Advanced MRAM consists of dense arrays of millions to billions of nano-pillars patterned from magnetic tunnel junction thin films, each with a diameter of 20-100nm. In common integration schemes, each nanopillar is electrically connected to a bottom and a top electrode with a pillar pitch of <500nm. The advanced magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) thin film itself consists of more than 10 single layers with individual thicknesses down to a few Angstroms in certain cases. Combining the relatively complicated MTJ structure with specialized patterning processes is a challenge for the development of advanced MRAM. The goal of this webinar is to give an overview of the thin film growth and stack design for advanced MTJs along with basic integration process steps.

Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) has become a key technology in both the lab and the fab with many devices and other applications benefiting from the (ultra)thin films that can be prepared with very precise thickness control and with unparalleled conformality and uniformity. Nowadays, a significant number of the ALD processes employed are so-called plasma-assisted or plasma-enhanced ALD processes. In the last decade, this method has faced a real breakthrough in high-volume manufacturing and an extensive set of processes and reactor designs have been demonstrated. Yet the reasons why and when to use plasma-assisted ALD are often not clear as well what kind of plasma configurations to use and which conditions to apply. Also, misconceptions about the implications of using plasmas during ALD exist, for example with respect to plasma damage and limitations of conformality. This webinar will address these aspects starting with the basics of ALD and plasma-based processing and will range up to the applications that can benefit from plasma-assisted ALD.

WINDS is a week long, international, and interactive workshop designed to explore the fundamental properties of nanoscale devices and applications thereof. It provides a forum for researchers in material, device, and characterization science, both experimental and theoretical, to interact. This breadth of expertise reflects the technical challenges in developing nanoscale devices and material systems, since every device is a heterostructure of one form or another and the properties of the interfaces often determine the functionality and properties of the nanoscale system.

"The study of perovskite solar cell performance heterogeneities at the nanoscale"
Dr. Beth Tennyson
Marie Currie Fellow, Cambridge University
Abstract: The functionality of halide perovskite solar cells at the micro- and nanoscales is heterogeneous, and it is critical to determine how the local electrical and chemical properties affect overall photovoltaic (PV) efficiency. In this presentation, we begin by showing a variety of nanoscale microscopy methods applied to perovskite semiconductors to analyze the local performance of the material. These results reveal that the perovskite’s nanoscale voltage response depends on its chemical composition, the perovskite's charge carrier dynamics depend on the incident photon energy (i.e. wavelength), and that altered chemical properties due to the inclusion of potassium additives impacts the electrical response in three dimensions. Further, we measure the photon out-coupling of a perovskite material on an underlying c-Si textured design (for multi-junction solar cell device applications) and discover a spectral and spatial dependence of the geometrical patterning which dominates the perovskite typical grain-to-grain radiative recombination variation. Such heterogeneity suggests that tuning the surface morphology in tandem PVs could lead to a homogenization of the perovskite’s photoluminescence emission.

This one day version of the course will covers plasma-assisted etching phenomena and equipment in a manner that will assist the attendee in understanding and developing plasma etching and RIE processes. The emphasis will be on the fundamental physical and chemical processes that determine the consequences of a reactive gas plasma/surface interaction. The role of energetic ions as encountered in RIE systems and the factors that influence anisotropy of etching will be described. Many kinds of plasma-assisted etching equipment will be discussed, including capacitively coupled, inductively coupled, and wave-generated plasma sources.
In addition there will be discussion on the applied aspects of plasma-assisted etching. Emphasis will be on mechanistic understanding as opposed to specific processing issues, recipes, and problems.

This course provides an understanding of the cause and effect of changes in sputtering parameters on the energetics of the sputtering and deposition processes and their relationship to film properties. The energy and distribution of species ejected from the target are discussed. The effect of the sputtering system on material transport to the substrate and subsequent film deposition is also discussed for films of metals, alloys, and compounds. The parameters of different sputtering systems (diode, triode, magnetron, and ion guns) with DC and RF power supplies are discussed with respect to film properties.

Beta-Gallium Oxide is an emerging ultra-wide band gap semiconductor with a predicted critical breakdown field much higher than the commercial wide band gap semiconductors such as Gallium Nitride and Silicon Carbide. The key attractive feature is the availability of single crystal large area bulk substrates. This webinar will begin with the motivation for pursuing research on ultra-wide band gap semiconductors for applications in power electronics and high frequency electronics. State-of-the-art progress in bulk crystal growth, epitaxy and ion implantation will be reviewed. Strategies to maximize breakdown voltage in lateral Gallium Oxide MOSFETs, vertical diodes and transistors will be discussed. The main theme of the webinar will be to highlight and discuss the interrelationship between material properties, material processing and device performance. The future outlook for Gallium Oxide in achieving its theoretical potential, as well as the key challenges & limitations, will also be discussed.
