	Christof Wöll, Director, KIT close MOFs as Low-k Candidates for Future Technology Nodes Christof Wöll Director KIT Abstract Materials with good mechanical properties and low k dielectric constants are of paramount interest for the next generation of electronics, since for the needed increases in clock frequency low-k materials are a crucial ingredient. It is very difficult to achieve dielectric constants below k = 2 with conventional polymers. Here, we focus on a novel, highly tunable class of materials, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). MOFs are highly porous hybrid materials consisting of organic linkers connected to inorganic metal (or metal/oxo) clusters. Due to their crystalline, highly ordered, and porous structures, MOFs exhibits a number of highly interesting properties. The Young's modulus of a particular MOF, HKUST-1, amounts to 9.3 GPa[1] Because of the very low mass density of MOFs, the static dielectric constants k is very small and can drop to values far below 2.[3] We have introduced a novel method to grow SURMOFs, thin films of this exciting new class of porous solids, by liquid phase epitaxy (LPE) [2]. The solid state elastic and mechanical properties of SURMOFs, as well as their optical, electrical and electrochemical [4] properties have been investigated.[5] In addition, they are suited for photolithography [6].

14:40	Prospects of Emerging 2D Transition Metal Films for Applications in Electronics
	Georg Duesberg, PI, CRANN, Trinity College Dublin close Prospects of Emerging 2D Transition Metal Films for Applications in Electronics Georg Duesberg PI CRANN, Trinity College Dublin Abstract The reduction of dimensionality has revealed exciting properties in 2D materials such as graphene and Transition Metal Dichalcogenides (TMDs). The potential for their applications in electronics, has been demonstrated, however, most of these studies have been carried out on individual devices, often relying on time consuming low yield techniques such as mechanical exfoliation and electron-beam (e-beam) lithography. Furthermore, the stability of TMDs and their integration with existing semiconductor technology is a major challenge for their successful incorporation into useful applications. Reliable large scale synthesis, functionalisation and passivation of this new class of materials will be discussed in this presentation. Firstly, the synthesis of large scale TMD films via two methods compatible with semiconductor production lines will be presented. Thermally Assisted Conversion (TAC) of various metal layers to their sulfides and selenides is shown. The samples are produced on silicon chips and were subjected to structural and spectroscopic characterization. TAC allows good control over their thickness and morphology. Secondly, we report on the direct CVD growth on SiO2 of TMD monolayers in a micro-reactor set-up. These highly crystalline TMDs were tested in simple transistor configurations. The deposition of subsequent layers on top of the TMD for gating and passivation by Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) has also been achieved. This process involves chemical functionalisation of TMD layers on silicon; a crucial step for device integration. With this large scale processes at hand, it is possible to structure and electrically address the TMD films in a manner similar to SiO technology yielding simple devices such as transistors, diodes and sensors. This integration of 2D materials into hybrid devices with conventional semiconductors processes allows us to retrieve electrical performance data in such processed TMD channels.

15:05	Monolayer controlled deposition of 2D transition metal dichalcogenides on large area substrates
	Annelies Delabie, Professor, Imec close Monolayer controlled deposition of 2D transition metal dichalcogenides on large area substrates Annelies Delabie Professor Imec Abstract Two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides (MX2, with M a transition metal of group 4 - 7 and X a chalcogen) have versatile properties that complement those of graphene. Depending on the metal and chalcogen, these 2D materials exhibit insulating, metallic, semi-metallic or semiconducting properties. The anisotropy in their electrical, chemical, mechanical and thermal properties is of interest for applications ranging from nano-electronics to sensing and photonics. MoS2, MoSe2, WS2, and WSe2 are 2D semiconductors that attract significant interest for ultra-scaled nano-electronic devices because of their large band gap values, low dielectric constants, lack of dangling bonds and structural stability. In contrast to graphene, the presence of a band gap in MX2 allows fabrication of transistors with high Ion/Ioff ratio. Further exploiting the potential of MX2 and enabling integration in nano-electronic devices requires the development of deposition techniques for MX2 that provide monolayer growth control on large area substrates. Next to Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD), Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) is a promising technique because its deposition principle ensures growth control at the atomic level on large area substrates. We will discuss the CVD and ALD of WS2 from the WF6 and H2S precursors. The deposition of WS2 on Al2O3 substrates is enabled at low temperature (300-450ºC) by either Si layers or H2 plasma as reducing agents. The 2D structure of thin WS2 layers (2-3 monolayers) is obtained at low deposition temperature without using a template or anneal, as indicated by Raman Spectroscopy and Transmission Electron Microscopy. Nevertheless, the layers are polycrystalline with a rather small grain size. The orientation of the WS2 basal planes is parallel to the substrate at 300ºC and depends on temperature. We will discuss the need for a better understanding of the nucleation and growth mechanisms, as this will enable improvement of the crystallinity.

