Breakdown of High-Performance Monolayer MoS2

Andras Kis, Dominik Sebastian Lembke

Two-dimensional (2D) materials such as monolayer molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) are extremely interesting for integration in nanoelectronic devices where they represent the ultimate limit of miniaturization in the vertical direction. Thanks to the presence of ...

Phase-locked loop based on nanoelectromechanical resonant-body field effect transistor

Mihai Adrian Ionescu, Alexandru Rusu, Sebastian Thimotee Bartsch

We demonstrate the room-temperature operation of a silicon nanoelectromechanical resonant-body field effect transistor (RB-FET) embedded into phase-locked loop (PLL). The very-high frequency resonator uses on-chip electrostatic actuation and transistor-bas ...

Multiterminal Memristive Nanowire Devices for Logic and Memory Applications: A Review

Giovanni De Micheli, Davide Sacchetto, Yusuf Leblebici

Memristive devices have the potential for a complete renewal of the electron devices landscape, including memory, logic, and sensing applications. This is especially true when considering that the memristive functionality is not limited to two-terminal dev ...

Coulomb blockade phenomenon in ultra-thin gold nanowires

Hoël Maxime Guérin

Ultra-thin gold nanowires with uniform diameters of 2 nm and lengths of over 100 μm are synthesized via the reduction of gold(III) chloride in an oleylamine matrix. The gold nanowires, dispersed on an oxidized substrate, are top-contacted with metallic ele ...

From All-Si Nanowire TFETs Towards III-V TFETs

Hesham Ghoneim

Performance improvement by device scaling has been the prevailing method in the semiconductor industry over the past four decades. However, current silicon transistor technology is approaching a fundamental limit where scaling does not improve device perfo ...

Power Distribution Solutions for Large Hadron Collider Upgrades

Stefano Michelis

In view of the Large Hadrons Collider experiments upgrade, where the inner front-end electronics will require higher supply power, a new power distribution scheme has to be designed. This thesis presents a new and more efficient scheme based on step-down D ...

Stability of valence alternation pairs across the substoichiometric region at Ge/GeO2 interfaces

Alfredo Pasquarello, Peter Broqvist, Jan Felix Binder

Through hybrid density functional calculations, we compare the Ge-Ge bond energy with the formation energy of a valence alternation pair as the O concentration varies across the Ge/GeO2 interface. First, hole trapping energies are calculated for three atom ...

Small-signal amplifier based on single-layer MoS2

Andras Kis, Branimir Radisavljevic

In this letter we demonstrate the operation of an analog small-signal amplifier based on single-layer MoS2, a semiconducting analogue of graphene. Our device consists of two transistors integrated on the same piece of single-layer MoS2. The high intrinsic ...
