A 3D vertically stacked silicon nanowire (SiNW) and Fin field effect transistor (FET) featuring a high density array (7 or 8 x 20 SiNWs, > 4 Fins vertically stacked) of fully depleted, ultra-thin (SiNWs diameters similar to 15-30 nm, Fin width/height fw si ...
This thesis aims at the site-specific realization of self-assembled field-effect transistors (FETs) based on semiconducting Zinc oxide NWs and their application towards chemical and bio-sensing in liquid medium. At first, a solution based growth method for ...
Multi-gate devices e.g. gate-all-around (GAA) Si nanowires and FinFETs are promising can- didates for aggressive CMOS downscaling. Optimum subthreshold slope, immunity against short channel effect and optimized power consumption are the major benefits of s ...
With technology scaling reaching the fundamental limits of Si-CMOS in the near future, the semiconductor industry is in quest for innovation from various disciplines of integrated circuit (IC) design. At a fundamental level, technology forms the main drive ...
Understanding and mastering the key area of CMOS biointerfaces requires a plurality of skills going beyond traditional disciplines. Indeed, biosensor design requires knowledge of biology and chemistry, surface and semiconductor technology, and electronics. ...
The increase of components density in advanced microelectronics is practically dictated by the device size and the achievable pitch between the devices. Scaling down dimensions of devices and progress in the circuit design allowed following Moore's law dur ...
Carrier recombination at the metal-semiconductor contacts has become a significant obstacle to the further advancement of high-efficiency diffused-junction silicon solar cells. This paper provides the proof-of-concept of a procedure to reduce contact recom ...
Semiconductor nanowires are an emerging class of materials with great potential for applications in future electronic devices. The small footprint and the large charge-carrier mobilities of nanowires make them potentially useful for applications with high- ...
Silicon has been, and continues to be, the material support of integrated circuit (IC) technology-the enabling tool of one of the most impressive technological, industrial and social revolution of mankind. Silicon (both in monocrystalline and polycrystalli ...
Over the recent decades, the balance between increasing the complexity of computer chips and simultaneously reducing cost per bit has been accommodated by down-scaling. While extremely successful in the past, this approach now faces grave limitations leadi ...
