The results showed that Co ion implantation decreased the granule size of the annealed multilayer film, and increased Hc value and GMR ratio of the multilayer film. After annealing at 360℃, the multilayer film [NiFeCo(10 nm)/Ag(10 nm)]×20 with/without Co ion implantation both exhibited the highest GMR ratio of 12.4%/11% under 79.6 kA/m of applied saturation magnetic field.展开更多

GMR (giant magnetore-sistance) ratios of the multilayer films were measured at different temperatures. The results showed that FeNi3 precipitated at 360℃ and dissolved at 400℃. The films annealed at 360℃ for 1 h exhibited the highest GMR ratio 11% when saturation field was equal to 79.6 kA/m.展开更多

The metal gate electrode with different stress values(0 to—6 GPa) was implemented in the device simulation along with other traditional process-induced-strain(PIS) technologies like e-SiC and nitride capping layer.The MGS demonstrated a great enhancing effect on channel carriers transporting in the device as device pitch scaling down.In addition,the novel structure for a tilted gate electrode was proposed and relationships between the tilt angle and channel stress were investigated.Also with a new method of fully stressed replacement metal gate(FSRMG) and using plane-shape-HfO to substitute U-shape-HfO,the effect of MGS was improved.For greater film stress in the metal gate,the process conditions for physical vapor deposition(PVD) TiN-x- were optimized.The maximum compressive stress of—6.5 GPa TiN_x was achieved with thinner film and greater RF power as well as about 6 sccm N ratio.展开更多
