High gate leakage current, as a central problem, has decelerated the downscaling of minimum feature size of the field effect transistors In this paper, a combination of density functional theory and non equilibrium Green’s function formalism has been applied to the atomic scale calculation of the tunnel currents through CeO2, Y2O3, TiO2 and Al2O3 dielectrics in MOSFETs. The tunnel currents for different bias voltages applied to Si/Insulator/Si systems have been obtained along with tunnel conductance v/s bias voltage plots for each system. The results are in agreement to the use of high dielectric constant materials as gate dielectric so as to enable further downscaling of MOSFETs with reduced gate leakage currents thereby enabling ultra large scale integration. When used as dielectric, TiO2 exhibits extremely low tunnel currents followed by Y2O3 while CeO2 and Al2O3 exhibit high tunnel currents through them at certain bias voltages.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to design novel tunnel field effect transistor (TFET) using graphene nanoribbons (GNRs). Design/methodology/approach To design the proposed TFET, the bilayer GNRs (BLGNRs) have been used as the channel material. The BLGNR-TFET is designed in QuantumATK, depending on 2-D Poisson’s equation and non-equilibrium Green’s function (NEGF) formalism. Findings The performance of the proposed BLGNR-TFET is investigated in terms of current and voltage (I-V) characteristics and transconductance. Moreover, the proposed device performance is compared with the monolayer GNR-TFET (MLGNR-TFET). From the simulation results, it is investigated that the BLGNR-TFET shows high current and gain over the MLGNR-TFET. Originality/value This paper presents a new technique to design GNR-based TFET for future low power very large-scale integration (VLSI) devices.

ABSTRACTWe report direct, real-time electrical detection of single virus particles with high selectivity using nanowire field effect transistors. Measurements made with nanowire arrays modified with antibodies for influenza A showed discrete conductance changes characteristic of binding and unbinding in the presence of influenza A but not paramyxovirus or adenovirus. Moreover, simultaneous electrical and optical measurements using fluorescently-labelled influenza A demonstrate conclusively that the conductance changes correspond to binding/unbinding of single viruses at the surface of nanowire devices. In addition, studies of nanowire devices modified with antibodies specific for either influenza or adenovirus show that multiple viruses can be selectively detected in parallel. The possibility of large scale integration of these nanowire devices suggests potential for simultaneous detection of a large number of distinct viral threats at the single virus level.

Plants seem to be rather defenceless, they are unable to do motion, have no nervous system or immune system unlike animals. Besides this, plants do have hormones, though these substances are produced not in glands. In view of their complexity they lagged behind animals, however, plant organisms show large scale integration in their structure and function. In higher plants, such as in animals, the intercellular communication is fulfilled through chemical messengers. These specific compounds in plants are called phytohormones, or in a wide sense, bioregulators. Even a small quantity of these endogenous organic compounds are able to regulate the operation, growth and development of higher plants, and keep the connection between cells, tissues and synergy beween organs. Since they do not have nervous and immume systems, phytohormones play essential role in plants’ life. Orv. Hetil., 2014, 155(26), 1011–1018.
