Solution-gated graphene field-effect transistors (SG-GFETs) provide an ideal platform for sensing biomolecules owing to their high electron/hole mobilities and 2D nature. However, the transfer curve often drifts in an electrolyte solution during measurements, making it difficult to accurately estimate the analyte concentration. One possible reason for this drift is that p-doping of GFETs is gradually countered by cations in the solution, because the cations can permeate into the polymer residue and/or between graphene and SiO2 substrates. Therefore, we propose doping sufficient cations to counter p-doping of GFETs prior to the measurements. For the pre-treatment, GFETs were immersed in a 15 mM sodium chloride aqueous solution for 25 h. The pretreated GFETs showed that the charge neutrality point (CNP) drifted by less than 3 mV during 1 h of measurement in a phosphate buffer, while the non-treated GFETs showed that the CNP was severely drifted by approximately 50 mV, demonstrating a 96% reduction of the drift by the pre-treatment. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis revealed the accumulation of sodium ions in the GFETs through pre-treatment. Our method is useful for suppressing drift, thus allowing accurate estimation of the target analyte concentration.

Back-gated field effect transistors (FETs) based on catalyst-free grown 3C-SiC nanowires (NWs) were fabricated and electrical characterization is presented. Silvaco simulation was used to fit the I-V characteristics and to extract information about the carrier (electrons) concentration and the oxide/NW interface quality. The high trap density and fixed charges at the nanowire/oxide interface, Dit~5x1011 cm-2eV-1 and Qf ~3x1013cm-2, and the high electron concentration (~3x1019 cm-3) originating from unintentional doping severely affect the electrical conduction through the nanowires which has as a result low values of mobility and transconductance, 0.11 cm2/Vs and 7x10-10 A/V, respectively.

Developing efficient and cheap photocatalysts that are sensitive to indoor light is promising for the practical application of photocatalysis technology. Here, N-doped TiO2 photocatalyst with loaded Cu crystalline cocatalyst is synthesized by a simple one-pot method. The structure is confirmed by transmission electron microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis, which exhibit that Cu metal nanocrystalline is uniformly deposited on the surface of N-doped TiO2 material. UV-Vis absorption spectra illustrate that the modified samples possess favorable visible light absorption properties and suppressed-electron hole separation. The as-fabricated Cu-loaded N-TiO2 materials show high activity in photocatalytic decomposing isopropanol and inactivating E. coli under the irradiation of a household white LED lamp. The developed synthetic strategy and photocatalytic materials reported here are promising for indoor environment purification.

Abstract The combination of better transport properties of III-V group semiconductors along with excellent electrostatic control of surrounding gate is a promising option for the future low power electronics. Accordingly in this brief, the major figures of merit (FOM) including output current, output conductance (gd), transconductance generation factor (TGF), intrinsic gain (dB), and dynamic power dissipation are computed for surrounding-gate field effect transistors (SG-FETs) considering III-V group semiconductors and Si channel material respectively with respect to different device parameters. It is noticed that the center potential is higher in AlGaN/GaN SG-FET than Si for different values of channel length (CL), channel height (H), oxide thickness (tox), and doping concentration (Nd). The AlGaN/GaN SG-FET provides lower gd than Si for different values of CL, H, tox, and Nd as required for MOS analog circuits to achieve higher gain. The peak value of TGF and intrinsic gain is higher in AlGaN/GaN than Si SG-FET for different values of CL, H, tox, and Nd. In this work, we have analyzed the MOSFET structure for normally off operation of AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) to reduce dynamic power dissipation (PD). The magnitude of PD is calculated to be lower in normally off AlGaN/GaN SG-FET than Si for different values of CL, H, and tox.
