High value sheet resistance (Rs' 1K-33K\ulcorner/) polysilicon resistors were fabricated using double ion implantation with boron as the major dopant and phosphorus compensation. It is observed that Rs sensitivity to the net doping concentration is decreased by one order of magnitude compared to the conventional (boron implanted)polysilicon resistors. The temperature co-efficient of resistance (TCR) measured between 25\ulcorner and 125\ulcorner shows equivalent values to those of non-compensated resistors for the same Rs. A qualitative electrical conductiion mechanism for compensated polysilicon resistor is proposed, based on the existing grain boundary charge trapping theory.

Tunneling barrier engineered charge trap flash (TBE-CTF) memory capacitor were fabricated using the tunneling barrier engineering technique. Variable oxide thickness (VARIOT) barrier and CRESTED barrier consisting of thin $SiO_2$ and $Si_3N_4$ dielectrics layers were used as engineered tunneling barrier. The charge trapping characteristic with different metal gates are also investigated. A larger memory window was achieved from the TBE-CTF memory with high workfunction metal gate.

The behavior of space charge in PE/ionomer blends has been investigated using the thermally stimulated current (TSC) technique. In the blends, at least two TSC peaks over the temperature range from -50 to 100\ulcorner are observed, one at -5 ~ 10\ulcorner (a peak) and the others at above 60\ulcorner (a peak). The a peak is assigned as the orientation of dipoles from the ionomer component. Two a peaks seem to be related to the charge trapping at sites related to the crystalline phases. One a peak is associated with the ionic interfaces and the other with the ethylene chains without the ionic interfaces. The amount of charges stored in PE/Surlyn 1652 blends increases as the poling field increases over the field range of +8 ~ +30 kV/mm, whereas that in PE/Surlyn 1601 blends increases slightly at low poling fields and then decreases at high poling fields above +10 kV/mm. Exact reasons for such a dirrerence are not known at this point.

In this paper, it is attempted to distinguish the charged particles and to judge the polarity by the use of Thermally Stimulated Current(TSC) and Temperature Gradient Thermally Stimulated Surface Potential Measurement(TG-TSSP)with experimental insulation material XLPE-EVA for power cables which is made by blending cross-linked polyethylene(XLPE) and ethylene-vinylacetate copolymer(EVA). In addition, it is performed to investigate the effect of EVA blending. From the experimental results, it is known that for the case of XLPE-EVA blended experimental material, the generation of space charged electric field is not obtained in the high temperature region due to the obatruction of the injection of trapping carrier by the electron and the positive hole.

고전압 절연 게이트 바이폴라 트랜지스터 (IGBT)의 개발로 기존의 GTO(Gate Turnoff Thyristor)가 적용되는 분야에서 더 효율적인 새로운 소자로 인정받고 있다. IGBT는 금속 산화막 반도체 트랜지스터(MOSFET)와 바이폴라 전력 트랜지스터의 장점을 결합한 소자이다. IGBT의 전기적 특성의 변화는 주로 입력단자에 MOSFET와 출력단자에 PNP 트랜지스터의 특성에 달려있다. IGBT의 가장 중요한 설계변수중의 하나인 문턱전압의 변화는 방사선이 존재하는 환경에 게이트 산화막(oxide)에서 전하포획(charge trapping)에 의해 발생되고 에너지 손실을 야기시킨다. 또한, 에너지 손실은 초퍼회로의 인덕턴스 값이 변화될 때 발생됨을 연구한다. 본 논문에서 IGBT의 전기적 특성을 SPICE로 시뮬레이션하고, IGBT 기반 인덕턴스와 문턱전압의 변화에 따른 전기적 특성을 분석하고자 한다.

유기 메모리 절연막 제작을 위해 일반적으로 사용되어지는 습식법이 아닌 건식법 중 플라즈마 중합법을 이용하였다. 유기 절연 박막으로 사용된 단량체는 Styrene과 MMA을 사용하고, 터널링 박막은 MMA를 사용하며, 메모리 박막은 열기상증착법을 이용한 Au 박막을 사용하였다. 최적화된 소자의 구조는 Au의 메모리층의 두께를 7 nm, Styrene 게이트 절연막의 두께를 400 nm, MMA 터널링 박막의 두께를 30 nm로 증착하여 제작된 부동 게이트형 유기 메모리 소자는 40/-40 V의 double sweep시 27 V의 히스테리시스 전압을 얻을 수 있었다. 이 특성을 기준하여 유기 메모리의 전하 포집 특성을 얻을 수 있었다. 유기 재료 중 MMA 대비 Styrene의 전하 포집 특성이 좋은 것으로 보아 향후 부동 게이트인 Au 박막을 유기 재료인 Styrene으로 대체하여 플렉시블 소자의 가능성을 기대한다.