15:30	Selective Deposition as Enabler for Shrinking Device Dimensions
	Suvi Haukka, Executive Scientist, ASM Microchemistry Ltd. close Selective Deposition as Enabler for Shrinking Device Dimensions Suvi Haukka Executive Scientist ASM Microchemistry Ltd. Abstract The shrinking device dimensions in semiconductor manufacturing call for new innovative processing approaches. One of these considered is selective deposition which has gained increasing interest among semiconductor manufacturers today. Selective deposition would be highly beneficial in various ways, for instance, it would allow a decrease in lithography and etch steps reducing the cost of processing and enable enhanced scaling in narrow structures making bottom up fill possible. Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and especially atomic layer deposition (ALD) as very surface sensitive techniques are considered enabling techniques. In most of the selective deposition schemes of today a passivation is used for the surface on which no deposition is desired. The most known method is to use SAM´s (self-assembled monolayers) which are silicon compounds with long carbon chains. Depending on the type of SAM one can passivate either the metal oxide, metal or silicon surface. Thus, the use of SAM allows for instance a metal layer be selectively deposited on metal surface over dielectric surface. Furthermore, it has been shown that without SAM a dielectric layer can selectively be deposited on hydrophilic polymer over a more hydrophobic polymer. In this paper, the various selective deposition approaches and passivation means are reviewed. In addition, results from the selective deposition of metal on metal over dielectric surface in a Cu capping application and from selective strengthening of DSA (direct self-assembly) layers are presented. Biography Dr. Suvi Haukka is currently employed as an Executive Scientist for ALD applications for ASM International, and she is based in Helsinki, Finland where the R&D site of ASM, ASM Microchemistry is located. For over twenty years she has worked in various capacities, including Research Scientist, Catalyst Technology Manager, Process Development Manager and R&D Manager, which all have been related to atomic layer deposition (ALD). In particular, her work has focused on ALD and applications of it for semiconductor equipment, processes, and devices as well as development of ALD apparatus. Over the course of her career, she has been an author on over 70 scientific papers, primarily concerning ALD processes, applications and apparatus. In addition, she is an inventor of more than 100 ALD patents and patent applications in the field of semiconductor fabrication. In 1994 Suvi Haukka earned a Doctor of Philosophy degree from the Laboratory of Analytical Chemistry, University of Helsinki, Finland.
15:55	Next Generation Ferroelectric Field Effect Transistors enabled by Ferroelectric Hafnium Oxide
	Thomas Mikolajick, scientific director, NaMLab Gmbh / TU Dresden close Next Generation Ferroelectric Field Effect Transistors enabled by Ferroelectric Hafnium Oxide Thomas Mikolajick scientific director NaMLab Gmbh / TU Dresden Abstract Ferroelectrics are very interesting for nonvolatile memories. The progress is limited by the low compatibility of ferroelectrics like PZT with CMOS processing. Therefore 1T/1C ferroelectric memories are not scaling below 130 nm and 1T ferroelectric FETs are still struggling with low retention and very thick memory stacks. Hafnium oxide, a standard material in sub 45nm CMOS, can show ferroelectric hysteresis with promising characteristics. By adding a few percent of silicon and annealing the films in a mechanically confined manner Boescke et al. demonstrated ferroelectric hysteresis in hafnium oxide for the first time. Recently a large number of dopants including Y, Al, Gd and Sr have been used to induce ferroelectricity in HfO2. In the first part of this talk the different doping elements that have been shown to enable ferroelectricity will be compared and general trends will be established. The second part will focus on the memory relevant characterization data. Finally the application in 1T FETs will be demonstrated and the potential to solve principal issues of ferroelectric FETs will be illustrated. Biography Thomas Mikolajick received the Diploma (Dipl.-Ing.) in electrical engineering from the University Erlangen-Nuremberg in 1990 and his phD in electrical engineering in 1996.

16:20	Spin-based nanoelectronic devices for mobile Informaion-Communication Technology
	Alina Deac, Group Leader, Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden - Rossendorf close Spin-based nanoelectronic devices for mobile Informaion-Communication Technology Alina Deac Group Leader Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden - Rossendorf Abstract Perhaps the best known (or most successfully implemented) spin-based device is the hard-disk read-head. Indeed, the discovery of giant magnetoresistance enabled a paradigm shift in the miniaturization of magnetic storage technology, which was disruptive enough to earn its discoverers a Nobel price [1]. More recently, it has been demonstrated that non-volatile, ultra-fast spin-based memory bit devices can be designed so that they can scale down to more than one fifth of all other available technologies, including SRAM [2]. Other spin-based nanoelectronics devices currently under consideration - which will be discussed here - range from tuneable radio-frequency oscillators to magnetic field sensors, negative resistors, amplifiers, write heads and random number generators.
