Patent number: 11908690Abstract: In certain examples, methods and semiconductor structures are directed to multilayered structures including TMD (transition metal dichalcogenide material or TMD-like material and a polymer-based layer which is characterized as exhibiting flexibility. A first layer including a TMD-based material (e.g., an atomic-thick layer including TMD) or TMD-like material is provided or grown on a surface which in certain instances may be a rigid platform or substrate. A plurality of electrodes are provided on or as part of the first layer, and another layer or film including polymer is applied to cover the first layer and the electrodes. The other layer is integrated with the TMD material or TMD-like material and the first layer, and the other layer provides a flexible substrate such as when released from the exemplary rigid platform or substrate.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2020Date of Patent: February 20, 2024Assignee: The Board of Trustees of the Leland Stanford Junior UniversityInventors: Alwin S. Daus, Sam Vaziri, Eric Pop

Publication number: 20220115590Abstract: A low-power phase-change memory (PCM) technology with interfacial thermoelectric heating (TEH) enhancement is provided. Embodiments described herein leverage a substantial, positive thermoelectric coefficient in PCM materials to generate additional heating or cooling at an interface with another material, enabling memory switching with a large reduction in current and power. Interfacial thermoelectric engineering is applied to a PCM cell using a special class of thermoelectric materials with large negative Seebeck coefficients (e.g., bismuth telluride (Bi2Te3), lead telluride (PbTe), lanthanum telluride (La3Te4), indium selenide (InSe), silicon-germanium (Si0.8Ge0.2)) to induce efficient heating at significantly lowered power and current.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 11, 2021Publication date: April 14, 2022Inventors: Asir Intisar Khan, Eric Pop, Raisul Islam, H.-S. Philip Wong, Kenneth E. Goodson, Mehdi Asheghi, Heungdong Kwon

Publication number: 20210249331Abstract: Provided are high quality metal-nitride, such as aluminum nitride (AlN), films for heat dissipation and heat spreading applications, methods of preparing the same, and deposition of high thermal conductivity heat spreading layers for use in RF devices such as power amplifiers, high electron mobility transistors, etc. Aspects of the inventive concept can be used to enable heterogeneously integrated compound semiconductor on silicon devices or can be used in in non-RF applications as the power densities of these highly scaled microelectronic devices continues to increase.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 8, 2021Publication date: August 12, 2021Inventors: Scott Ueda, Aaron McLeod, Andrew Kummel, Mike Burkland, Eduardo M. Chumbes, Thomas E. Kazior, Eric Pop, Michelle Chen, Chris Perez, Mark Rodwell

Patent number: 9583702Abstract: Provided is a phase change memory device including a graphene layer inserted between a lower electrode into which heat flows and a phase change material layer, to prevent the heat from being diffused to an outside so as to efficiently transfer the heat to the phase change material layer, and a method of fabricating the phase change memory device. The phase change memory device includes a lower electrode; an insulating layer formed to enclose the lower electrode; a graphene layer formed on the lower electrode; a phase change material layer formed on the graphene layer and the insulating layer; and an upper electrode formed on the phase change material layer. Since a phase of the phase change material layer is changed at a small amount of driving current, the phase change memory device is fabricated to have a high driving speed and a high integration.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2016Date of Patent: February 28, 2017Assignees: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., The Board of Trustees of the Leland Stanford Junior UniversityInventors: Yongsung Kim, Chiyui Ahn, Aditya Sood, Eric Pop, H.-S.
