Enhanced Characteristics of Square-Shaped Extended Source TFET Via Silicon Carbide Polytype (3C-SiC) and a Dopant Pocket Layer

چکیده
In this paper, for the first time, the square-shaped extended source tunneling field-effect transistor (SES TFET) by means of the silicon carbide polytype (3C-SiC) and dopant pocket layer has been presented. By inserting the silicon carbide polytype as substrate and n-type pocket in the channel at the source edge, on-current is increased by about 10 times compared with the conventional SES TFET because of the reduced losses and energy band modification imposed by the silicon carbide and pocket doping, respectively. Additionally, using calibrated simulations, the SES TFET with 3C-SiC substrate and dopant pocket layer is evaluated in terms of various radiofrequency (RF) parameters, including the gate to source capacitance, gate to drain capacitance, trans conductance, channel resistance, transport time delay, cutoff and maximum oscillation frequencies. The simulation results of the SES TFET with the 3C-SiC substrate and dopant pocket layer exhibits a superior switching-state current ratio ( ̴̴ 1013) and a small transport time delay (about 0.15 psec) that is a hopeful candidate for conventional SES TFET.

Polytype distribution of circumstellar silicon carbide: Microstructural characterization by transmission electron microscopy
Silicon carbide (SiC) is a particularly interesting species of presolar grain because it is known to form on the order of a hundred different polytypes in the laboratory, and the formation of a particular polytype is sensitive to growth conditions. Astronomical evidence for the formation of SiC in expanding circumstellar atmospheres of asymptotic giant branch (AGB) carbon stars is provided by i...
متن کاملPolytype distribution in circumstellar silicon carbide.
The inferred crystallographic class of circumstellar silicon carbide based on astronomical infrared spectra is controversial. We have directly determined the polytype distribution of circumstellar SiC from transmission electron microscopy of presolar silicon carbide from the Murchison carbonaceous meteorite. Only two polytypes (of a possible several hundred) were observed: cubic 3C and hexagona...

Current advancement in electronic devices is so rapid that silicon, the semiconductor material most widely used today, needs to be replaced in some of the fields. Silicon carbide (SiC) is a wide band gap semiconductor satisfying requirements to replace silicon in devices operating at high power and high frequency at elevated temperature, and in harsh environments. Hexagonal polytypes of SiC, su...

We present the design, fabrication, and characterization of high quality factor (Q ~10(3)) and small mode volume (V ~0.75 (λ/n)(3)) planar photonic crystal cavities from cubic (3C) thin films (thickness ~200 nm) of silicon carbide (SiC) grown epitaxially on a silicon substrate. We demonstrate cavity resonances across the telecommunications band, with wavelengths from 1.25 - 1.6 μm. Finally, we ...

We report on the growth of 4H-SiC epitaxial layer on Si-face polished nominally on-axis 2” full wafer, using Hot-Wall CVD epitaxy. The polytype stability has been maintained over the larger part of the wafer, but 3C inclusions have not been possible to avoid. Special attention has given to the mechanism of generation and propagation of 3C polytype in 4H-SiC epilayer. Different optical and struc...
