Abstract
Feedback field-effect transistors (FBFETs) have been studied to obtain near-zero subthreshold swings at 300 K with a high on/off current ratio ~1010. However, their structural complexity, such as an epitaxy process after an etch process for a Si channel with a thickness of several nanometers, has limited broader research. We demonstrated a FBFET using in-plane WSe2 p-n homojunction. The WSe2 FBFET exhibited a minimum subthreshold swing of 153 mV/dec with 30 nm gate dielectric. Our modeling-based projection indicates that the swing of this device can be reduced to 14 mV/dec with 1 nm EOT. Also, the gain of the inverter using the WSe2 FBFET can be improved by up to 1.53 times compared to a silicon CMOS inverter, and power consumption can be reduced by up to 11.9%.
期刊介绍:
Nanomaterials (ISSN 2076-4991) is an international and interdisciplinary scholarly open access journal. It publishes reviews, regular research papers, communications, and short notes that are relevant to any field of study that involves nanomaterials, with respect to their science and application. Thus, theoretical and experimental articles will be accepted, along with articles that deal with the synthesis and use of nanomaterials. Articles that synthesize information from multiple fields, and which place discoveries within a broader context, will be preferred. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical research in as much detail as possible. Full experimental or methodical details, or both, must be provided for research articles. Computed data or files regarding the full details of the experimental procedure, if unable to be published in a normal way, can be deposited as supplementary material. Nanomaterials is dedicated to a high scientific standard. All manuscripts undergo a rigorous reviewing process and decisions are based on the recommendations of independent reviewers.
