First-principles calculations of charge carrier mobility and conductivity in bulk semiconductors and two-dimensional materials

Samuel Poncé, Feliciano Giustino

One of the fundamental properties of semiconductors is their ability to support highly tunable electric currents in the presence of electric fields or carrier concentration gradients. These properties are described by transport coefficients such as electro ...

Transcapacitances in EPFL HEMT Model

Jean-Michel Sallese, Farzan Jazaeri

In this article, we present a closed-form solution for transcapacitances in GaN HEMTs derived from a design-oriented charge-based model of the AlGaAs/GaAs- and AlGaN/GaN-based HEMTs that were recently proposed. The analytical expressions are based on the c ...

Origin of Fermi-level pinning at GaAs/oxide interfaces through the hybrid functional study of defects

Davide Colleoni

Gallium arsenide is currently under scrutiny for replacing silicon in microelectronic devices due to its high carrier mobilities. However, the widespread use of this semiconductor is hampered by the intrinsic difficulty of producing high-quality interfaces ...

High-speed and low-noise AlInN/GaN HEMTs on SiC

Nicolas Grandjean, Jean-François Carlin, Eric Feltin

A comparison of devices with different source-drain gaps has been performed on AlInN/GaN high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) grown on SiC. The cut-off frequency is effectively improved through shrinking source drain space and reducing gate parasitic ...

Localized and delocalized Ti 3d carriers in LaAlO3/SrTiO3 superlattices revealed by resonant inelastic x-ray scattering

Joël Mesot, Thorsten Schmitt

The important source of interface conductivity in LaAlO3/SrTiO3 heterostructures, the Ti 3d carriers, is probed with resonant inelastic x-ray scattering at the Ti 2p(3/2) edge of epitaxially grown superlattices. We reveal unambiguously the generation of bo ...
