Learning the Physics and Chemistry of Surfaces via Machine Vision and Deep Data Analysis

Ziatdinov M., Maksov A., Kalinin S.V., Oak Ridge National Laboratory, US

The last decade has witnessed an enormous increase in the size and quality of datasets produced by microscopic and spectroscopic experimental techniques. Particularly, the recent advances in scanning transmission electron and scanning probe microscopies have [...]

G-Mode KPFM: Bringing Kelvin probe force microscopy into the information age

Collins L., Kalinin S., Jesse S., Oak Ridge National Laboratory, US

Fundamental mechanisms of energy storage, corrosion, sensing, and multiple biological functionalities are directly coupled to electrical processes and ionic dynamics at both the solid-gas and solid-liquid interfaces. In many cases, these processes are spatially inhomogeneous [...]

New Elements and Features in the Process Design Kits for a FinFET Technology

Lu N., Baizley A., Guan X., Johnson J., McCullen J., Ozbek A., Rahman A., Wang H., Yu M., Zemke C., Rausch W., Wachnik R., IBM, US

Parasitic resistance is a primary performance constraint in FinFET technologies. We report that new and innovative elements and features have been introduced into Process Design Kits for 14nm FinFET technology. They enable accurate and efficient [...]

Modeling Independent Multi-Gate MOSFET

Duarte J.P., Khandelwal S., Chang H-L, Chauhan Y.S., Hu C., University of California-Berkeley, US

In this paper a fully-featured turn-key compact model for independent multi-gate MOSFETs is presented. This industry standard compact model is called BSIM-IMG. The two independent (front- and back-gate) control of the channel charge in these [...]

A Physics Based Approach to Compact Modeling of Noise in Modern Bipolar Transistors

Niu G., Auburn University, US

A physics based approach to compact modeling of bipolar transistor noise is described. Frequency dependent intrinsic base current noise, its correlation to intrinsic collector current noise, avalanche of intrinsic collector current noise entering the collector-base [...]
