The first stage is utilized as the driver stage to improve the efficiency and decrease the number of inductors used for input and interstage matching. Furthermore, the use of a self-biasing technique could enhance the output power and power added efficiency (PAE).

The 2D material was deposited using either area selective chemical vapor deposition (CVD) or Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD). No material transfer was required. The major integration challenges are the limited adhesion and the fragility of the few-monolayer 2D material. These issues are avoided by using a sacrificial Al2O3 capping layer and by encapsulating the edges of the 2D material during wet processing. The WS2 channel is contacted with Ti/TiN side contacts and an industry-standard back end of line (BEOL) flow. This novel low-temperature flow is promising for integration of back-gated 2D transistors in the BEOL.","PeriodicalId":424135,"journal":{"name":"2017 Silicon Nanoelectronics Workshop (SNW)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128675425","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}

As the drain bias (VDS) increases, the device initially enters a soft saturation and later into a deep saturation state, both at a constant difference between the gate-drain bias (VGD)· An increase in source (drain) doping decreases (increases) the soft saturation voltage. The short channel lengths degrade the saturation in the TFETs. Agate-drain underlapcauses early onset of the saturation in TFETs, while, a reduction in the nanowire diameter delays the saturation. The output resistance (Ro), transconductance (gm), and intrinsic gain (gm×Ro) increase when the device enters in soft saturation and attain a maxi mum in the deep saturation state.
