1. Germanium layer transfer and device fabrication for monolithic 3D integration
Sammanfattning : Monolithic three-dimensional (M3D) integration, it has been proposed,can overcome the limitations of further circuits’ performance improvementand functionality expansion. The emergence of the internet of things (IoT) isdriving the semiconductor industry toward the fabrication of higher-performancecircuits with diverse functionality. LÄS MER
2. Silicon Germanium heterojunction bipolar transistors : Large-signal modeling and low-frequency noise characterization aspects
Sammanfattning : In this thesis, aspects of the Silicon Germanium (SiGe) Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) are addressed. A physics-based electrical large-signal model including thermal dependence has been developed and is implemented using a commercially available simulator package. LÄS MER
3. Ge/high-k Gates for Monolithic 3D Integration
Sammanfattning : Continuous scaling of transistor dimensions has been in the heart of semiconductorindustry for many years. Recently the scaling has been enabled by various performance boosters which resulted in increased processing complexity and cost, forcing the chip manufacturers to look for some alternative solutions.
