Revealing DRAM Operating GuardBands through Workload-Aware Error Predictive Modeling
By Technical Paper Link - 15 Dec, 2020 - Comments: 0

Abstract Abstract—Improving the energy efficiency of DRAMs becomes very challenging due to the growing demand for storage capacity and failures induced by the manufacturing process. To protect against failures, vendors adopt conservative margins in the refresh period and supply voltage. Previously, it was shown that these margins are too pessimistic and will become impractical due to high ... » read more

Graphene and two-dimensional materials for silicon technology
By Technical Paper Link - 02 Oct, 2020 - Comments: 1

Abstract: "The development of silicon semiconductor technology has produced breakthroughs in electronics—from the microprocessor in the late 1960s to early 1970s, to automation, computers and smartphones—by downscaling the physical size of devices and wires to the nanometre regime. Now, graphene and related two-dimensional (2D) materials offer prospects of unprecedented advances in device ... » read more

Development Of Planarizing Spin-On Carbon Materials For High-Temperature Processes
By Brewer Science - 20 Aug, 2020 - Comments: 0

Multilayer lithography is used for advanced semiconductor processes to pattern complex structures. As more and more procedures incorporate a high-temperature process, such as chemical vapor deposition (CVD), the need for thermally stable materials increases. For certain applications, a spin-on carbon (SOC) layer under the CVD layer is required to survive through a high-temperature process. ... » read more

Super Planarizing Material For Trench And Via Arrays
By Brewer Science - 21 May, 2020 - Comments: 0

As device design scales and becomes more complex, fine control of patterning and transfer steps is integral. Planarization of deep trenches and via arrays has always been a challenge. Aspect ratios continue to increase while critical dimensions shrink, and typical trench fill schemes are no longer able to meet the fill and planarization requirements. Traditional design of spin-on carbon (SOC) m... » read more

Thin Film Characterization For Advanced Patterning
By Brewer Science - 18 Mar, 2020 - Comments: 0

Authors: Zhimin Zhu; Xianggui Ye; Sean Simmons; Catherine Frank; Tim Limmer; James Lamb Brewer Science, Inc. (United States) A variable-angle spectroscopic ellipsometer (VASE) is an essential tool for measuring the thickness of a thin film, as well as its n and k optical parameters. However, for films thinner than 10 nm, precise measurement is very challenging. In this paper, the root cause... » read more

NTSB Releases Report On 2018 Silicon Valley Tesla Autopilot Fatal Accident
By Technical Paper Link - 14 Feb, 2020 - Comments: 0

NTSB has just released a new report on the March 23, 2018 Tesla accident in Mountain View, CA.  The 2017 Tesla Model X P100D electric-powered passenger car operated with advanced driver assistance (ADAS) features – a feature  Tesla calls “autopilot” – departed  the southbound travel lanes of Highway 101 and struck a previously damaged crash attenuator. The driver, the sole occupant o... » read more

Efficient Spin-Orbit Torque Switching with Non-Epitaxial Chalcogenide Heterostructures
By Technical Paper Link - 31 Jan, 2020 - Comments: 0

Abstract: "The spin–orbit torques (SOTs) generated from topological insulators (TIs) have gained increasing attention in recent years. These TIs, which are typically formed by epitaxially grown chalcogenides, possess extremely high SOT efficiencies and have great potential to be employed in next-generation spintronics devices. However, epitaxy of these chalcogenides is required to ensure the... » read more