As a promising candidate to replace the conventional floating gate flash memories, polysilicon-oxide-nitride-oxidesilicon (SONOS)-type nonvolatile semiconductor memories have been investigated widely in the past several years. SONOS-type memories have some advantages over the conventional floating gate flash memories, such as lower operating voltage, excellent endurance and compatibility with standard complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technology. However, their operating speed and date retention characteristics are still the bottlenecks to limit the applications of SONOS-type memories. Recently, various approaches have been used to make a trade-off between the operating speed and the date retention characteristics. Application of high-k dielectrics to SONOS-type memories is a predominant route. This article provides the state-of-the-art research progress of high-k dielectrics applicable to SONOS-type nonvolatile semiconductor memories. It begins with a short description of working mechanism of SONOS-type memories, and then deals with the materials' requirements of high-k dielectrics used for SONOS-type memories. In the following section, the microstructures of high-k dielectrics used as tunneling layers, charge trapping layers and blocking layers in SONOS-type memories, and their impacts on the memory behaviors are critically reviewed. The improvement of the memory characteristics by using multilayered structures, including multilayered tunneling layer or multilayered charge trapping layer are also discussed. Finally, this review is concluded with our perspectives towards the future researches on the high-k dielectrics applicable to SONOS-type nonvolatile semiconductor memories.

The effects of off-state bias stress on the characteristics of p-type poly-Si TFT were investigated. To reduce the gate-induced drain leakage (GIDL) current, the off-state bias stress was changed by varying Vgs and Vds. After application of the off-state bias stress, the Vgs causing GIDL current was dramatically increased from 1 to 10 V, and thus, the Vgs margin to turn off the TFT was improved. The on-current and subthreshold swing in the aged TFT was maintained. We performed a technology computer-aided design (TCAD) simulation to describe the aged characteristics. The aged-transfer characteristics were well described by the local charge trapping. The activation energy of the GIDL current was measured for the pristine and aged characteristics. The reduced GIDL current was mainly a thermionic field-emission current.

Silver nanoparticles were loaded onto g-C₃N₄ (CN) with a nanoroll-type morphology (Ag/CN) synthesized using a co-polymerization method for highly selective conversion of toxic nitrobenzene to industrially-valuable aminobenzene. Scanning electron microscopy and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) images of Ag/CN revealed the generation of the nanoroll-type morphology of CN. Additionally, HRTEM analysis provided direct evidence of the generation of a Schottky barrier between Ag and CN in the Ag/CN nanohybrid. Photoluminescence analysis and photocurrent measurements suggested that the introduction of Ag into CN could minimize charge recombination rates, enhancing the mobility of electrons and holes to the surface of the photocatalyst. Compared to pristine CN, Ag/CN displayed much higher ability in the photocatalytic reduction of nitrobenzene to aminobenzene, underscoring the importance of Ag deposition on CN. The enhanced photocatalytic performance and photocurrent generation were primarily ascribed to the Schottky junction formed at the Ag/CN interface, greater visible-light absorption efficiency, and improved charge separation associated with the nanoroll morphology of CN. Ag would act as an electron sink/trapping center, enhancing the charge separation, and also serve as a good co-catalyst. Overall, the synergistic effects of these features of Ag/CN improved the photocatalytic conversion of nitrobenzene to aminobenzene.

The effect of silver nanoparticles (NPs) incorporation on the electronic properties of poly (3, 4-ethylenedioxythiphene) : poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT : PSS) films was investigated. The surface of silver NPs was stabilized with trisodium citrate to control the size of silver NPs and prevent their aggregation. We obtained ca. 5 nm sized silver NPs and dispersed NPs in PEDOT : PSS solution. Sheet resistance, surface morphology, bonding state, and work function values of the PEDOT : PSS films were modified by silver NPs incorporation as well as annealing temperature. Sodium in silver NPs solution could lead to a decrease of work function of PEDOT : PSS; however, large content of silver NPs have an effect on the increase in work function, resulting from charge localization on the silver NPs and a decrease in the number of charge-trapping-related defects by chemical bond formation.
