AbstractRoom temperature current-voltage (I-V) characteristics were studied across the thickness of the Ge nanocrystalline films, prepared by the cluster beam evaporation technique. The films thus prepared are deposited either at room temperature (Ge-RT) or at liquid nitrogen temperature (Ge-LNT). Ge-LNT nanofilm is subjected to oxidation while Ge-RT did not get oxidized. Steps were observed in the I-V characteristics of the thin Ge- LNT samples suggesting the Coulomb Blockade effect.

Room-temperature analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) based on nanoscale silicon (Si) quantum dot (QD)-based single-electron transistors (SETs) can be very attractive for high-speed processors embedded in future generation nanosystems. This paper focuses on the design and modeling of advanced single-electron converters suited for operation at room temperature. In contrast to conventional SETs with metallic QD, the use of sub-10-nm Si QD results in stable operation at room temperature, as the observable Coulomb blockade regime covers effectively the higher temperature range. Si QD-based SETs are also fully compatible with advanced CMOS technology and they can be manufactured using routine nanofabrication steps. At first, we present the principles of operation of Si SETs used for room-temperature operation. Possible flash-type ADC architectures are then investigated and the design considerations of possible Coulomb oscillation regimes are addressed. A modified design procedure is then introduced for [Formula: see text]-bit SET-based ADCs, and validated through simulation of a 3-bit ADC with a sampling frequency of 5 GS/s. The ADC core is comprised from a capacitive signal divider followed by three periodic symmetric functions (PSFs). Simulation results demonstrate the stability of output signals at the room-temperature range.
