A multi-differential operational amplifier, called OAmp3, designed for operation at temperatures up to minus 197 °С and developed on bipolar transistors and junction field-effect transistors of the master slice array МН2ХА030, is considered in the article. The circuitry features of the OAmp3 allow, due to the use of various negative feedback circuits, to implement a set of functions necessary for signal processing on a single amplifier: amplification (or current – voltage conversion), filtering, shift of the constant output voltage level. The performed measurements of OAmp3, connected as instrumentation amplifier circuit, showed that all manufactured products retain their performance in the temperature range from minus 150 °С to 20 °С, and individual samples – at minus 197 °С. It was found that the main reason for the loss of OAmp3 performance is an increase of the resistance of semiconductor resistors by almost 5.4 times at minus 197 °С compared to normal conditions and decrease in the junction field-effect transistor drain current. Together, these factors lead to decrease in the current consumption of the OAmp3 by almost 31 times at minus 180 °С compared to normal conditions. To reduce the temperature dependence of the current consumption and, thus, save the OAmp3 operability at low temperatures without changing the technological route of integrated circuits manufacturing, it is proposed to replace high-resistance semiconductor resistors with “pinch-resistors” formed on a small-signal p-junction field-effect transistor. The article presents the OAmp3 connection circuit in the form of an instrumental amplifier, the method and results of low-temperature measurements of experimental samples.

The fabrication of ion sensitive field effect transistors (ISFET) and microelectrode arrays for use as chemical sensors using a commercial CMOS fabrication process is described. The commercial technology is readily available through the Canadian Microelectronics Corporation; however, several of the recommended design rules must be ignored in preparing chemical sensors using this process. The ISFET devices show near theoretical response to K+ in aqueous solution (55 mV slope) when coated with a K+ sensitive membrane. An extended gate ion sensitive device is presented which offers advantages in encapsulation of ISFET sensors. The source-drain current of both devices show a linear response to log [Formula: see text] in contrast to ISFETs previously reported that have high internal lead resistances. Al and poly-Si microelectrode arrays are fabricated commercially and then Pt is electrodeposited on the microelectrodes. The resulting arrays show good cyclic voltammetric response to Fe(CN)64− and Ru(NH3)63+ and are relatively durable.

ABSTRACTThe fabrication and characterization of AlGaN/GaN metal-oxide-semiconductor heterostructure field-effect transistors (MOSHFETs) with the δ-doped barrier are reported. The incorporation of the SiO2 insulated-gate and the δ-doped barrier into HFET structures reduces the gate leakage and improves the 2D channel carrier mobility. The device has a high drain-current-driving and gate-control capabilities as well as a very high gate-drain breakdown voltage of 200 V, a cutoff frequency of 15 GHz and a maximum frequency of oscillation of 34 GHz for a gate length of 1 μm. These characteristics indicate a great potential of this structure for high-power-microwave applications.

Although extreme ultraviolet lithography (EUVL) has potential to enable 5-nm half-pitch resolution in semiconductor manufacturing, it faces a number of persistent challenges. Line-edge roughness (LER) is one of critical issues that significantly affect critical dimension (CD) and device performance because LER does not scale along with feature size. For LER creation and impacts, better understanding of EUVL process mechanism and LER impacts on fin-field-effect-transistors (FinFETs) performance is important for the development of new resist materials and transistor structure. In this paper, for causes of LER, a modeling of EUVL processes with 5-nm pattern performance was introduced using Monte Carlo method by describing the stochastic fluctuation of exposure due to photon-shot noise and resist blur. LER impacts on FinFET performance were investigated using a compact device method. Electric potential and drain current with fin-width roughness (FWR) based on LER and line-width roughness (LWR) were fluctuated regularly and quantized as performance degradation of FinFETs.

ABSTRACTIntegrated plastic circuits (IPCs) will become an integral component of future low cost electronics. For low cost processes IPCs have to be made of all-polymer Transistors. We present our recent results on fabrication of Organic Field-Effect Transistors (OFETs) and integrated inverters. Top-gate transistors were fabricated using polymer semiconductors and insulators. The source-drain structures were defined by standard lithography of Au on a flexible plastic film, and on top of these electrodes, poly(3-alkylthiophene) (P3AT) as semiconductor, and poly(4-hydroxystyrene) (PHS) as insulator were homogeneously deposited by spin-coating. The gate electrodes consist of metal contacts. With this simple set-up, the transistors exhibit excellent electric performance with a high source-drain current at source - drain and gate voltages below 30V. The characteristics show very good saturation behaviour for low biases and are comparable to results published for precursor pentacene. With this setup we obtain a mobility of 0.2cm2/Vs for P3AT. Furthermore, we discuss organic integrated inverters exhibiting logic capability. All devices show shelf-lives of several months without encapsulation.
