Vertically integrated photo junction-field-effect transistor pixels for retinal prosthesis

Junction Field Effect Transistor (JFET)

The single channel junction field-effect transistor (JFET) is probably the simplest transistor available. As shown in the schematics below (Figure 6.13 in your text) for the n-channel JFET (left) and the p-channel JFET (right), these devices are simply an area of doped silicon with two diffusions of the opposite doping. Please be aware that the schematics presented are for illustrative purposes...

Graphene field effect transistor as a radiation and photo detector

We exploit the dependence of the electrical conductivity of graphene on a local electric field, which can be abruptly changed by charge carriers generated by ionizing radiation in an absorber material, to develop novel highperformance radiation sensors for detection of photons and other kinds of ionizing radiation. This new detection concept is implemented by configuring graphene as a field eff...

Direct Growth of Vertically-oriented Graphene for Field-Effect Transistor Biosensor

A sensitive and selective field-effect transistor (FET) biosensor is demonstrated using vertically-oriented graphene (VG) sheets labeled with gold nanoparticle (NP)-antibody conjugates. VG sheets are directly grown on the sensor electrode using a plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) method and function as the sensing channel. The protein detection is accomplished through measuring ...

In-plane tunnelling field-effect transistor integrated on Silicon

Silicon has persevered as the primary substrate of microelectronics during last decades. During last years, it has been gradually embracing the integration of ferroelectricity and ferromagnetism. The successful incorporation of these two functionalities to silicon has delivered the desired non-volatility via charge-effects and giant magneto-resistance. On the other hand, there has been a numero...
