This paper presents the theory, fabrication and experimental testing results for a multiple state Non-Volatile Memory (NVM), comprised of hafnium oxide high-k dielectric tunnel and gate barriers as well as a Silicon Quantum Dot Superlattice (QDSL) implemented for the floating gate and inversion channel (QDG) and (QDC) respectively. With the conclusion of Moore’s Law for conventional transistor fabrication, regarding the minimum gate size, current efforts in memory cell research and development are focused on bridging the gap between the conventions of the past sixty years and the future of computing. One method of continuing the increasing chip density is to create multistate devices capable of storing and processing additional logic states beyond 1 and 0. Replacing the silicon nitride floating gate of a conventional Flash NVM with QDSL gives rise to minibands that result in greater control over charge levels stored in the QDG and additional intermediate states. Utilizing Hot Carrier Injection (HCI) programming, for the realized device, various magnitudes of gate voltage pulses demonstrated the ability to accurately control the charge levels stored in the QDG. This corresponds to multiple threshold voltage shifts allowing detection of multiple states during read operations.

This paper presents simulation of spatial wavefunction switched (SWS) field-effect transistors (FETs) comprising of two vertically stacked quantum dot channels. An analog behavior model (ABM) was used to compare the experimental I-V characteristics of a fabricated QD-SWS-FET. Each channel consists of two quantum dot layers and are connected to the dedicated drains D2 and D1, respectively. The fabricated SWS-FET has one source and one gate. The ABM simulation models SWS-FET comprising of two independent conventional BSIM FETs with their (W/L) ratios, capacitances and other device parameters. The agreement in simulation and experimental data will advance modeling of SWS based adders, logic gates and SRAMs.

An analytic model of [Formula: see text]–[Formula: see text] characteristics of photovoltaic devices based on quantum dot (QD) solids is developed. The model yields the upper estimation of the power conversion efficiency and predicts its extremal dependence on the diffusion length of excitons. The predictive power of our model is approved by the comparison with the experimental data for PbS QD-based solar cells.

ABSTRACTWe present a theoretical model in order to describe both thermal and electronic in-plane transports in quantum dot superlattice. The model takes into account the modifications of electron and phonon transport due to the space confinement caused by the mismatch in electronic and thermal properties between dot and host materials. The developed model provides the analysis of the in-plane superlattice electronic and thermal properties versus quantum dot size and their arrangement. Numerical calculations were carried out for a structure that consists of multiple layers of Si with regimented germanium quantum dots. The simulation results of the lattice thermal conductivity are in a good agreement with experimental data.
