Imec demonstrates breakthrough in ferroelectric memory
Imec has announced at the 2017 Symposia on VLSI Technology and Circuits the world’s first demonstration of a vertically stacked ferroelectric Al doped HfO2 device for NAND applications. Using a new material and a novel architecture, imec has created a non-volatile memory concept with attractive characteristics for power consumption, switching speed, scalability and retention.
Record low source/drain contact resistivity for PMOS transistors
At this week’s 2017 Symposia on VLSI Technology and Circuits taking place in Japan, imec, the research and innovation hub in nano-electronics and digital technology, reported record breaking values below 10-9Ω/cm2for PMOS source/drain contact resistivity. These results were obtained through shallow Gallium implantation on p-SiliconGermanium (p-SiGe) source/drain contacts with subsequent pulsed nanosecond laser anneal.
