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 ...
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 ...
Resonators for time and frequency reference applications are essential elements found in most electronic devices surrounding us. The continuous minimization and ubiquitous distribution of such electronic devices and circuits demands for resonators of small ...
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 ...
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 ...
The aim of this work has been the investigation of homo-junction Tunnel Field Effect Transistors starting from a compact modelling perspective to its possible applications. Firstly a TCAD based simulation study is done to explain the main device characteri ...
The development of nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS) is likely to open up a broad spectrum of applications in science and technology. In this study, we demonstrate a novel double-transduction principle for silicon nanowire resonators which exploits the ...
A new class of nanoscale devices called ion-sensitive metal-semiconductor field-effect transistors (nano-IS-MESFET) for sensing applications is reported. Nanoparticle-nanowire hybrids with active metal-semiconductor regions are operated as ion-sensitive fi ...
Platinum/tantalum/silicon ohmic contacts were designed, fabricated and characterized to withstand high-temperature post-processing: the ohmic behavior was maintained after 1 h annealing, at temperatures up to 850 degrees C in an oxidizing environment. A LP ...
