Chau","doi":"10.1109/EDSSC.2005.1635194","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/EDSSC.2005.1635194","url":null,"abstract":"This presentation will highlight the opportunities and challenges ofnon-Si materials such as i) carbon-nanotubes (CNTs), ii) semiconductor-nanowires, iii) Ge, and iv) Ill-V materials for future high-speed, low-power logic applications. These materials, in general, have significantly higher intrinsic mobility (either hole or electron mobility) than Si, and they can potentially be used to replace Si as the channel material of the transistor to both enhance speed and reduce power. In this talk, emerging nanoelectronic devices such as semiconductor-nanowire field effect transistors (FETs) [1,2], carbon-nanotube FETs [1-3], Ge MOSFETs [4], strained Ge quantum-well FETs [4], and III-V compound semiconductor quantum-well FETs [4-6], are assessed for their potential in future high-performance, low-power computation applications. These emerging devices are benchmarked against state-of-the-art Si CMOS technologies in terms ofboth speed and power dissipation. The three fundamental transistor benchmarking metrics utilized in this study are i) intrinsic gate delay versus transistor physical gate length, ii) energy-delay product versus transistor physical gate length, and iii) intrinsic gate-delay versus the on-current/off-state leakage ratio (Ion/loff). While intrinsic device speed and switching energy are emphasized in the first and second metrics respectively, the tradeoff between device speed versus off-state leakage is assessed in the third metric. For high-speed and low-power logic applications, both low gate delay and low energy-delay product, as well as high Ion/loff ratios are required. The current status of these emerging nanoelectronic devices in light of the above metrics will be described in this talk. In addition, the merits and shortcomings, as well as the physics of operation of these devices, will be described. In addition to the above device aspects, the material and integration (onto silicon) aspects of these emerging nanotechnologies are significant as well. These non-Si materials will not replace Si, rather they will need to be integrated onto the silicon substrate. Both CNTs and semiconductor nanowires are formed using \"bottom-up\" chemical syntheses, and they currently suffer from the fundamental placement problem, i.e., there exists no practical nor reliable way to precisely align and position them. On the other hand, Ill-V and Ge materials can be patterned into desirable device structures using conventional \"top-down\" lithographic and etch techniques. In this regard, III-Vs and Ge are considered far more practical than CNTs and nanowires for future high-speed, low-power nanoelectronic device applications. In fact, Ill-V materials have been used in communication and optoelectronic products for quite some time. However, many significant challenges remain for III-V materials to become applicable for future high-speed, low-power logic applications. These include (i) finding a gate dielectric compatible with III-Vs, (ii) demonstrating transi","PeriodicalId":429314,"journal":{"name":"2005 IEEE Conference on Electron Devices and Solid-State Circuits","volume":"71 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115664977","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}

A channel current control effect by the gate voltage since Joule heating in 50-nm- to 200-nm-thick devices was observed but not strong. Switching to the lowly resistive state in devices with an ultrathin channel was difficult, which might be due to large voids forming in the heated Ge2Sb2Te5channel. After annealing, drain-source resistance of devices dropped by about 3 orders of magnitude owing to phase change.
