Download or read book Silicon Compatible Materials, Processes, and Technologies for Advanced Integrated Circuits and Emerging Applications written by F. Roozeboom and published by The Electrochemical Society. This book was released on 2011-04-25 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This issue of ECS Transactions covers emerging materials, process and technology options for large-area silicon wafers to enhance advanced IC performance or to enable revolutionary device structures with entirely new functionalities. Topics : high-mobility channel materials, (e.g. strained Si/Ge, compound semiconductors and graphene), high-performance gate stacks and low-resistivity junctions and contacts on new, Si-compatible materials; new materials and processes for 3-D (TSV) integration ; synthesis of nano-structures including wires, pores and membranes of Si-compatible materials; novel MEMS/NEMS structures and their integration with the mainstream Si-IC technology.
