Room-Temperature Ballistic Nanodevices
One of the most important physical parameters to describe the quality of a piece of semiconductor material is the electron scattering length le. Also referred to as the mean-free path, it stands for the average distance between the randomly distributed scatterers in the material, such as lattice defects, impurities, and phonons. The electron mean-free path is typically a few nanometers (1 nm = ...
متن کاملTransport in multiterminal graphene nanodevices.
We study the transport properties of multiterminal graphene nanodevices using the Landauer-Buttiker approach and the tight binding model. We consider a four-terminal device made at the crossing of a zigzag and armchair nanoribbons and two types of T-junction devices. The transport properties of graphene multiterminal devices are highly sensitive to the details of the junction region. Thus the p...
متن کاملFinite Element Modeling and Simulation of Photoconductive and Ballistic Semiconductor Nanodevices
This thesis presents models, simulation techniques, and simulation results for two types of semiconductor nanodevice; the metal-semiconductor-metal (MSM) photodetector, and the ballistic deflection transistor (BDT). Our simulation tools were developed using the commercial ComsolTM finite element analysis (FEA) field solver to obtain the numeric solutions. Finite element models have been develop...
متن کاملPicosecond electric pulse excitation of three- branch ballistic nanodevices
Picosecond electrical pulse excitation of the ballistic three-branch junctions (TBJs) was performed to investigate the electrical response at terahertz frequencies. The generation of picosecond electrical pulses and the signal detection with sub-picosecond temporal resolution were achieved by a photoconductive switch and the time-resolved electro-optical sampling technique, respectively, with t...
متن کاملQuasi-ballistic Transport in Submicron Hg0.8Cd0.2Te Diodes: Hydrodynamic Modeling
In this paper, we analyze the problem of quasiballistic electron transport in ultra small of mercury -cadmiumtelluride (Hg0.8Cd0.2Te -MCT) n-nn devices from hydrodynamic point view. From our study, we note that, when the size of the active layer is low than 0.1μm and for low bias application ( ) mV 9 ≥ , the quasi-ballistic transport has an important effect. Keywords—Hg0.8Cd0.2Te semiconductor,...
