Continuous pulsed microwave and single shot measurements are used to demonstrate that photons in the range of 10-15 GHz allow manipulation of the electron number in the island of a doped SET, despite the high value for the charging energy and in a regime where photon assisted tunnelling is not observable. The method is applied to a device made of a SET with a capacitively coupled IDQD. Partial control of the qubit is obtained and results in the possibility of manipulating charge states in an isolated structure with GHz photons.","PeriodicalId":6402,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE Silicon Nanoelectronics Workshop (SNW)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77550551","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}

Actually, the high performance of InGaAs MOSFETs with high-k gate dielectrics has been demonstrated [1,2]. On the other hand, due to a quasi-ballistic behavior of electron transport, III-V channel MOSFETs may be more vulnerable by quantum mechanical effects such as quantum reflection and tunneling, as compared to conventional Si-MOSFETs. In this paper, we investigate quantum transport effects in III-V channel MOSFETs by using a Wigner Monte Carlo (WMC) simulation [3,4], which can fully incorporate the quantum transport effects. As a result, we found that the quantum reflection reduces on-current, while the source-drain (SD) direct tunneling increases subthreshold current even as the channel length is larger than 10 nm.","PeriodicalId":6402,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE Silicon Nanoelectronics Workshop (SNW)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90824273","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}

Since the doping concentration of p-type junctionless nanowire transistor does not as high as in n-type device due solid solubility of boron in silicon, it can be made by using midgap gate electrode material for appropriate threshold voltage. The p-type JLGAA transistor shows good on/off current ratio and better short channel characteristics compare to conventional inversion mode GAA structure. The sensitivity analyses show that the channel thickness affects the device performance such as threshold voltage (Vth), on current (Ion), and off current (Ioff) significantly. In contrast, the channel length and oxide thickness have less impact owing to well control of short channel effect.","PeriodicalId":6402,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE Silicon Nanoelectronics Workshop (SNW)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84701602","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}

This is owed to its remarkable material properties, which include ballistic conductance over several hundred nanometers or charge carrier mobilities of several 100.000 cm2/Vs in pristine graphene. Furthermore, standard CMOS technology may be applied to graphene in order to make devices. Integrated graphene devices, however, are performance limited by scattering due to defects in the graphene and its dielectric environment and high contact resistance. In addition, graphene has no energy band gap and hence graphene MOSFETs (GFETs) cannot be switched off, but instead show ambipolar behaviour. This has steered interest away from logic to analog radio frequency (RF) applications. This talk will systematically compare the expected RF performance of realistic GFETs with current silicon CMOS technology. GFETs slightly lag behind in maximum cut-off frequency FT,max up to a carrier mobility of 3000 cm2/Vs, where they can achieve similar RF performance as 65nm silicon FETs. While a strongly nonlinear voltage-dependent gate capacitance inherently limits performance, other parasitics such as contact resistance are expected to be optimized as GFET process technology improves.","PeriodicalId":6402,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE Silicon Nanoelectronics Workshop (SNW)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75881658","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}

It consists of a two step conversion of heat into electricity. The new technique can be used for powering ultra-low power electronics and autonomous systems. One of the keys to improve the generated power density is downscaling of individual devices. Laws modeling downscaling have been established in this paper and show that the miniaturization of the devices by a factor k increases the generated power density by the same factor, due to the increased speed of heat transfer. The scaling laws predict increasing power gain when miniaturizing the devices with use of e.g. VLSI technologies. This can help in providing a strong alternative to Seebeck devices.","PeriodicalId":6402,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE Silicon Nanoelectronics Workshop (SNW)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76978912","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}
