These essential features can be obtained by reducing the thickness of ultra-thin-body structures or the diameter of nanowires. Two-dimensional materials, especially their single-layer (SL) configuration, represent a promising alternative to conventional semiconductors due to their intrinsic sub-1nm thickness. Indeed, a TFET implementing an atomically thin MoS2 channel combined with a Ge layer was recently shown to exhibit a less than 60 mV/dec SS over several orders of magnitude and a decent ION[2]. In this experiment, however, MoS2 had to be grouped with Ge to achieve the desired goal, thus raising the question whether 2-D materials alone can provide a suitable platform for high performance TFETs. Various theoretical studies based on empirical tight-binding models and focusing on SL transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) [3] and black phosphorus [4] have come to the conclusion that these compounds, in particular WTe2, could deliver ON-currents larger than $100 mumathrm{A}/mumathrm{m}$ at a supply voltage $V_{DD}=0.5 mathrm{V}$ and OFF-current $I_{OFF}=1 mathrm{nA}/mumathrm{m}$. Here, by employing an ab-initio quantum transport simulator, we will demonstrate that none of the usual TMDs reaches a $I_{ON} > > 10 mumathrm{A}/mumathrm{m}$, contrary to recently discovered 2-D materials [5] that could pave the way for future, highly efficient TFETs.","PeriodicalId":269641,"journal":{"name":"2018 76th Device Research Conference (DRC)","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130842464","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}

Then in 2013, NASA demonstrated a two-way laser link between earth and a satellite in lunar orbit over 239,000 miles at a data rate of 622 Mbps, which is more than six times faster than previous state-of-the-art radio systems deployed to the moon [1]. The free space optical systems can be assembled with commercial-off-the-shelf(COTS) components. However, for deployment on small spacecraft, lower cost, size, weight and power (CSWaP) is required, while still demonstrating high output optical power and power-efficient modulation formats [2]. The indium phosphide (InP) photonic integrated circuit (PIC) platform is attractive for free space links since it enables complex single-chip implementations of advanced transmitters and receivers [3]–[5]. In this work, a free space optical link based on an InP PIC transmitter has been demonstrated. The transmitter is tunable from 1521 nm to 1565 nm, covering the entire C band. Error-free operation was achieved at 3 Gbps for an equivalent link length of 180 m (up to 300 m with forward error correction), and this distance can scale with the use of a high-power amplifier at the output.","PeriodicalId":269641,"journal":{"name":"2018 76th Device Research Conference (DRC)","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123883196","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 high voltage, high current applications, vertical device structures on bulk GaN substrates are especially promising [1]. Although the ability to scale the devices to large absolute currents is critical for power electronics, to date the current-carrying capability of many demonstrated devices has fallen short of theoretical expectations due to non-idealities in device area scaling. High performance vertical GaN-on-GaN p-n diodes using N ion-implantation edge termination incorporating a partially-compensated layer were demonstrated to achieve breakdown voltages of 1.2 kV, and both the reverse and forward current densities were found to scale well with area [2]. In this work, a device structure designed for higher breakdown operation was explored, and devices with a range of areas were fabricated and tested under high-current drive conditions. Peak forward currents approaching 10 A at a forward voltage of 5.3 V were obtained for typical $550 mu mathrm{m}$ diameter GaN-on-GaN p-n diodes having a breakdown voltage of 1.6 kV.","PeriodicalId":269641,"journal":{"name":"2018 76th Device Research Conference (DRC)","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126981432","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}
