The systematic turn in cognitive neuroscience
Publication Year: 2006, Page(s):2 - 7The modes of interaction within a system are important in understanding many artificial and natural entities. It sounds like a cliche to point out the importance of seeing the brain as a system. Even so, today we do not understand the essential systems level features that make it possible for the brain to realize its remarkable functionality, including dynamical adaptability, sensori-motor coordin...

Device technology innovation for exascale computing
Publication Year: 2006, Page(s):8 - 11
Cited by: Papers (8)For the past 40 years, the scaling of CMOS device technology has enabled system performance to double every two years. However, emerging classes of applications for which network-speed processing and data-intensive modeling are integral components will demand a much faster rate of improvement, such as 2x/year in order to reach exaflop capabilities (100x-1000x over present systems) by the end of th...

Guiding principles toward future gate stacks given by the construction of new physical concepts
Publication Year: 2006, Page(s):196 - 197Recent LSI technologies require the introduction of a wide variety of materials and structures in addition to conventional aggressive down-scaling. As a result, present semiconductor devices contain various kinds of nano-scale interfaces and nano-structures. In this paper, we show that conventional physics concepts cannot be applied directly to these interfaces or structures and that construction ... View full abstract»

Charged defects reduction in gate insulator with multivalent materials
Publication Year: 2006, Page(s):200 - 201
Cited by: Papers (2) | Patents (2)Charged defects in the gate insulating oxide cause various degradations in operating MOSFET such as flat-band voltage shifts or threshold voltage instabilities. Excess or deficient oxygen atoms in the oxide layer are relevant to those fixed charges, and thus oxygen concentration must be carefully controlled in the fabrication process. Given the fact that the optimum ambient atmosphere strongly dep... View full abstract»

Correlation among crystal defects, depletion regions and junction leakage in sub-30-nm gate-length MOSFETs: Direct examinations by electron holography
Publication Year: 2006, Page(s):202 - 203Electron-holography electrostatic-potential analysis, in conjunction with transmission-electron-microscopy crystal-defect analysis, revealed how halo-implantation and millisecond annealing (MSA) conditions affect defect distributions at source/drain junctions in scaled MOSFETs. The key findings of this analysis are as follows: first, nanometer-scale defects exist at the junction near the gate, sec... View full abstract»
