Single-Crystal Nanowire Transistor for Logic and Memory Applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
The breakthrough of the well-known scaling barriers for silicon CMOS logic and memory chip technology would demands intensive research not only on the innovative “topdown” process technologies, but also into the “bottom-up” nanotechnology for nanomaterials and innovative device architectures. In this paper, we explore the chemical synthesis of 1-D inorganic semiconducting nanowires and the corresponding device technology. Logic and memory functionalities are observed from the fabricated devices with simple architectures. Device physics is investigated for the better understanding of the technological potentials of replacing bulk silicon CMOS devices with 1-D nanowirebased devices.
