SBH) below 0.12 eV is obtained at moderate annealing temperatures, regardless of the redistribution of As dopants at…
