In this study, a capacitorless one-transistor dynamic random-access memory (1T-DRAM) cell based on a polycrystalline silicon dual-gate metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor with a fin-shaped structure was optimized and analyzed using technology computer-aided design simulation. The proposed 1T-DRAM demonstrated improved memory characteristics owing to the adoption of the fin-shaped structure on the side of gate 2. This was because the holes generated during the program operation were collected on the side of gate 2, allowing an expansion of the area where the holes were stored using the fin-shaped structure.

In this study, a high-performance vertical gallium nitride (GaN) power transistor is designed by using two-dimensional technology computer-aided design simulator. The vertical GaN transistor is used to analyze the DC/DC boost converter. The systems requiring high voltages of 1000 V or more, such as electric vehicles, need wide devices to achieve a high breakdown voltage when using conventional power devices.

Utilizing bandgap engineering to make a quantum well in the core-shell structure, the storage pocket is formed by the difference in bandgap energy between SiGe and Si. By applying different voltage conditions at the inner gate and outer gate, excess holes are generated in the storage region by the band-to-band tunneling (BTBT) mechanism.
