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 ...
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 ...
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- ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
We present enhancement-mode GaN high electron mobility transistors on Si substrates with ZrO2 gate dielectrics of thicknesses t(ox) between 10 and 24 nm. The oxide interlayers between the InAlN/AlN barrier and gate metal allow raising the device threshold ...
Silicon technology has advanced at exponential rates both in performances and productivity through the past four decades. However the limit of CMOS technology seems to be closer and closer and in the future we might see an increasing number of hybrid appro ...
A novel approach for the fabrication of transistors and circuits based on individual single-crystalline ZnO nanowires synthesized by a low-temperature hydrothermal method is reported. The gate dielectric of these transistors is a self-assembled monolayer t ...
By applying various surface treatments to the oxide gate of pentacene transistors, both in vacuum (H2, O2 and Ar plasma treatments) and in aqueous solution, we were able to vary the balance between oxygen-free radicals (Si•), oxygen-centered radicals (Si−O ...
