The single event effect in ferroelectric-gate field-effect transistor （FeFET） under heavy ion irradiation is investigated in this paper. The simulation results show that the transient responses are much lower in a FeFET than in a conventional metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor （MOSFET） when the ion strikes the channel. The main reason is that the polarization-induced charges （the polarization direction here is away from the silicon surface） bring a negative surface po- tential which will affect the distribution of carders and charge collection in different electrodes significantly. The simulation results are expected to explain that the FeFET has a relatively good immunity to single event effect.
The electronic structures and magnetic properties of（Mn, N）-codoped Zn O are investigated by using the firstprinciples calculations. In the ferromagnetic state, as N substitutes for the intermediate O atom of the nearest neighboring Mn ions, about 0.5 electron per Mn^2＋ion transfers to the N^2-ion, which leads to the high-state Mn ions（close to ＋2.5）and trivalent N3-ions. In an antiferromagnetic state, one electron transfers to the N2-ion from the downspin Mn2＋ion,while no electron transfer occurs for the upspin Mn^2＋ion. The（Mn, N）-codoped Zn O system shows ferromagnetism,which is attributed to the hybridization between Mn 3d and N 2p orbitals.
Bi0.9La0.1Fe0.95Mn0.05O3 （BLFMO） ferroelectric thin films were fabricated on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si/ substrates by the sol-gel process at different pyrolysis temperatures. The mass loss of BLFMO powder was investigated by thermo gravimetry analyser （TGA）, and the polycrystalline structure and smooth surface of BLFMO thin films were characterized by X-ray diffraction （XRD） and atomic force microscopy （AFM）, respectively. The remnant polarization （Pr） of the BLFMO films pyrolyzed at 420 ℃ is 21.2 μC/cm2 at the coercive field （Ec） of 99 kV/cm and the leakage current density is 7.1×10-3 A/cm2, which indicates that the BLFMO thin films display relatively good ferroelectric property at this temperature.
The alternation from bipolar to unipolar resistive switching is observed in perovskite La0.01Sr0.99TiO3 thin films. These two switching modes can be activated separately depending on the compliance current （Icomp） during the electroforming process： with a higher Icomp （5 mA） the unipolar resistance switching behavior is measured, while the bipolar resistance switching behavior is observed with a lower Icomp （1 mA）. On the basis of I–V characteristics, the switching mechanisms for the URS and BRS modes are considered as being a change in the Schottky-like barrier height and/or width at the Pt/La-SrTiO3 interface and the formation and disruption of conduction filaments, respectively.
