Every serious microelectronics student should have a copy of this book!
2 Why do we need to know about Nano-electronic materials details? A ase study of the evolution of the Transistor Moore s Law: The Growth of the emiconductor Industry Moore s law (Gordon Moore, co-founder of Intel, 965): Empirical rule which predicts that the number of components per chip doubles every 8-24 months Moore s Law turned out to be valid for more than 30 years (and still is!)

7 The Basic Device in MO Technology is the MOFET Direction of Desired urrent flow is controlled by an electric field but this field can also drive current through a small gate. Modern (pre- 2009) transistors have more power loss in the gate circuit than the source - drain! New approaches are needed.
8 Why do we need to know about Nano-electronic materials details? A ase study of the evolution of the Transistor Early MOFET: io 2 Gate Oxide, Aluminum (Al) ource/drain/gate metals Problem: As sizes shrank, devices became unreliable due to metallic spiking through the gate ide. olution: Replace Metal Gate with a heavily doped poly-silicon. This change carried us for decades with challenges in fabrication (lithography) being the primary barriers that were overcome until
9 Why do we need to know about Nano-electronic materials details? A ase study of the evolution of the Transistor emi-modern MOFET (late 990 s vintage): io 2 Gate Oxide, Polysilicon gate metals, metal source/drain contacts and Aluminum metal interconnects Problem: As interconnect sizes shrank, Aluminum lines became too resistive leading to slow R time constants olution: Replace Aluminum with multimetal contacts (TiN, TaN, etc ) and copper interconnects. This change carried us for ~ decade with challenges in fabrication (lithography) being the primary barriers that were overcome until
10 Why do we need to know about Nano-electronic materials details? A ase study of the evolution of the Transistor Microprocessor Power onsumption Gates became so thin that the leakage currents through the thin Gate insulator consumed more power than the drainsource circuit! Gate A new approach is needed! from G. Moore, I 2003

Moore, I 2003 D D insulator I insulator k Gate Leakage kinsulator E Gate leakage current can be dramatically lowered by increasing Gate insulator V Gate thickness but to do so without changing the insulator t channel conductivity, you have to increase Gate the dielectric constant of the insulator. t e Gate NEW GATE INLATOR FOR THE FIRT TIME IN 60 YEAR!!!!

35 Flatband Voltage (and apacitance) Most Junior level classes assume: A metal can be selected that aligns perfectly with the fermi-level in the semiconductor No charges exist in the Oxide These are generally not true (once again, we lied to you), leading to a pre-bias on the device This shifts the V urve and requires a voltage be applied to obtain flat band conditions. To determine V FB, one must compare the measured to theoretical V curves and thus must know the theoretical flatband capacitance
