Tokyo Tech scientists developed a method using palladium to inject hydrogen into oxide-metal electrode contacts of AOS (amorphous oxide semiconductors) storage devices, reducing contact resistance and enhancing performance. This approach enables the use of amorphous oxide semiconductors in next-generation storage and display technologies by addressing key contact issues. The novel technique significantly lowers power consumption and improves charge carrier mobility, crucial for high-density DRAM and other storage devices. It offers a practical solution for complex nanoscale architectures where traditional methods fall short.
