Steep Slope Transistors for Quantum Computing

Mihai Adrian Ionescu, Teodor Rosca, Cem Alper

In this paper we will present and discuss the potential of steep slope transistors to serve at cryogenic temperature: (i) the electronic design that is needed for qubit error correction and/or interfacing and (ii) to serve as ultra-sensitive charge detecto ...

Benchmarking of Homojunction Strained-Si NW Tunnel FETs for Basic Analog Functions

Mihai Adrian Ionescu, Cem Alper, Arnab Biswas, Florin Udrea

This paper reports a compact ambipolar model for homojunction strained-silicon (sSi) nanowire (NW) tunnel FETs (TFETs) capable of accurately describing both I-V and G-V characteristics in all regimes of operation, n- and p-ambipolarity, the superlinear ons ...

Modeling and optimization of Tunnel-FET architectures exploiting carrier gas dimensionality

Cem Alper

The semiconductor industry, governed by the Moore's law, has achieved the almost unbelievable feat of exponentially increasing performance while lowering the costs for years. The main enabler for this achievement has been the scaling of the CMOS transistor ...

Steep-slope transistors allow to scale down the supply voltage and the energy per computed bit of information as compared to conventional field-effect transistors (FETs), due to their sub-60 mV/decade subthreshold swing at room temperature. Currently pursu ...

The electron-hole bilayer tunnel (EHBTFET). has been proposed as a density of states (DOS) switch capable of achieving a subthreshold slope lower than 60mV/decade at room temperature; however, one of the main challenges is the control of the lateral band-t ...

Switching Behavior Constraint in the Heterogate Electron–Hole Bilayer Tunnel FET: The Combined Interplay Between Quantum Confinement Effects and Asymmetric Configurations

Mihai Adrian Ionescu, Cem Alper, José Luis Padilla de la Torre

Switching behavior in electron-hole bilayer tunnel FETs is known to be unaffected by the subthreshold swing limitation of 60 mV/decade imposed by thermal injection, due to the band-to-band tunneling phenomena on which they rely. However, in this paper, we ...

Assessment of Confinement-Induced Band-to-Band Tunneling Leakage in the FinEHBTFET

Mihai Adrian Ionescu, Cem Alper, José Luis Padilla de la Torre

In conventional planar EHBTFETs, the interband tunneling phenomena responsible for the drive current takes place vertically in the section of the channel where top and bottom gates overlap. As a result, the horizontal extent of this overlapping between gat ...
