Book excerpt: A comprehensive one-volume reference on current JLFET methods, techniques, and research Advancements in transistor technology have driven the modern smart-device revolution—many cell phones, watches, home appliances, and numerous other devices of everyday usage now surpass the performance of the room-filling supercomputers of the past. Electronic devices are continuing to become more mobile, powerful, and versatile in this era of internet-of-things (IoT) due in large part to the scaling of metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs). Incessant scaling of the conventional MOSFETs to cater to consumer needs without incurring performance degradation requires costly and complex fabrication process owing to the presence of metallurgical junctions. Unlike conventional MOSFETs, junctionless field-effect transistors (JLFETs) contain no metallurgical junctions, so they are simpler to process and less costly to manufacture.JLFETs utilize a gated semiconductor film to control its resistance and the current flowing through it.

Download or read book A Simulation Study of Silicon Nanowire Field Effect Transistors FETs written by and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract Silicon planar MOSFETs are approaching their scaling limits. New device designs are being explored to replace the existing planar technology. Among the possible new device designs are Double Gate (DG) FETs, FinFETs, Tri-Gate FETs and Omega- Gate FETs. The Silicon Nanowire Gate All Around (GAA) FET stands out as one of the most promising FET designs due to its maximum gate effect in controlling the short channel effects. Recent developments such as synthesis of highly ordered nanowires and fabrication of nanowires as small as 1nm in diameter have illustrated the progress possible in silicon nanowire technology In this study we have explored the silicon nanowire FET as a possible candidate to replace the currently planar MOSFETs. In this thesis we investigated the silicon nanowire FET device and compared its performance with that of a double gate (DG) FET. The software used for the study assumed quantum-ballistic transport (NanoWire), which was developed at Purdue University. Initially, we presented a comparison of Nanowire FET with DG FET with for devices with same physical parameters. It was seen that superior subthreshold characteristics are exhibited by a silicon nanowire FET. We also conducted an optimization study for the 25 nm node from the ITRS report. The final device was optimized for both High Performance and Low Operating Power applications. A further study on future technology nodes down to the 14 nm node was performed which revealed short channel effects becomes significant at gate lengths ~ 5 nm even for a silicon nanowire device. Finally, a process variation study was conducted in comparison with a FinFET device. It was concluded that a silicon nanowire FET shows less sensitivity to process variation except it has higher sensitivity in variation with the diameter at less than ~4 nm than for FinFET where significant quantum effects set in. Variation with the gate length was found to be much less sensitive for the silicon nanowire FET because of its superior gate control characteristics.

This book was released on 2018-12-12 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the impacts of important material parameters on the electrical properties of indium arsenide (InAs) nanowires, which offer a promising channel material for low-power electronic devices due to their small bandgap and high electron mobility. Smaller diameter nanowires are needed in order to scale down electronic devices and improve their performance. However, to date the properties of thin InAs nanowires and their sensitivity to various factors were not known. The book presents the first study of ultrathin InAs nanowires with diameters below 10 nm are studied, for the first time, establishing the channel in field-effect transistors (FETs) and the correlation between nanowire diameter and device performance. Moreover, it develops a novel method for directly correlating the atomic-level structure with the properties of individual nanowires and their device performance. Using this method, the electronic properties of InAs nanowires and the performance of the FETs they are used in are found to change with the crystal phases (wurtzite, zinc-blend or a mix phase), the axis direction and the growth method. These findings deepen our understanding of InAs nanowires and provide a potential way to tailor device performance by controlling the relevant parameters of the nanowires and devices.

Download or read book Study of Silicon Nanowire Field Effect Transistor for Analog and Digital Biosensing written by Pengyuan Zang and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The advancement of semiconductor technology has popularized the low power, economical and small form-factor solid state devices, such as those highly integrated and interconnected as the fundamental infrastructure for the internet of things (IoT). Due to its CMOS-compatibility and electrical interface, the biosensor utilizing field effect transistor (FET) as transducer has become the perfect candidate to interface directly with the chemical and biological properties of the physical world. Especially, nanowire (NW) FET biosensor has received great attention as a highly sensitive biosensing platform, benefiting from its increased surface-to-volume ratio. In this work, several challenges and key aspects of existing NW FET biosensor were studied, and solutions were proposed to address these problems. For example, the hydrolytic stability of the surface sensing element was evaluated and improved by a hydrolysis process, which led to a significant increase in the overall biosensor performance. Another challenge is the noise in the electric potential of the sensing solutions. A secondary reference electrode was introduced in the biosensing system, and its potential was used to subtract the noise from the measured sensor output. Compared to a reference FET, this approach greatly reduced the system complexity and requirement, yet still improved the limit of detection (LOD) by 50 – 70%. This work also involved careful investigation into the analyte sensitivity, which can be considerably affected by the charge buffering effect from the surface hydroxyl groups. Analytical studies and numerical simulations were carried out, revealing that both low pH sensitivity and large analyte buffer capacity are required to achieve a reasonable analyte sensitivity. The most significant portion of this work was the experimental demonstration of the digital biosensing concept with single serpentine NW FET biosensor. The majority of existing FET biosensors utilized the device as an analog transducer, which measures the captured analyte density to generate an output, and suffers from various noise factors, especially the nonspecific changes of the sensing solutions than cannot be reduced by averaging. Digital biosensor no longer depends on the amplitude of the sensor output and is therefore better immune from these noise factors. Instead, the individual binding event of single analyte is counted and analyzed statistically to determine the analyte concentration. The single serpentine NW FET is the ideal device design to achieve digital biosensing. It maintains the low noise level with the equivalently long channel, yet achieves a small footprint enough for binding of only a single analyte. The binding of analyte to multiple segments of the NW results in both higher sensitivity and binding avidity. The small footprint also enables high integration density of the individual digital biosensors into an array format, which is a responsive, highly sensitive, and cost-effective future biosensing platform.
