The <span><math><mi>d</mi></math></span>-orbitals of La atoms are more localized in LaOBr. The La atoms thus do not overlap significantly with orbitals of neighboring atoms reducing the hybridization and broadening of the conduction band. A narrower conduction band typically corresponds to a higher energy gap between the valence and conduction bands, potentially increasing the band gap of LaOBr to 3.89 eV (GGA) and 6.27 eV (HSE06) compared to LaOI with band gap of 3.41 eV (GGA) and 5.27 eV (HSE06). Consequently, the optical conductivity of LaOBr is blue shifted to a higher photon energy with a lower static dielectric function and refractive index.

Different channel lengths extending from 20 nm to 12 nm are systematically evaluated. As device dimensions continue to scale down, traditional spacer designs utilising high-<em>k</em> materials encounter challenges such as increased fringe capacitance and degraded control over leakage. This paper addresses these limitations by investigating a dual-<em>k</em> spacer strategy in Tree-FETs. The device architecture is meticulously optimised, exhibiting a nanosheet height and width of 5 nm and 23 nm, respectively, an inter-bridge height of 5 nm, an inter-bridge width of 8 nm and a channel length of 20 nm–12 nm. To optimise device performance, six dual-<em>k</em> spacer combinations have been meticulously chosen: HfO<sub>2</sub>+Air, HfO<sub>2</sub>+Si<sub>3</sub>N<sub>4</sub>, HfO<sub>2</sub>+SiO<sub>2</sub>, Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>+Air, Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>+ Si<sub>3</sub>N<sub>4</sub>, and Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>+ SiO<sub>2</sub>. The findings unequivocally indicate that the HfO<sub>2</sub>+Air dual-<em>k</em> spacer consistently provides superior electrostatic control and markedly boosted DC and analog/RF performance. At a channel length of 20 nm, the HfO<sub>2</sub>+Air configuration attains a remarkably low drain-induced barrier lowering (DIBL) of 24.13 mV/V and an exceptionally steep subthreshold swing (SS) of 60.96 mV/dec, surpassing the single-<em>k</em> HfO<sub>2</sub> spacer, which demonstrates a DIBL of 29.02 mV/V and SS of 61.79 mV/dec. Moreover, the device with the HfO<sub>2</sub>+Air combination exhibits exceptional analog/RF performance, marked by elevated transconductance (gm), diminished output conductance (gds), and a lower cutoff frequency(<em>f</em><sub>T</sub>). This renders the device exceptionally suitable for high-performance and low-frequency applications. As the channel length increases, the advantages of the dual-<em>k</em> spacer become more apparent, leading to a notable improvement in switching performance and a substantial reduction in leakage current. Furthermore, the HfO<sub>2</sub>+Air arrangement routinely attains an <em>I</em><sub>ON</sub>/<em>I</em><sub>OFF</sub> 10<sup>8</sup>, markedly surpassing the <em>I</em><sub>ON</sub>/<em>I</em><sub>OFF</sub> ratio achieved by single-<em>k</em> design.
