Course description and aims

Performance of VLSI has been improved by scaling in MOS devices and continuous technology processes have been implemented to overcome the scaling limit. The lecture will overview new structures and materials for performance enhancement based on scaling law, and further discuss future MOS devices with novel principle. In addition, memory as well as image sensors technologies will be discussed.

Student learning outcomes

Understanding of the scaling law for advanced MOS devices with new structures and new materials.

Keywords

MOSFET, 3D channel, high mobility channel, memory, image sensors

Competencies that will be developed

Specialist skills Intercultural skills Communication skills Critical thinking skills Practical and/or problem-solving skills

Class flow

Overview of advanced MOS devices using handouts. A short exam will be conducted at the end of the class. (except for the 1st class)
