Coulomb oscillations based on band-to-band tunneling in a degenerately doped silicon metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor

Atomic-Monolayer MoS2 Band-to-Band Tunneling Field-Effect Transistor.

The experimental observation of band-to-band tunneling in novel tunneling field-effect transistors utilizing a monolayer of MoS2 as the conducting channel is demonstrated. Our results indicate that the strong gate-coupling efficiency enabled by two-dimensional materials, such as monolayer MoS2 , results in the direct manifestation of a band-to-band tunneling current and an ambipolar transport.

Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor (MOSFET)

The IGFET or MOSFET is a voltage controlled field effect transistor that differs from a JFET in that it has a “Metal Oxide” Gate electrode which is electrically insulated from the main semiconductor n-channel or p-channel by a very thin layer of insulating material usually silicon dioxide, commonly known as glass. This ultra thin insulated metal gate electrode can be thought of as one plate of ...

Model for band-edge electroluminescence from metal–oxide–semiconductor silicon tunneling diodes

A detailed model is proposed to explain the electroluminescence spectrum from metal–oxide– silicon tunneling diodes. This model includes phonon-assisted processes and exciton involvement. According to this model, the main peak and the low-energy tail of the electroluminescence spectrum are attributed to the transverse optical phonon and the two-phonon assisted recombination, respectively. With ...

Band-to-band tunneling in carbon nanotube field-effect transistors.

A detailed study on the mechanism of band-to-band tunneling in carbon nanotube field-effect transistors (CNFETs) is presented. Through a dual-gated CNFET structure tunneling currents from the valence into the conduction band and vice versa can be enabled or disabled by changing the gate potential. Different from a conventional device where the Fermi distribution ultimately limits the gate volta...
