From the time in 1965 when 'Moore's Law' -doubling of circuit density every 18 months approximately was predicted, scaling of transistors has progressed in accordance with the law. This was primarily enabled by technological advances in manufacturing equipment that allowed the 'printing' and manufacturing of smaller circuits. Occasionally, in-between, a new material was introduced in the manufacture of the circuits. However, from the 180 nm technology, new materials have been needed in every generation. As the circuit features get smaller, the necessity of new materials required becomes more apparent. The importance of these materials in the manufacturing of semiconductor devices will be illustrated in this paper along with some results.

In: "Evolutionary Progress in Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics", Wang, Lawrence K. and Tsao, Hung-ping (Editors). Volume 7, Number 8A, 7(8A), August 8, 2025, 40 pages. Lenox Institute Press, Auburndale, Massachusetts, USA. Lenox.Institute@gmail.com; lut@rpi.edu. ABSTRACT: This electronic book is a memoir recalling how I entered semiconductor research and how I got involved in the US semiconductor research consortium called “Semiconductor Research Corporation (SRC)”. In the late 1990’s I became the director of “Center for Advanced Interconnect Science and Technology” funded by SRC. The Center involved 15 universities, 30 faculty, and 40 graduate students doing advanced interconnect research. SRC member companies include Intel, IBM, AMD, TI, UMC (Taiwan), and Chartered Semiconductor Manufacturing (Singapore). The Center produced over 100 PhD students who later played leadership roles in semiconductor industry. In 2004, Novellus Systems, a major semiconductor manufacturing equipment company, donated a Cu deposition system to Fudan University in anticipation of future business in China. The company organized a workshop in Shanghai, China. I highlighted some of the activities. I also described some international students graduated from my group, in particular, the interesting and unusual educational and career paths of some Chinese graduate students, who eventually served semiconductor industry. Some future possibilities beyond the current Si technology are also briefly discussed. KEY WORDS: vacuum tubes, semiconductor transistors, integrated circuits, interconnect, Semiconductor Research Corporation, Novellus Systems, beyond Si technology, quantum physics, quantum computing. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT: I thank Professor Jian Shi for valuable discussions on future computing strategies.

Analytical Surface Potential Modelling-Based Small Signal Analysis and RF Performance Characterization of DMG SOI MOSFET for Better RFIC Application
TIYA DEY MALAKAR

IETE Technical Review, 2017

A two-dimensional Poisson's equation solution-based analytical model including quantum mechanical effects (QMEs) of dual material gate silicon on insulator (DMG SOI) MOSFET structure has been presented. A small signal equivalent circuit of DMG SOI MOS transistor has been developed to analyze the frequency response which reveals its better RF IC applicability in highfrequency regions. Analytical model-based simulation results are also compared with the results of 2D device simulator to verify that the performance of the proposed DMG SOI MOS device is improved in terms of current driving capability, gain frequency characteristics and frequency response characteristics using Smitchchart, etc.

Charge transfer between carbon nanotubes on surfaces
Bernardo Ruegger Almeida Neves

Nanoscale, 2015

The charge transfer between neighboring single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) on a silicon oxide surface was investigated as a function of both the SWNT nature (metallic or semiconducting) and the anode/cathode distance using scanning probe techniques. Two main mechanisms were observed: a direct electron tunneling described by the typical Fowler-Nordheim model, and indirect electron transfer (hopping) mediated by functional groups on the supporting surface. Both mechanisms depend on the SWNT nature and on the anode/cathode separation: direct electron tunneling dominates the charge transfer process for metallic SWNTs, especially for large distances, while both mechanisms compete with each other for semiconducting SWNTs, prevailing one over the other depending on the anode/cathode separation. These mechanisms may significantly influence the design and operation of SWNT-based electronic devices. Experimental Isolated SWNTs were grown atop the Si oxide substrate via chemical vapor deposition (CVD) synthesis: 16 Si/SiO 2 (Si (100)
