Beyond Scaling

Luca De Michielis

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 ...

Multi-gate Si nanowire MOSFETs

Mohammad Najmzadeh

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 ...

A tunneling field-effect transistor exploiting internally combined band-to-band and barrier tunneling mechanisms

Mihai Adrian Ionescu, Luca De Michielis, Livio Lattanzio, Arnab Biswas

This letter proposes a hybrid abrupt switch principle and a corresponding device architecture that combines quantum mechanical band-to-band and barrier tunneling mechanisms. The device overcomes the intrinsically low on-current (I-ON) of conventional tunne ...

Electron-hole bilayer tunnel FET for steep subthreshold swing and improved ON current

Mihai Adrian Ionescu, Luca De Michielis, Livio Lattanzio

We propose a novel Tunnel field-effect transistor (TFET) concept called the electron-hole bilayer TFET (EHBTFET). This device exploits the carrier tunneling through a bias-induced electron-hole bilayer in order to achieve improved switching and higher driv ...

Nanoengineered Silicon: Technology and Applications

Sandro Carrara, Lucia Baldi Unser

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 ...

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 ...

Self-Assembled Liquid-Gated Zinc Oxide Nanowire Transistors

Vivek Pachauri

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 ...

Field-Effect Transistors Based on ZnO Nanowires

Daniel Dominik Kälblein

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- ...

Process Variation and Leakage Power

Bahman Kheradmand Boroujeni

Technology scaling improves the energy, performance, and area of the digital circuits. With further scaling into sub-45nm regime, we are moving toward very low supply (VDD) and threshold voltages (VT), smaller VDD/VT ratio, high leakage current, and large ...
