This thesis explores the electronic properties of one layered transition-metal dichalcogenide – single-layer MoS2, and demonstrates the first transistors and integrated circuits with characteristics that outperform graphene electronics in many aspects and ...
Organic thin-film transistors (TFTs) have undergone tremendous progress in the past few years. Their great potential in terms of mechanical flexibility, light weight, low-cost and large-area fabrication makes them promising candidates for novel electronic ...
Two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors such as single- and few-layer molybdenum disulphide(MoS2) are promising building blocks for prospect flexible, transparent and low power electronics. Due to an electronic bandgap of the order of ~1.8 eV and atomic-scale ...
In the last decade the power consumption of electronic devices has increased for both static and active components. Following the Dennard's scaling rule, as long as the transistor sizes are reduced then the supply voltage (VDD) can also be scaled in order ...
As complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS) scaling meets fundamental limitations, revolutionary device concepts and materials are urgently needed as alternatives or supplements to CMOS technology. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs), featuring extraordinary phy ...
Nanosystems are large-scale integrated systems exploiting nanoelectronic devices. In this work, we consider double independent gate, vertically-stacked nanowire FETs with gate-all-around structures and typical diameter of 20-nm. These devices, which we hav ...
This work presents different circuit architectures that combine sensing and signal readout functions. The basic building block is a Fin Field-Effect Transistor (Fin-FET) used as both sensor and metal gate transistor. Moreover, a hybrid partially gated FinF ...
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 ...
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 ...
Self-aligned suspended-body single-walled (SW) carbon nanotube field-effect transistors (CNFETs) with dual lateral gates have been demonstrated. Two independent lateral gates are symmetrically placed less than 100 nm away from the CNT channel. The operatio ...
