Title:

Power-Efficient Transistor for I/O Applications: Contact Materials & Interfaces

Agreement Number:

953243

Agreement Value:

$25,000.00

Agreement Date:

Jul 1, 2020 - Jun 30, 2021

Description:

Power-efficiency is a key performance metric for the next-generation of consumer electronics, and is achieved by reducing the power consumption of device components such as input/out (I/O) transistors used in backend processes. Wide-band oxide semiconductors are prime candidates to replace silicon-based I/O transistors, due to its high field tolerance. Their efficiency performance can be further improved by interfacing the transistor's source and drain regions with a contact electrode materials that minimizes contact resistance. The goal of this project is to develop manufacturing recipes for a promising set of select contact materials to achieve ideal minimizes power dissipation and thereby improving power performance.
