  • High-Temperature Operational Piezoresistive Pressure Sensor on Standard CMOS Process

    Sugiura T., Miura H., Nakano N.

    IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems II: Express Briefs (IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems II: Express Briefs)  70 ( 2 ) 726 - 730 2023.02

    ISSN  15497747

     View Summary

    Piezoresistive pressure sensor designed in the standard CMOS process is proposed. The device features the electrical separation by the pn-junction provided by the standard CMOS process, which it does not need any MEMS processes or the post-processes. The proposed device is composed of vertical multi-pn junctions, and two methods of 3-layer and 4-layer are considered with their advantages and drawbacks. It features high-temperature robustness with silicon material, and integrability to silicon devices. It is designed without any additional processes and therefore enables to compatible to the CMOS devices with low-cost and suitable for mass production that are favorable for IoT (Internet of Things) applications.

  • On-Chip Carrier-Selective Contact Photovoltaic Cell

    Sugiura T., Miura H., Nakano N.

    IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices (IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices)   2023

    ISSN  00189383

     View Summary

    This article proposes an on-chip photovoltaic cell equipped with a tunnel oxide passivated contact (TOPCon) exhibiting selective carrier contact. The proposed structure utilizes the gate region as the TOPCon structure and performs best when the gate oxide is high-<inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\kappa$</tex-math> </inline-formula> hafnium oxide (HfO<inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$_\text{2}$</tex-math> </inline-formula>). Oxide thicknesses lower than 1.5 nm enable the utilization of the device as a solar cell; therefore, it can be fabricated using high-end oriented CMOS processes. Furthermore, TOPCon technology at the bulk contact is observed to be more important than that at the emitter contact; however, a combination of the two yields an improved <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\textit{V}_{\text{OC}}$</tex-math> </inline-formula> value. On applying the full TOPCon technology, <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\textit{V}_{\text{OC}}$</tex-math> </inline-formula> is improved by approximately 20 mV from 601 to 619 mV, and <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\eta$</tex-math> </inline-formula> is improved by approximately 0.5<inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\%$</tex-math> </inline-formula> from 15.20<inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\%$</tex-math> </inline-formula> to 15.73<inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\%$</tex-math> </inline-formula> compared to the conventional surface diffusion (SD)-based structure.

  • Germanium-and Silicon-Nanotransistor Designs by Electrical and Thermal Self-Consistent Analysis

    Sugiura T., Yamakiri S., Nakano N.

    IEEE Transactions on Computer-Aided Design of Integrated Circuits and Systems (IEEE Transactions on Computer-Aided Design of Integrated Circuits and Systems)   2023

    ISSN  02780070

     View Summary

    This study evaluated nanometer gate length germanium (Ge) transistors, including the electrical and thermal components, and compared them with silicon (Si) transistors. Nanometer-scale Ge and Si junction-less field-effect transistors (JLFETs) were treated for both NFET and PFET devices under a transient response. Consequently, the electrical and thermal self-consistent simulations revealed that hole carrier transport is more challenging at the channel region for PFET, inhibiting process shrinking. Moreover, the results show that self-heating can reach a dangerous stature, particularly when the channel region is thick. This is because the operation of the nanometer-scale Ge and Si JLFETs depends on the quantum effect, which increases the band-gap energy. The suitable channel design for Ge and Si transistors is almost similar; a heavier doping concentration is favorable for Si transistors. The study concludes that optimizing the channel region to fit the band-gap energy is the most crucial aspect for designing transistors.

  • Back-Contact Interdigitated Carrier-Selective Cell: Numerical Demonstration of 30 mW/cm<sup>2</sup>; Output Power Density in Standard Albedo Condition

    Sugiura T., Nakano N.

    IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices (IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices)  69 ( 12 ) 7190 - 7193 2022.12

    ISSN  00189383

     View Summary

    This brief proposes a new crystalline-Si (c-Si) solar cell structure, based on bifacial back-contact and carrier-selective contact solar cell technology. The proposed device, known as back-contact interdigitated carrier selective (BICS), offers the advantage of using existing c-Si solar cell structures. The bifaciality provided by the passivated emitter and rear cell (PERC), back-contact provided by interdigitated back contact (IBC), and carrier-selective contact provided by tunnel oxide passivated contact (TOPCon) are featured simultaneously. The local and full TOPCons are, respectively, applied to the emitter and back surface field (BSF) region. The proposed device has an output density of over 30 mW/cm2 under standard conditions-room temperature with a 20% albedo condition. A comparison with our previously proposed bifacial solar cell, heterojunction back contact (HBC)+, reveals the advantages of the proposed device. The proposed device is operable under a relatively low temperature under 45 °C, whereas HBC+ is suitable for higher temperatures. Therefore, the choice between the proposed device and HBC+ should be based on the climate of the installation location.

  • Hard- and soft-breakdown modeling in &lt;001&gt; oriented β -Ga<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf>Schottky barrier diode

    Sugiura T., Nakano N.

    Journal of Applied Physics (Journal of Applied Physics)  132 ( 17 )  2022.11

    ISSN  00218979

     View Summary

    Gallium oxide (Ga 2 O 3) attracts considerable technological interest because of its high Baliga's figure-of-merit and high breakdown voltages. As the models for the breakdown behavior of n-doped Ga 2 O 3 that consider soft (barrier lowering) and hard (avalanche effect) breakdowns are still lacking, in this study, we model the breakdown operations in <001> oriented Schottky barrier diodes considering both the soft- and hard-breakdown phenomena. The completion of the impact ionization model of β- Ga 2 O 3 in <001> orientation is proposed by determining the hole impact ionization coefficient, thereby reproducing hard breakdown operations. Moreover, a barrier lowering model is determined for reproducing soft breakdown operations. The outcomes of the proposed modeling investigation are expected to be crucial for predicting the reverse-biased operations of β- Ga 2 O 3 in <001> orientation to facilitate further technological development and applications of Ga 2 O 3.
