We show that remote phonons originating in the dielectric stack are expected to strongly affect the mobility, although assessing their actual influence at high inversion charge requires the development of an accurate model for dynamic screening. When the applied bias opens the energy gap, the mobility is significantly reduced. The saturation velocity is expected to be as high as 3×107 cm/s and less degraded than mobility by bandgap opening.","PeriodicalId":161896,"journal":{"name":"2011 Proceedings of the European Solid-State Device Research Conference (ESSDERC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123296165","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The operation of the suspended-body SWCNTFETs, in double-gate (DG) mode and single-gate (SG) mode, is analyzed in detail. Strong interface coupling of the double gates and tuning of the second independent gate (linear threshold voltage variation, constant subthreshold swing), are typical effects in these suspended-body SWCNTFETs. The comparison of SG and DG operations demonstrates the superiority of DG SWCNTFETs: remarkably improved subthreshold slope (from 130 mV/decade to 86 mV/decade) and transconductance (higher than four times the value in SG SWCNTFETs). The experimental data and the difference between SG and DG modes are explained. The double-gate suspended-body CNTFETs hold promise for bottom-up fabrication of resonant nano-electro-mechanical-systems (NEMS) devices, such as tunable/switchable resonators for sensing and radio-frequency (RF) applications.","PeriodicalId":161896,"journal":{"name":"2011 Proceedings of the European Solid-State Device Research Conference (ESSDERC)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128436224","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For the first time, non-reciprocal signal flow is experimentally demonstrated for field-coupled nanomagnets and homogeneous clocking fields. Micromagnetic simulations are performed and field-coupled nanomagnets are fabricated by focused ion beam (FIB) lithography and ion beam etching. Partial irradiation with a FIB is investigated to tailor the switching behavior of the nanomagnets. Three coupled nano-magnets in a wire are measured to verify the simulation results.

Coplanar waveguides fabricated on the wafers show strongly reduced attenuation. Hall measurements indicate that the increase in resistivity is clearly due to a reduction in free carriers. The temperature dependence of the free carrier concentration in the range of 200–350K indicates that the Fermi-level is virtually pinned mid-gap.","PeriodicalId":161896,"journal":{"name":"2011 Proceedings of the European Solid-State Device Research Conference (ESSDERC)","volume":"217 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116043975","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
