In this paper we report the fabrication and detailed electrical characterization of a ferroelectric transistor (Fe-FET) aiming at the extraction of its physical threshold voltage. The investigated transistors are fabricated on doped bulk silicon with a gate stack including 10 nm silicon dioxide, 40 nm P(VDF-TrFE) and Au. Based on capacitive measurements, a capacitive divider circuit and a long-channel MOSFET model, we subsequently extract the surface potential psi(S) dependence on the gate voltage and the p

This work reports the first complete experimental demonstration and investigation of subthreshold swing, SS, smaller than 60 mV/decade, at room temperature, due to internal voltage amplification in FETs with a Metal-Ferroelectric-Metal-Oxide gate stack. The investigated p-type MOS transistor is a dedicated test structure to explore the negative capacitance effect by probing the internal voltage between the P(VDF-TrFE) and SiO2 dielectric layers of the gate stack. We find that the region of internal surface

In this paper, we report a detailed study of the negative capacitance field effect transistor (NCFET). We present the condition for the stabilization of the negative capacitance to achieve the voltage amplification across the active layer. The theory is based on Landauʼs theory of ferroelectrics combined with the surface potential model in all regimes of operation. We demonstrate the validity of the presented theory on experimental NCFETs using a gate stack made of P(VDF-TrFE) and SiO2. The proposed analyti

A novel MEMS technological platform for RF passive components, namely RF MEMS switches, tuneable capacitors and high-Q suspended inductors, is reported. The proposed process employs a metal (Al, AlSi or Cu) as active movable layer and amorphous silicon or polycrystalline silicon as sacrificial layers, providing multi-air-gaps. Various types of substrates like bulk silicon and SOI can be used. Full-dry releasing of suspended beams and membranes is performed with SF_6 or XeF_2, with unrivalled yield/reproduci
