This study investigates, by a two-dimensional simulation, the design optimization of a proposed 8 nm tunnel field-effect transistor (TFET) for low standby power (LSTP) applications utilizing graded Si/SiGe heterojunction with device parameters based on the ITRS specifications. The source Ge mole fraction should be designed approximately 0.8 because using lower Ge fractions causes severe short-channel effects while with higher values does not significantly improve the device performance but may create big difficulties in fabrication. Based on simultaneously optimizing the subthreshold swing, on- and off-currents, optimum values of source doping, drain doping and length of the proposed device are approximately 1020 cm-3,                1018 cm-3, and 10 nm, respectively. The 8 nm graded Si/SiGe TFET with optimized device parameters demonstrates high on-current of 360 μA/μm, low off-current of 0.5 pA/μm, low threshold voltage of 85 mV and very steep subthreshold swing of sub-10 mV/decade. The designed TFET with graded Si/SiGe heterojunction exhibits an excellent performance and makes it an attractive candidate for future LSTP technologies because of its reality to be fabricated with existing FET and SiGe growth techniques.

In this paper, we propose the design optimization of underlapped Si1–xGex-source tunneling field-effect transistors (TFETs) with a gate-all-around structure. The band-to-band tunneling rates, tunneling barrier widths, I–V transfer characteristics, threshold voltages, on/off current ratios, and subthreshold swings (SSs) were analyzed by varying the Ge mole fraction of the Si1–xGex source using a commercial device simulator. In particular, a Si0.2Ge0.8-source TFET among our proposed TFETs exhibits an on/off current ratio of approximately 1013, and SS of 27.4 mV/dec.

Organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) are “soft material” versions of accumulationmode silicon-based FETs, where a gate field across a dielectric induces a conductive charge channel at the interface of the dielectric with a semiconductor, between source and drain electrodes. Charge carrier mobilities >0.01 and on/off ratios >10,000 are routinely obtained, adequate for a few specialized applications such as electrophoretic pixel switches but well below standards established for silicon microprocessor technology. Still, progress that has been made in solution-phase semiconductor deposition and the printing of contacts and dielectrics stimulates the development of OFET circuits for situations where extreme low cost, large area, and mechanical flexibility are important. Circuits with hundreds of OFETs have been demonstrated and a prototype OFETcontrolled black-on-white “electronic ink” sign has been fabricated.

AbstractLarge-scale, defect-free, micro- and nano-circuits with controlled inter-connections represent the nexus between electronic and photonic components. However, their fabrication over large scales often requires demanding procedures that are hardly scalable. Here we synthesize arrays of parallel ultra-long (up to 0.75 mm), monocrystalline, silicon-based nano-wires and complex, connected circuits exploiting low-resolution etching and annealing of thin silicon films on insulator. Phase field simulations reveal that crystal faceting and stabilization of the wires against breaking is due to surface energy anisotropy. Wires splitting, inter-connections and direction are independently managed by engineering the dewetting fronts and exploiting the spontaneous formation of kinks. Finally, we fabricate field-effect transistors with state-of-the-art trans-conductance and electron mobility. Beyond the first experimental evidence of controlled dewetting of patches featuring a record aspect ratio of $$\sim$$~1/60000 and self-assembled $$\sim$$~mm long nano-wires, our method constitutes a distinct and promising approach for the deterministic implementation of atomically-smooth, mono-crystalline electronic and photonic circuits.
