  2. 11. Integration of thulium silicate for enhanced scalability of high-k/metal gate CMOS technology

    Author : Eugenio Dentoni Litta; Per-Erik Hellström; Mikael Östling; Lars-Åke Ragnarsson; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; thulium; silicate; TmSiO; Tm2O3; interfacial layer; IL; CMOS; high-k; ALD; Informations- och kommunikationsteknik; Information and Communication Technology;

    Abstract : High-k/metal gate stacks have been introduced in CMOS technology during the last decade in order to sustain continued device scaling and ever-improving circuit performance. Starting from the 45 nm technology node, the stringent requirements in terms of equivalent oxide thickness and gate current density have rendered the replacement of the conventional SiON/poly-Si stack unavoidable.

  4. 12. Ferroelectric Memristors - Materials, Interfaces and Applications

    Author : Robin Athle; Institutionen för elektro- och informationsteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; neuromorphic computing; Hafnium oxide; Memristor; Ferroelectric;

    Abstract : The backbone of modern computing systems rely on two key things: logic and memory, and while computing power hasseen tremendous advancements through scaling of the fundamental building block – the transistor, memory access hasn’tevolved as rapidly, leading to significant memory-bound systems. Additionally, the rapid evolution of machine learningand deep neural network (DNN) applications, has exposed the fundamental limitations of the traditional von Neumanncomputing architecture, due to its heavy reliance on memory access.

  5. 13. Design and Optimization of CO2 sorbents for Point Source Emissions and Direct Air Capture

    Author : Ribooga Chang; Ocean Cheung; Jean-Francois Boily; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; CCS; CO2 Sorbents; Direct Air Capture;

    Abstract : This thesis presents a comprehensive study on the design and optimization of CO2 sorbents, targeting two distinct applications: CO2 capture from point source emissions and Direct Air Capture (DAC). The research first introduces Na2HfO3 as a potential CO2 sorbent for point source emissions, using the molten salt effects of Na2CO3 and the thermal stability of HfO2. READ MORE
