Abstract An increase in power consumption necessitates a low-power circuit technology to extend Moore’s law. Low-power transistors, such as tunnel field-effect transistors (TFETs)1-5, negative-capacitance field-effect transistors (NC-FETs)6, and Dirac-source field-effect transistors (DS-FETs)7-10, have been realised to break the thermionic limit of the subthreshold swing (SS). However, a low-power diode rectifier, which breaks the thermionic limit of an ideality factor (η) of 1 at room temperature, has not been proposed yet. In this study, we have realised a DS diode, which exhibits a steep-slope characteristic curve, by utilising the linear density of states (DOSs) of graphene7. For the developed DS diode, η < 1 for more than two decades of drain current with a minimum value of 0.8, and the rectifying ratio is large (> 105). The realisation of a DS diode paves the way for the development of low-power electronic circuits.

Measuring Signal

Accurate and cost-effective integrated sensor systems for continuous monitoring of pH and blood gases continue to be in high demand. The capacity of ion-selective and Gas-sensitive field effect transistors (FETs) to serve as low-power sensors for accurate continuous monitoring of pH and blood gases is evaluated in the amperometric or current mode of operation. A stand-alone current-mode topology is employed in which a constant bias is applied to the gate with the drain current serving as the measuring signal. Compared with voltage-mode operation (e.g., in the feedback mode in ion-selective FETs), current-mode topologies offer the advantages of small size and low power consumption. However, the ion-selective FET (ISFET) and the Gas-sensitive FET (GasFET) exhibit a similar drift behavior, imposing a serious limitation on the accuracy of these sensors for continuous monitoring applications irrespective of the mode of operation. Given the slow temporal variation associated with the drift characteristics in both devices, a common post-processing technique that involves monitoring the variation of the drain current over short intervals of time can potentially allow extraction of the measuring signal in presence of drift in both sensor types. Furthermore, in the amperometric mode the static sensitivity of a FET-based sensor, given by the product of the FET transconductance and the sensitivity of the device threshold voltage to the measurand concentration, can be increased by adjusting the device design parameters. Increasing the sensitivity, while of interest in its own right, also enhances the accuracy of the proposed method. Rigorous analytical validation of the method is presented for GasFET operation in the amperometric mode. Moreover, the correction algorithm is verified experimentally using a Si3N4-gate ISFET operating in the amperometric mode to monitor pH variations ranging from 3.5 to 10.

Graphene Field-effect transistors (GFETs) are excellent candidates for all-electric, low-power radiation sources and detectors based on integrated circuit technology. In this work, we show that a hydrodynamic instability can be ex¬plored (the Dyakonov–Shur instability) to excite the graphene plasmons. The instability can be sustained with the help of a source-to-drain current and con¬trolled with the gate voltage. It is shown that the plasmons radiate a frequency comb in the Terahertz (THz) range. It is argued how this can pave the stage for a new generation of low power THz sources in integrated-circuit technology.

Commercial Technology

The fabrication of ion sensitive field effect transistors (ISFET) and microelectrode arrays for use as chemical sensors using a commercial CMOS fabrication process is described. The commercial technology is readily available through the Canadian Microelectronics Corporation; however, several of the recommended design rules must be ignored in preparing chemical sensors using this process. The ISFET devices show near theoretical response to K+ in aqueous solution (55 mV slope) when coated with a K+ sensitive membrane. An extended gate ion sensitive device is presented which offers advantages in encapsulation of ISFET sensors. The source-drain current of both devices show a linear response to log [Formula: see text] in contrast to ISFETs previously reported that have high internal lead resistances. Al and poly-Si microelectrode arrays are fabricated commercially and then Pt is electrodeposited on the microelectrodes. The resulting arrays show good cyclic voltammetric response to Fe(CN)64− and Ru(NH3)63+ and are relatively durable.

ABSTRACTThe fabrication and characterization of AlGaN/GaN metal-oxide-semiconductor heterostructure field-effect transistors (MOSHFETs) with the δ-doped barrier are reported. The incorporation of the SiO2 insulated-gate and the δ-doped barrier into HFET structures reduces the gate leakage and improves the 2D channel carrier mobility. The device has a high drain-current-driving and gate-control capabilities as well as a very high gate-drain breakdown voltage of 200 V, a cutoff frequency of 15 GHz and a maximum frequency of oscillation of 34 GHz for a gate length of 1 μm. These characteristics indicate a great potential of this structure for high-power-microwave applications.
