Valley-engineered ultra-thin silicon for high-performance junctionless transistors
نویسندگان
چکیده
Extremely thin silicon show good mechanical flexibility because of their 2-D like structure and enhanced performance by the quantum confinement effect. In this paper, we demonstrate a junctionless FET which reveals a room temperature quantum confinement effect (RTQCE) achieved by a valley-engineering of the silicon. The strain-induced band splitting and a quantum confinement effect induced from ultra-thin-body silicon are the two main mechanisms for valley engineering. These were obtained from the extremely well-controlled silicon surface roughness and high tensile strain in silicon, thereupon demonstrating a device mobility increase of ~500% in a 2.5 nm thick silicon channel device.

In this work, we present atomic scale simulation of junctionless semiconducting single–walled carbon nanotubes field effect transistors (CNT–FETs) and compare their performance to silicon nanowire (SiNW) transistors with similar dimensions. The energy dispersions relations for p–type SiNW and CNT are compared. The response of the transistors to source–drain bias and gate voltage is explored. Co...

متن کاملDrain Current and Short Channel Effects Modeling in Junctionless Nanowire Transistors
Planar MOS devices miniaturization becomes quite challenging for transistors with reduced channel length due to the loss of gate control over the channel charges. As an alternative, multi-gate devices have been developed due to the better electrostatic control of the charges, which leads to a reduction of the short-channel effects [1-6]. However, for devices with extremely reduced channel lengt...
