Operation regimes and electrical transport of steep slope Schottky Si-FinFETS

Giovanni De Micheli, Pierre-Emmanuel Julien Marc Gaillardon, Jian Zhang

In the quest for energy efficient circuits, considerable focus has been given to steep slope and polarity-controllable devices, targeting low supply voltages and reduction of transistor count. The recently proposed concept of the three-independent gated Si ...

Low p-type contact resistance by field-emission tunneling in highly Mg-doped GaN

Nicolas Grandjean, Denis Martin

Mg-doped GaN with a net acceptor concentration (NA-ND) in the high 10 19 cm(-3) range was grown using ammonia molecular-beam epitaxy. Electrical properties of NiO contact on this heavily doped p-type GaN were investigated. A potential-barrier height of 0.2 ...

Polarity control in WSe2 double-gate transistors

Giovanni De Micheli, Pierre-Emmanuel Julien Marc Gaillardon, Giovanni Vincenzo Resta

As scaling of conventional silicon-based electronics is reaching its ultimate limit, considerable effort has been devoted to find new materials and new device concepts that could ultimately outperform standard silicon transistors. In this perspective two-d ...

III-V Nanowire Hetero-junction Tunnel FETs integrated on Si

Davide Cutaia

In the last decade the power consumption of electronic devices has increased for both static and active components. Following the Dennard's scaling rule, as long as the transistor sizes are reduced then the supply voltage (VDD) can also be scaled in order ...

An Indium-Free Anode for Large-Area Flexible OLEDs: Defect-Free Transparent Conductive Zinc Tin Oxide

Christophe Ballif, Aïcha Hessler-Wyser, Quentin Thomas Jeangros, Monica Morales Masis, Ali Dabirian, Fabien Paul Jacques Dauzou

Flexible large-area organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) require highly conductive and transparent anodes for efficient and uniform light emission. Tin-doped indium oxide (ITO) is the standard anode in industry. However, due to the scarcity of indium, alt ...

Design and implementation of a fs-Transmission Electron Microscope for time-resolved studies of strongly correlated systems and nanostructures

Luca Piazza

The integration of ultrafast laser systems with transmission electron microscopes led to the extension of conventional electron microscopy (PINEM) to the 4th dimension, time, and new techniques as photon-induced near-field electron microscopy became availa ...

A nanoscale gigahertz source realized with Josephson scanning tunneling microscopy

Klaus Kern, Matthias Alexander Eltschka

Using the AC Josephson effect in the superconductor-vacuum-superconductor tunnel junction of a scanning tunneling microscope (STM), we demonstrate the generation of GHz radiation. With the macroscopic STM tip acting as a lambda/4-monopole antenna, we first ...
