Plasma-Engineered TiN Cuts Switching Voltage in Ultrathin Ferroelectric Memory Capacitors

Researchers used plasma-engineered, (111)-textured TiN electrodes with nitrogen-rich, oxidation-resistant surfaces to reduce interfacial oxidation and lower the switching voltage of 5 nm Hf0.5Zr0.5O2 ferroelectric capacitors. The devices achieved saturated switching at 0.6 V, doubled remanent polarization to 31.5 µC/cm², showed no hard electrical breakdown through 10^12 bipolar cycles, and yielded sub-ns to low-ns switching when the measured area dependence was extrapolated to DRAM-relevant footprints.

Researchers Link Thicker Aluminum Electrodes to Two-Thirds Lower TLS Density in Josephson Junctions

Researchers developed a high-throughput workflow that combined cryogenic spectroscopy, automated statistical analysis, and scanning transmission electron microscopy to link fabrication conditions and junction microstructure to the strongly coupled two-level system (TLS) density across about 6,000 Al/AlOx/Al Josephson junctions. They found that thicker aluminum electrodes and larger grains were associated with an approximately two-thirds lower detectable TLS density, while the precise microscopic cause remains unresolved.

Porous Silica Boosts On-Chip DNA Synthesis Yield For Data Storage

Researchers developed a sacrificial-template porous silica thin film for electrochemically directed oligonucleotide synthesis that increased the available reaction area while preserving localized electrochemical control. The platform supported parallel synthesis of 121-nucleotide strands and recovery of an encoded 60-byte message, while highlighting remaining challenges in synthesis fidelity, parallelism, and cost.

Terahertz Nanoscopy Reveals How Ultrafast In-Plane Spin-Driven Currents Become Visible

Researchers used spatiotemporal terahertz emission nanoscopy to map the electromagnetic signatures of ultrafast spin-driven charge currents in a fiber-coupled spintronic terahertz emitter with femtosecond temporal resolution and nanoscale spatial sensitivity. The study shows how localized in-plane currents produce detectable out-of-plane electric fields, clarifying how near-field terahertz measurements can probe ultrafast spin-to-charge transport.

Stacked Nanomembranes Combine Electro- and Magneto-Optic Capabilities on Micro-Rings

Most of today's computer chips — also sometimes known as conventional integrated circuits — use electrons to deliver their signals via semiconductor materials and metallic components. In contrast, photonic integrated circuits use faster signal carriers, such as photons or quantized "light particles."
