For the first time, a comprehensive study going from the integration of 3D stacked nanosheets Gate-All-Around (GAA) MOSFET devices to SPICE modeling is proposed. Devices have been successfully fabricated on SOI substrates using a replacement high-\kappa metal gate process and self-aligned-contacts. Back-biasing is herein efficiently used to highlight a drastic improvement of electrostatics in th...Show More
In this paper we analyze recent progress in Phase- Change Memory (PCM) technology targeting both Storage Class Memory and embedded applications. The challenge to achieve a high temperature data retention without compromising the device programming speed can be addressed by material engineering. We show that volume and thermal confinement improvement of the phase-change material enables a high (10-...Show More
This work investigates the possibility to reduce the Solid Phase Epitaxy Regrowth (SPER) temperature for dopant activation needed in 3D sequential integration. The electrical results obtained on 28nm FDSOI devices show that 500°C SPER can yield similar performance to that of 600°C SPER and 1050°C spike anneal. This paper highlights the advantages of using a -oriented channel and tilted impla...Show More
For the first time, a low temperature (LT) FinFET process is demonstrated, using Solid Phase Epitaxy Regrowth (SPER), gate last integration and Self Aligned Contact (SAC). The LT devices exhibit performances close to those of the High Temperature Process Of Reference (HT POR).

In the context of the development of silicon photonics, various Ti- and Ni-based alloyed metallizations have been investigated for the purpose of forming low resistivity and Si CMOS-compatible contacts to n-InP.

This work provides breakthroughs in key technological modules for high performance and reliable 3D Sequential Integration with intermediate BEOL (iBEOL) in-between tiers. We demonstrate that (i) a high-quality solid phase epitaxy process is possible at 500°C, (ii) TiN native oxide removal prior to poly deposition leads to an improvement in gate stack reliability below 525°C and (iii) state-of-the-...Show More
3D sequential integration requires top FETs processed with a low thermal budget (500–600°C). In this work, high performance low temperature FDSOI devices are obtained thanks to the adapted extension first architecture and the introduction of mobility boosters (pMOS: SiGe 27% channel / SiGe:B 35% RSD and nMOS: SiC:P RSD). This first demonstration of n and p extension first FDSOI devices shows that ...Show More
For the first time, a full 3D CMOS over CMOS CoolCube™ integration is demonstrated with a top level compatible with state of the art high performance FDSOI (Fully-Depleted Silicon On Insulator) process requirements such as High-k/metal gate or raised source and drain. Functional 3D inverters with either PMOS or NMOS on the top level are highlighted. Furthermore, Si layer transfer above a 28nm W Me...Show More
In 3D sequential integration, the top transistor thermal budget must be reduced to preserve bottom MOSFET performance. In order to relax this thermal budget limitation, the thermal stability of the bottom level must be increased, especially for the silicide. In that purpose, Ni0.9Co0.1 alloy is proposed to replace the current Ni0.85Pt0.15 silicide. For the first time, this Ni0.9Co0.1 salicide has ...Show More
We demonstrate in this paper a fast and simple method for evidencing and classifying the ambipolar response of tunneling-based field effect transistors in pull-down (nFET-like) and pull-up (pFET-like) modes. This technique enables to unequivocally determine whether carrier injection on either side of the device occurs via band-to-band-tunneling or single carrier tunneling through a Schottky barrie...Show More
Combining Resistive RAM concept with Vertical NAND technology and design, Vertical RRAM (VRRAM) was recently proposed as a cost-effective and extensible technology for future mass data storage applications [1]. 3D RRAM based neural networks were also proposed to emulate the potentiation and depression of a synapse [2], but more complex circuits were not discussed. In previous works [3-4], various ...Show More

A kinetic Monte Carlo model of the CBRAM has been developed considering ionic hopping and chemical reaction dynamics. Based on inputs from ab initio calculations and the physical properties of the materials, the model offers the simulation of both the Forming/SET and the Data Reten...Show More
An easy-to-fabricate, low-cost, sidewall TiN/HfO2/Ti vertical resistive RAM (VRRAM) device is proposed. Devices with bottom electrode thickness down to 10nm were fabricated and characterized. Forming, SET and RESET voltages of respectively 2V, 0.5V and -0.5V were measured. A stable memory window of one decade was maintained after 105s at 200°C. The impact of scaling on the operating voltages and m...Show More
We present for the first time sub-100nm poly-Silicon nanowire (poly-Si NW) based NEMS resonators for low cost cointegrated mass sensors on CMOS featuring excellent performance when compared to crystalline silicon. In particular, comparable quality factors (130 in the air, 3900 in vacuum) and frequency stabilities are demonstrated. The minimum measured Allan deviation of 7×10-7 leads to a mass reso...Show More
In this paper, we deeply investigate for the 1st time at our knowledge the impact of the CBRAM memory stack on the Forming, SET and RESET operations.

We propose guidelines to op...Show More
Short-gate length epitaxial Si1-xGex/Si multi-(core/shell) p-type nanowire (NW) transistors with high-permittivity dielectric and metal gate were fabricated and their electrical properties examined. Silicon NWs were first of all patterned in ultrathin silicon-on-insulator wafers by lithography and etching. Selective epitaxial growth of Si0.7Ge0.3/Si or Si0.7Ge0.3/Si/Si0.7Ge0.3/Si shells was then p...Show More

In this paper, we investigate the performances of carbon-doped Ge2Sb2Te5 films (named hereafter GST) which have been integrated together with a thin titanium capping layer into Phase-Change Memory devices. We show that the carbon content into GST and the titanium cap layer thickness can be optimized to obtain an Amorphous As-Deposited (A-AD) phase which is stable under both the typical Back End-Of...Show More
In this paper, we show that performances of Ge2Sb2Te5-based phase-change memory (PCM) cells can be improved by the insertion of a thin HfO2 interfacial layer between the phase-change material and the tungsten plug. Significant reduction of the RESET and SET currents and of the energy required to switch the PCM cells are demonstrated. In addition, compared with pure GST reference cells, the presenc...Show More
