The main mission of the CSEWG is to produce the US Evaluated Nuclear Data File (ENDF), which has been adopted as the international standard in 2001 (CSEWG, 2010). The CSEWG community has utilized integral experiment results as a mechanism for validating ENDF/B data files. In 1973, the CSEWG community has compiled 25 fast reactor and 36 thermal reactor benchmark problems, of which examples are given below (Alter et al., 1974). JEZEBEL Bare sphere of plutonium especially suited for testing the plutonium cross sections in the fission source energy range GODIVA Bare sphere of enriched uranium especially suited for testing 235 U and 238 U cross sections in the fission source energy range TRX-1, 2, 3, 4 H 2 O-moderated, fully reflected simple assemblies operated at room temperature with uranium metal (1.3 wt.% 235 U) fuel PNL-1, 2, 3, 4, 5 Five unreflected spheres of plutonium nitrate solution with hydrogen/ 239 Pu atom ratios ranging from 131 to 1204 BAPL-1, 2, 3 H 2 O-moderated, fully reflected simple assemblies operated at room temperature with high-density UO 2 (1.3 wt.% 235 U) fuel

Research paper thumbnail of Diffusion and activation of n-type dopants in germanium

The secondary ion mass spectrometry profiles of chemical concentrations indicated the existence of a sufficiently high number of impurities with increasing implanted doses. However, spreading resistance probe profiles of electrical concentrations showed electrical concentration saturation in spite of increasing doses and indicated poor activation of As relative to P in Ge. The relationships between the chemical and electrical concentrations of P in Ge and Si were calculated, taking into account the effect of incomplete ionization. The results indicated that the activation of P was almost the same in Ge and Si. The activation ratios obtained experimentally were similar to the calculated values, implying insufficient degeneration of Ge. The profiles of P in Ge substrates with and without damage generated by Ge ion implantation...

The films were deposited by reactive sputtering of Hf and Si in an O, N, and Ar mixture ambient. The bonding states, band-gap energies, atomic compositions, and crystallinities were confirmed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), reflection electron energy loss spectroscopy (REELS), Rutherford backscattering spectrometry (RBS), and X-ray diffractometry (XRD), respectively. The optical (high-frequency) dielectric constants were optically determined by the square of the reflective indexes measured by ellipsometry. The static dielectric constants were electrically estimated by the capacitance of Au/HfSiON/Si(100) structures. It was observed that low N incorporation in the films led to the formation of only Si-N bonds without Hf-N bonds. An abrupt decrease in band-gap energies was observed at atomic compositions corresponding to the boundary...

Research paper thumbnail of Effect of Hf-N bond on properties of thermally stable amorphous HfSiON and applicability of this material to sub-50nm technology node LSIs

The electric and structural properties of hafnium silicon oxynitride (HfSiON) with high Hf/(Hf+Si... more The electric and structural properties of hafnium silicon oxynitride (HfSiON) with high Hf/(Hf+Si) (35∼100%) were investigated, focusing on the role of Hf-N bonds inside the material. The results show that the existence of Hf-N bonds in the films result in a high dielectric constant and high thermal stability. Using ultra-thin HfSiON with high Hf and high N concentrations, thermally stable amorphous high-k stacks with EOT of 0.6 nm and with 10-5 times Jg reduction, relative to that in SiO2 was obtained.

In particular, the Qbd distributions are drastically degraded after high temperature annealing in Hf-silicate dielectrics. We propose a novel dielectric breakdown model of high-k gate dielectrics, which may be responsible for the poor Qbd distributions.

This leads to high muh of 210 cm 2/Vsec at 0.1M V/cm, which is two times higher than that of ZrO2/Ge and even 23% higher than the value for Si universal curve. EOT scalability of Zr-silicate/Ge gate stacks is comparable to that of ZrO2/Ge one

It is revealed that most parameters are affected when HfSiON with high Hf concentration is used, and thus, careful re-engineering is indispensable. We demonstrate HfSiON-CMOSFET for hp 65 nm LSTP application which meets the specification of ITRS roadmap by an adequate re-engineering

Research paper thumbnail of First demonstration and performance improvement of ferroelectric HfO2-based resistive switch with low operation current and intrinsic diode property

The device has characteristics of nA-range operation current, self-compliance, and intrinsic diode properties, as well as good device to device uniformity. Simultaneous achievement of these characteristics, which was not reported in the other two-terminal emerging memories, is significant advantage for future non-volatile applications. Accurate understanding of switching mechanism based on first-principles calculations and material characterization enabled us to establish a solid guideline for performance improvement: scaling of both ferroelectric layer and interfacial layer thickness. As a consequence, reduction of operation voltage while maintaining sufficient ON/OFF ratio was successfully demonstrated.

As a consequence, we clarify that an increase of stress induced leakage current (SILC) after cycling is the main cause of the failure and demonstrate the cycling endurance enhancement by suppressing the SILC with optimizing the measurement sequence. Based on these results, we show a potential to achieve 106 cycles.
