ABSTRACTRecently, we have experimentally demonstrated a very simply structured unipolar accumulation-type metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (AMOSFET) using grow-in-place silicon nanowires. The AMOSFET consists of a single doping type nanowire, metal source and drain contacts which are separated by a partially gated region. Despite its simple configuration, it is capable of high performance thereby offering the potential of a low manufacturing-cost transistor. Since the quality of the metal/semiconductor ohmic source and drain contacts impacts AMOSFET performance, we repot here on initial exploration of contact variations and of the impact of thermal process history. With process optimization, current on/off ratios of 106 and subthreshold swings of 70 mV/dec have been achieved with these simple devices

<span>This paper studies the impact of fin width of channel on temperature and electrical characteristics of fin field-effect transistor (FinFET). The simulation tool multi-gate field effect transistor (MuGFET) has been used to examine the FinFET characteristics. Transfer characteristics with various temperatures and channel fin width (W<sub>F</sub>=5, 10, 20, 40, and 80 nm) are at first simulated in this study. The results show that the increasing of environmental temperature tends to increase threshold voltage, while the subthreshold swing (SS) and drain-induced barrier lowering (DIBL) rise with rising working temperature. Also, the threshold voltage decreases with increasing channel fin width of transistor, while the SS and DIBL increase with increasing channel fin width of transistor, at minimum channel fin width, the SS is very near to the best and ideal then its value grows and going far from the ideal value with increasing channel fin width. So, according to these conditions, the minimum value as possible of fin width is the preferable one for FinFET with better electrical characteristics.</span>

The interest in graphene-based electronics is due to graphene’s great carrier mobility, atomic thickness, resistance to radiation, and tolerance to extreme temperatures. These characteristics enable the development of extremely miniaturized high-performing electronic devices for next-generation radiofrequency (RF) communication systems. The main building block of graphene-based electronics is the graphene-field effect transistor (GFET). An important issue hindering the diffusion of GFET-based circuits on a commercial level is the repeatability of the fabrication process, which affects the uncertainty of both the device geometry and the graphene quality. Concerning the GFET geometrical parameters, it is well known that the channel length is the main factor that determines the high-frequency limitations of a field-effect transistor, and is therefore the parameter that should be better controlled during the fabrication. Nevertheless, other parameters are affected by a fabrication-related tolerance; to understand to which extent an increase of the accuracy of the GFET layout patterning process steps can improve the performance uniformity, their impact on the GFET performance variability should be considered and compared to that of the channel length. In this work, we assess the impact of the fabrication-related tolerances of GFET-base amplifier geometrical parameters on the RF performance, in terms of the amplifier transit frequency and maximum oscillation frequency, by using a design-of-experiments approach.

Ferroelectric materials have received significant attention as next-generation materials for gates in transistors because of their negative differential capacitance. Emerging transistors, such as the negative capacitance field effect transistor (NCFET) and ferroelectric field-effect transistor (FeFET), are based on the use of ferroelectric materials. In this work, using a multidomain 3D phase field model (based on the time-dependent Ginzburg–Landau equation), we investigate the impact of the interface-trapped charge (Qit) on the transient negative capacitance in a ferroelectric capacitor (i.e., metal/Zr-HfO2/heavily doped Si) in series with a resistor. The simulation results show that the interface trap reinforces the effect of transient negative capacitance.

In this paper, avalanche ruggedness of the commercial 1.2kV 45mΩ asymmetric silicon carbide (SiC) metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) is investigated by single-pulse unclamped inductive switching (UIS) test. The avalanche safe operation area (SOA) of the MOSFET is established. The impact of inductance and temperature on avalanche capability is exhibited, which is valuable for many application circuits. The variation in critical avalanche energy with peak avalanche current, peak avalanche current with avalanche time, and temperatures dependence of critical avalanche energy are confirmed.

Abstract GaXIn1-XAs/GaYIn1-YSb vertical heterojunctionless tunneling field effect transistor (VHJL-TFET) has been suggested to optimize the digital benchmarking parameters. In the proposed VHJL-TFET with type II heterostructure (i.e. X=0.8, Y=0.85), slight changes in gate voltage cause switching from OFF-state to ON-state. As a result, the electrical properties of Ga0.8In0.2As/Ga0.85In0.15Sb VHJL-TFET are excellent in the sub-threshold region. The heterostructure with III-V semiconductors in the source-channel region increases the ON-state current (ION (of the VHJL-TFET. Comparing the results of Ga0.8In0.2As/Ga0.85In0.15Sb VHJL-TFET with the simulated devices with type I heterostructure (i.e. X=0.9, Y=0.1) and type III heterostructure (i.e. X=0.1, Y=0.4) shows the improvement by 26% and 15% in the average subthreshold slope (SS). Sensitivity analysis for VHJL-TFET with the type II heterostructure shows that the sensitivity of OFF-state current (IOFF) to the body thickness (Tb) and doping concentration (ND) is more than the sensitivity of the other main electrical parameters. The Ga0.8In0.2As/Ga0.85In0.15Sb VHJL-TFET with a channel length of 20 nm, Tb=5 nm, and ND=1×1018cm-3 showed the SS=4.4mV/dec, ION/IOFF=4E14, and ION=8mA/um. As a result, Ga0.8In0.2As/Ga0.85In0.15Sb VHJL-TFET can be a reasonable choice for digital applications.
