Cryogenic III-V and Nb electronics integrated on silicon for large-scale quantum computing platforms.

Quantum computers now encounter the significant challenge of scalability, similar to the issue that classical computing faced previously. Recent results in high-fidelity spin qubits manufactured with a Si CMOS technology, along with demonstrations that cryogenic CMOS-based control/readout electronics can be integrated into the same chip or die, opens up an opportunity to break out the challenges of qubit size, I/O, and integrability. However, the power consumption of cryogenic CMOS-based control/readout electronics cannot support thousands or millions of qubits.

Highly-efficient (>70%) and Wide-spectral (400-1700 nm) sub-micron-thick InGaAs photodiodes for future high-resolution image sensors.

This paper demonstrates the novel approach of sub-micron-thick InGaAs broadband photodetectors (PDs) designed for high-resolution imaging from the visible to short-wavelength infrared (SWIR) spectrum. Conventional approaches encounter challenges such as low resolution and crosstalk issues caused by a thick absorption layer (AL). Therefore, we propose a guided-mode resonance (GMR) structure to enhance the quantum efficiency (QE) of the InGaAs PDs in the SWIR region with only sub-micron-thick AL.

Dielectric-Engineered High-Speed, Low-Power, Highly Reliable Charge Trap Flash-Based Synaptic Device for Neuromorphic Computing beyond Inference.

The coming of the big-data era brought a need for power-efficient computing that cannot be realized in the Von Neumann architecture. Neuromorphic computing which is motivated by the human brain can greatly reduce power consumption through matrix multiplication, and a device that mimics a human synapse plays an important role. However, many synaptic devices suffer from limited linearity and symmetry without using incremental step pulse programming (ISPP).

Oxygen scavenging of HfZrO-based capacitors for improving ferroelectric properties.

HfO-based ferroelectric (FE) materials have emerged as a promising material for non-volatile memory applications because of remanent polarization, scalability of thickness below 10 nm, and compatibility with complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor technology. However, in the metal/FE/insulator/semiconductor, it is difficult to improve switching voltage ( ), endurance, and retention properties due to the interfacial layer (IL), which inevitably grows during the fabrication. Here, we proposed and demonstrated oxygen scavenging to reduce the IL thickness in an HfZrO -based capacitor and the thinner IL was confirmed by cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy.

Heterogeneous and Monolithic 3D Integration of III-V-Based Radio Frequency Devices on Si CMOS Circuits.

Next-generation wireless communication such as sixth-generation (6G) and beyond is expected to require high-frequency, multifunctionality, and power-efficiency systems. A III-V compound semiconductor is a promising technology for high-frequency applications, and a Si complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) is the never-beaten technology for highly integrated digital circuits. To harness the advantages of these two technologies, monolithic integration of III-V and Si electronics is beneficial, so that there have been everlasting efforts to accomplish the monolithic integration.

Bioinspired Photoresponsive Single Transistor Neuron for a Neuromorphic Visual System.

Realizing a neuromorphic-based artificial visual system with low-cost hardware requires a neuromorphic device that can react to light stimuli. This study introduces a photoresponsive neuron device composed of a single transistor, developed by engineering an artificial neuron that responds to light, just like retinal neurons. Neuron firing is activated primarily by electrical stimuli such as current via a well-known single transistor latch phenomenon.

3D Stackable Synaptic Transistor for 3D Integrated Artificial Neural Networks.

Although they have attracted enormous attention in recent years, software-based and two-dimensional hardware-based artificial neural networks (ANNs) may consume a great deal of power. Because there will be numerous data transmissions through a long interconnection for learning, power consumption in the interconnect will be an inevitable problem for low-power computing. Therefore, we suggest and report 3D stackable synaptic transistors for 3D ANNs, which would be the strongest candidate in future computing systems by minimizing power consumption in the interconnection.

Monolithic integration of visible GaAs and near-infrared InGaAs for multicolor photodetectors by using high-throughput epitaxial lift-off toward high-resolution imaging systems.

In this study, multicolor photodetectors (PDs) fabricated by using bulk p-i-n-based visible GaAs and near-infrared InGaAs structures were monolithically integrated through a high-throughput epitaxial lift-off (ELO) process. To perform multicolor detection in integrated structures, GaAs PDs were transferred onto InGaAs PDs by using a YO bonding layer to simultaneously detect visible and near-infrared photons and minimize the optical loss. As a result, it was found that the GaAs top PD and InGaAs bottom PD were vertically aligned without tilting in x-ray diffraction (XRD) measurement.

Strategy toward the fabrication of ultrahigh-resolution micro-LED displays by bonding-interface-engineered vertical stacking and surface passivation.

In this study, we proposed a strategy to fabricate vertically stacked subpixel (VSS) micro-light-emitting diodes (μ-LEDs) for future ultrahigh-resolution microdisplays. At first, to vertically stack the LED with different colors, we successfully adopted a bonding-interface-engineered monolithic integration method using SiO2/SiNx distributed Bragg reflectors (DBRs). It was found that an intermediate DBR structure could be used as the bonding layer and color filter, which could reflect and transmit desired wavelengths through the bonding interface.
