Sensitivity, Noise and Resolution in a B -Modified Foundry-Made ISFET with Miniaturized Reference Electrode for Wearable Point-of-Care Applications

Mihai Adrian Ionescu, Junrui Zhang, Francesco Bellando, Pierpaolo Palestri, Luca Selmi

Ion-sensitive field-effect transistors (ISFETs) form a high sensitivity and scalable class of sensors, compatible with advanced complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) processes. Despite many previous demonstrations about their merits as low-power i ...

Analysis of Dielectric Microbead Detection by Impedance Spectroscopy with Nanoribbons

Carlotta Guiducci, Enrico Accastelli, Paolo Scarbolo, Luca Selmi, Thomas Ernst

We present a quantitative numerical analysis of dielectric microbead detection experiments with nanoribbons operated in the AC small signal regime. To this purpose, a comprehensive model of nanoribbon operation in electrolyte environment and with DC/AC sig ...

Multi-Wire Tri-Gate Silicon Nanowires Reaching Milli-pH Unit Resolution in One Micron Square Footprint

Carlotta Guiducci, Enrico Accastelli, Paolo Scarbolo, Pierpaolo Palestri, Luca Selmi, Thomas Ernst

The signal-to-noise ratio of planar ISFET pH sensors deteriorates when reducing the area occupied by the device, thus hampering the scalability of on-chip analytical systems which detect the DNA polymerase through pH measurements. Top-down nano-sized tri-g ...

Quantum Mechanical Study of the Germanium Electron-Hole Bilayer Tunnel FET

Mihai Adrian Ionescu, Luca De Michielis, Cem Alper, Livio Lattanzio, Pierpaolo Palestri, Luca Selmi

The electron-hole bilayer tunnel field-effect transistor (EHBTFET) is an electronic switch that uses 2-D-2-D sub-band-to-sub-band tunneling (BTBT) between electron and hole inversion layers and shows significant subthermal swing over several decades of cur ...

Tunnel-FET architecture with improved performance due to enhanced gate modulation of the tunneling barrier

Mihai Adrian Ionescu, Luca De Michielis, Livio Lattanzio, Pierpaolo Palestri, Luca Selmi

The Tunnel-FET (TFET) device is a gated reverse biased p-i-n junction whose working principle is based on the quantum mechanical Band-to-Band Tunneling (B2BT) mechanism [1]. The OFF-ON transition can be much more abrupt than for conventional MOSFETs, thus ...

Tunneling path impact on semi-classical numerical simulations of TFET devices

Mihai Adrian Ionescu, Luca De Michielis, Pierpaolo Palestri, Luca Selmi

In this work a non-local band-to-band tunnelling model has been implemented into a full-band Monte Carlo simulator. Two different approaches for the choice of the tunnelling path have been implemented and their impact on the transfer characteristics of dif ...
