3D-IC’s by stacking and connecting dies of different functions with through-silicon via processes are emerging as an upcoming heterogeneous SOC enabler. Since connectivity between stacked layers may be limited by nearest-neighbor layers, the stagnation of [...]
Random Dopant Fluctuation in 10-nm-Gate Multi-Channel Gate-All-Around Nanowire Field Effect Transistors
This paper, for the first time, studies the random dopant fluctuation (RDF) in the 10-nm-gate multi-channel gate-all-around nanowire field-effect transistors (FETs). To characterize device’s physical and electrical characteristic fluctuation, a 3D statistically atomistic approach to [...]
Silver Nanoplate Array for Vertically Aligned P-type ZnO Nanorods
In this presentation, a monolayer of silver nanoplate is introduced as an epitaxial template and doping source for vertically aligned p-type ZnO nanorods. Silver nanoplates were synthesized through room temperature polyol process and the monolayer [...]
Ultra-Low Power Node for Body Sensor Network
Yahya E., Ismail M., Ismail Y., Ismail M., Ismail Y., American University in Cairo/ Zewail City of Science and Technology, EG
Medical electronics, especially implanted devices, are operated in harsh and unstable operating conditions in which these systems must operate correctly. Medical electronics are usually powered using batteries and/or energy harvesters. This implies that they must [...]
Record resistivity for in-situ grown horizontal carbon nanotubes interconnects

Carbon in the form of nanotubes (CNTs) and graphene is the only known material that can replace copper in integrated circuits to carry the high current densities associated with advanced interconnects. Its implementation is however [...]
Semiconducting Bilayer Graphene for Device Applications
Owing to its unique electronic, thermal, and mechanical properties, graphene has sparked enormous scientific interest since its discovery in 2004. However, the absence of a bandgap limits its applications in electronic and optoelectronic fields. Theoretical [...]
Information-Theoretic Estimates of Classical and Quantum Communication and Processing at Nanoscale
Nanotechnology resulted in new communication and processing paradigms. While conventional communication, computing and processing are supported by nanoscaled digital systems, quantum-centric computing, communication and processing are emerged. This paper reports fundamental, applied and experimental multidisciplinary [...]
tunneling rate in chaotic quantum system
We study electron spectra and electron tunneling in double quantum systems: quantum wells (QWs), quantum dots (QDs) and quantum rings (QRs). We especially study the relation between their chaotic properties and tunneling. In particular we [...]
Unipolar resistive switching and current flow mechanism in thin film SnO2
Talukdar A., Almeida S., Mireles J., MacDonald E., Pierluissi J.H., Garcia E., Zubia D., University of Texas at El Paso, US
Non-volatile memories play a very important role in modern day electronics. In harsh environments such as space and weapons systems, radiation-hardness is an essential requirement. Radiation-hardening-by-design is an effective solution which is based on redundancy [...]
Temperature Stability of PAG-Doped-Graphene, Towards Commercial Production of Graphene Integrated Circuits
In our previous work we found out a highly in air stable technique, defect-less, and relatively high electron mobility for n-doping graphene nanomesh using PAG (an element of SU-8 resist compound). This work demonstrated the [...]

Effect of Porosity on Specific Resistance of Inkjet-Printed Silver Nanoparticles during Laser Sintering
Moon S.J., Moon Y.J., Kang H., Kang K., Kang H., Kang K., Lee S-H., Hwang J.Y., Moon S.J., Moon Y.J., Korea Institue of Industrial Technology, KR
In nano-metal sintering, the electrical resistivity of nano-metals is related to their structure. Electrical resistivity is affected by grain size and density. Larger grains and denser films yield lower electrical resistivity. This work investigated the [...]
A method to produce microelectronic devices on textile and paper substrates
In this article, electrically conducting coatings of poly(3, 4 – ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) were synthetized on textile substrates by the vapor phase polymerization (VPP) method, using water as solvent. The VPP method is considerably more sustainable [...]
High Performance Organic Transistors based on Molecular Doping
Organic transistors hold the promise of enabling the field of flexible electronics. However, despite significant progress in the past, the performance and reliability of organic transistors has to be improved further to turn the dream [...]
