Recently, there has been more emphasis on a system-on-a-chip (SOC) to integrate logic, analog functions, volatile and non-volatile memory onto a single chip. In order to overcome limitations of conventional floating gate non-volatile memory devices, we areproposing the non-volatile memory elements… More

This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project proposes the development of novel materials to be used in a ferroelectric FET (Field Effect Transistor) memory cell. The proposed memory cell is non-volatile utilizing a non-destructive readout,single transistor design. As a result it has… More

"The use of high dielectric constant materials in semiconductor integrated circuits is greatly expanded due to their obvious advantage of providing higher capacitance per unit area compared to the more conventional silicon oxide/silicon nitride capacitors.There are at least three general areas where… More
