Planar field-induced quantum dot transistor
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose and demonstrate a new field-induced quantum dot transistor that has a nanoscale dot-gate inside the gap of a split gate. Because of the novel structure and small dot size, strong oscillations in the drain current as a function of the gate bias were observed at a temperature up to 4.2 K or with a drain bias up to 5 mV. Temperature dependent study showed that the energy gaps in the dot are as large as 4.5 meV. Simulation indicates that, in the device, quantum size effect and Coulomb effect are comparable; both contribute significantly to the energy gaps in the quantum dot.

Quantum current modeling in nano-transistors with a quantum dot
Carbon quantum dots (CQDs) serve as a new class of ‘zero dimensional’ nanomaterial’s in thecarbon class with sizes below 10 nm. As light emitting nanocrystals, QDs are assembled from semiconductormaterials, from the elements in the periodic groups of II-VI, III-V or IV-VI, mainly thanks to impacts of quantum confinement QDs have unique optical properties such as brighter, highly pho...
متن کاملFault-tolerant adder design in quantum-dot cellular automata
Quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA) are an emerging technology and a possible alternative for faster speed, smaller size, and low power consumption than semiconductor transistor based technologies. Previously, adder designs based on conventional designs were examined for implementation with QCA technology. This paper utilizes the QCA characteristics to design a fault-tolerant adder that is more...
