Transistors are the fundamental elements in Integrated Circuits (IC). The development of transistors significantly improves the circuit performance. Numerous technology innovations have been adopted to maintain the continuous scaling down of transistors. W ...
Traditional metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistor scaling has advanced successfully over 50 years providing significant increases in transistor count per chip and operating frequency, thus enabled the built of ever more performant and complex s ...
In this study, design considerations for ultra low voltage (ULV) standard-cell based memories (SCM) are presented. Trade-offs for area cost, leakage power, access time, and access energy are discussed and realized using different read logic styles, latch a ...

The double-gate (DG) junction field-effect transistor (JFET) is a classical electron device, with a simple structure that presents many advantages in terms of device fabrication but also its principle of operation. The device has been largely used in low-n ...
GaN based electronic devices have progressed rapidly over the past decades and are nowadays starting to replace Si and classical III-V semiconductors in power electronics systems and high power RF amplifiers. AlGaN/GaN heterostructures have been, until rec ...
Lattice-matched InAlN/GaN high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) have been prepared in a silicon-on-insulator (SOI)-like configuration. Here, this implies an ultrathin body 50 nm GaN channel/50 nm AlN nucleation layer material structure on sapphire wit ...
We present a new normally-off GaN transistor-the tri-gate normally-off GaN metal-insulator-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MISFET). Due to the excellent channel control of a new 3-D gate structure, a breakdown voltage of 565 V has been achieved at a ...
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 ...
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 ...
A new tri-gate normally-off GaN metal-insulator-semiconductor field effect transistor (MISFET) is presented in this paper. By using a three-dimensional gate structure with combination of a sub-micron gate recess, the new device achieves a very low off-stat ...
