TL;DR: The findings emphasize the importance of nociceptive fibre impairment in NP in Guillain Barré syndrome at both acute and chronic stages and suggest similarities between the mechanisms of NP in GBS and those of small fibre painful sensory polyneuropathies.

Abstract: In this paper, we evaluate the potentiality of high-k materials (Al"2O"3, HfO"2 and HfAlO) for interpoly application in non-volatile memories. A study of the leakage currents of high-k based capacitors allowed to discuss the retention performances at room and high temperatures of high-k interpoly dielectrics. High-k materials are then integrated as control dielectrics in silicon nanocrystal and SONOS (Si/SiO"2/Si"3N"4/SiO"2/Si) memories. The role of the high-k layer on the memory performances is discussed; a particular attention being devoted to the retention characteristics. Analytical models, combined with experimental results obtained on various structures allowed to analyze the mechanisms involved during retention.

TL;DR: In this paper, the impact of additive at the SiO2/high-κ interface has been investigated through ab initio simulations and electrical measurements, and various gate stacks with additive below or the above high-κ dielectric are compared.

TL;DR: It is shown that mobility performance and NBTI reliability are strongly correlated and that they are affected by the diffusion of nitrogen species N at the Si interface and that PBTI is strongly reduced in very thin dielectric films.
