FeFETs
• Structure similar to a MOSFET– Substrate with source/drain, dielectric, gate
• Dielectric has magnetic dipoles• VGS can “flip” the dipole moment• The dipole is either pointing towards or away
from the substrate• One direction creates a channel of minority
carriers (inversion ON)• One direction pulls majority carriers towards the
gate (accumulation OFF)

FeFET Operation
• Structure shows hysteresis
• State stores as which side of hystersis curve FET is on
• Must be programmed on/off

FeRAMs
• For smaller cell, instead of 1T1C, fold ferroelectric capacitor into gate dielectric
• Challenge is dielectric to silicon interface– Buffer layer required
series capacitance
![Page 8: Tutorial 8 Derek Wright Wednesday, March 9 th, 2005](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022013004/56649e355503460f94b24a8b/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
FeRAMs
• By using High-k dielectric (LaAlO3), series capacitance issue is reduced
• New stack shows good memory window
![Page 9: Tutorial 8 Derek Wright Wednesday, March 9 th, 2005](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022013004/56649e355503460f94b24a8b/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
FeRAMs
• With the improved stack, good storage characteristics are observed
![Page 10: Tutorial 8 Derek Wright Wednesday, March 9 th, 2005](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022013004/56649e355503460f94b24a8b/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Resonant Tunneling Quantum Devices
• When structures are on the order of the wavelength of an electron, quantum effects become important
• Tunneling is one effect that is useful• Since electrons are waves, they can have
resonance properties, too• We can use resonance and tunneling
together to make devices with interesting transfer characteristics
![Page 11: Tutorial 8 Derek Wright Wednesday, March 9 th, 2005](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022013004/56649e355503460f94b24a8b/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Resonant Tunneling
• Thin barriers allow tunneling• However, the distance between two barriers
limits the electron’s energy to discrete values• This results in discrete electron energies (lower
than the barrier) being allowed to pass• It also distorts the transmission of energies
higher than the barrier due to interference effects
![Page 12: Tutorial 8 Derek Wright Wednesday, March 9 th, 2005](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022013004/56649e355503460f94b24a8b/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Resonant Tunneling
![Page 13: Tutorial 8 Derek Wright Wednesday, March 9 th, 2005](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022013004/56649e355503460f94b24a8b/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Single Electron Devices
• Single electron devices:– Benefit from scaling– Dramatically reduce power
• Simple device has:– a quantum dot– a capacitively coupled gate– a tunnel barrier
• Gate draws in or pushes out an e- through the tunnel barrier on the other side
![Page 14: Tutorial 8 Derek Wright Wednesday, March 9 th, 2005](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022013004/56649e355503460f94b24a8b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Single Electron Devices
• More than one electron can enter the box under discrete gate bias– Can accurately control
the number of electrons in the dot
