查看更多>>摘要:In this work,a conventional HfO2 gate dielec-tric layer is replaced with a 3-nm ferroelectric(Fe)HZO layer in the gate stacks of advanced fin field-effect tran-sistors(FinFETs).Fe-induced characteristics,e.g.,negative drain induced barrier lowering(N-DIBL)and negative differential resistance(NDR),are clearly observed for both p-and n-type HZO-based FinFETs.These characteristics are attributed to the enhanced ferroelectricity of the 3-nm hafnium zirconium oxide(HZO)film,caused by Al doping from the TiAlC capping layer.This mechanism is verified for capacitors with structures similar to the FinFETs.Owing to the enhanced ferroelectricity and N-DIBL phe-nomenon,the drain current(IDs)of the HZO-FinFETs is greater than that of HfO2-FinFETs and obtained at a lower operating voltage.Accordingly,circuits based on HZO-FinFET achieve higher performance than those based on HfO2-FinFET at a low voltage drain(VDD),which indicates the application feasibility of the HZO-FinFETs in the ultra-low power integrated circuits.

查看更多>>摘要:The distinctive intrinsic heat treatment(IHT)originating from cyclic reheating in the laser-directed energy deposition(LDED)has attracted growing attention in recent years.In this investigation,simulations and experimental characterizations were performed to examine the impact of IHT on the microstructure and mechanical properties of LDED-fabricated CrCoNi medium-entropy alloy(MEA).The results show that the intensity of the IHT is proportional to the utilized laser energy density(LED).As the LED increased,significant dynamic recrystallization and grain refinement occurred within the alloy due to the enhanced intensity of IHT.However,the high LED leads to severe hot cracking within the as-built MEA,resulting in inferior ductility.By decreasing LED,the hot cracking was effectively eliminated.Meanwhile,low LED weakened the intensity of IHT and consequently inhibited kinetic con-ditions of dynamic recrystallization,resulting in a hetero-geneous grain structure characterized by multi-scale-sized grains.This structure provides significant hetero-deforma-tion-induced hardening during plastic deformation,enabling the alloy to have a sustainable work-hardening capacity.We expect that this work will have implications in taking full advantage of the unique IHT of the LDED process to fabricate MEAs with excellent metallurgical quality and mechanical performance.
