Graphene Nanoribbons (GNR) are been being investigated as they possess a bandgap in contrast to graphene sheets which have zero bandgap [1, 2]. Therefore, GNR might be more suitable as a channel material in field-effect transistors (FETs) which requires a high on/off ratio. The other electrical properties of GNR FETs apart from on/off ratio, however, are not as good as those of corresponding graphene sheet FETs. Most GNR FETs have a larger hysteresis, a lower mobility and a larger Dirac voltage than those of graphene sheet FETs. The critical factor that results in degraded performance of GNR FET is edge defects, since GNR due to their geometry have a larger number of edges per active channel width. Moreover, edges of patterned GNR from chemical vapor deposition (CVD) grown graphene do not have a perfect chirality and inevitably have more broken bonds. Thus defect passivation or amelioration assumes considerable importance if the excellent potential of GNR as a semiconducting material is to be realized. In this abstract we report the effect of polar vapors on the electrical characteristics of GNR FET, which is fabricated via patterning from CVD grown graphene monolayer sheet. Our goal is to use these as model studies in designing suitable cap layers that both protect the nanoribbons from the ambient and favorably influence, to a considerable degree, their electrical properties.
石墨烯纳米带(GNR)一直被研究,因为它们具有带隙,而石墨烯片具有零带隙[1,2]。因此,GNR可能更适合作为需要高开/关比的场效应晶体管(fet)的沟道材料。然而,GNR场效应管除通断比外的其他电学性能不如相应的石墨烯片场效应管。与石墨烯片场效应管相比,大多数GNR场效应管具有较大的磁滞、较低的迁移率和较大的狄拉克电压。导致GNR场效应管性能下降的关键因素是边缘缺陷,因为GNR由于其几何形状而具有每个有源通道宽度的更多边缘。此外,化学气相沉积(CVD)生长的石墨烯的图图化GNR的边缘不具有完美的手性,不可避免地会有更多的断键。因此,如果要实现GNR作为半导体材料的优异潜力,则缺陷钝化或改善具有相当重要的意义。本文报道了极性蒸汽对CVD生长的石墨烯单层片制备的GNR场效应管电学特性的影响。我们的目标是利用这些模型研究设计合适的帽层,既保护纳米带免受环境影响,又在相当程度上对其电性能产生有利影响。

Tin Diselenide (SnSe2) is a two-dimensional layered crystal commonly found in octahedral coordination (1T phase). It has been reported to have a high electron affinity of around 5.1 eV and a bandgap of 1 eV [1-2], which can form staggered band alignment with tungsten diselenide (WSe2) in Thin-TFETs [3]. However, its lack of gate modulation remains a mystery [4]. In this work, we investigate the Fermi level tunability of SnSe2 by counter doping using a polymer electrolyte, PEO:CsClO4. This counter doping technique increases the on/off ratio of SnSe2 field effect transistor (FET) from 2 times to 50 times, a record high value. Meanwhile, a device model of SnSe2 FET with ion doping and subgap density of states (DOS) has been proposed to fit the experimental data. The extracted effective number of acceptor-like subgap states is as high as 4.16 × 1019 cm-3 (in comparison with near 5 × 1017 cm-3 extracted for amorphous thin-film transistors [5]). This can explain the weak Fermi level tunability of SnSe2 and direct future material development towards TFETs.
二硒化锡(SnSe2)是一种二维层状晶体,常见于八面体配位(1T相)中。据报道,它具有5.1 eV左右的高电子亲和力和1 eV的带隙[1-2],可以在thin - tfet中与二硒化钨(WSe2)形成交错带取向[3]。然而,它缺乏门调制仍然是一个谜[4]。在这项工作中,我们通过使用聚合物电解质PEO:CsClO4反掺杂来研究SnSe2的费米能级可调性。这种反掺杂技术将SnSe2场效应晶体管(FET)的通/关比从2倍提高到50倍,创历史新高。同时,为了拟合实验数据,提出了离子掺杂和子隙态密度(DOS)的SnSe2场效应管器件模型。提取的类受体子隙态有效数量高达4.16 × 1019 cm-3(非晶薄膜晶体管提取的有效数量接近5 × 1017 cm-3[5])。这可以解释SnSe2的弱费米能级可调性,并指导未来材料发展到tfet。

In this talk, we report on GeTe RF switches on silicon substrate with state-of-the-art switch figure-of-merit of ~14 femtosecond or 11 THz, ~20x greater than all of current FET switches. This was accomplished using an embedded refractory micro-heater with reduced parasitics. The spectral responses of the GeTe-based RF switches were tested for the first time under W-CDMA signals. With a 15 dBm interferer, we did not see spectral regrowth of the switches. Under single tone, the harmonic powers were at 90 dBc at 35 dBm with GeTe width of 150 μm. While at a very early development stage, we report that GeTe PCM RF switches are a promising technology upon improved reliability for future wireless RF front-ends.
在这次演讲中,我们报告了硅衬底上的GeTe射频开关,其最先进的开关性能系数为~14飞秒或11太赫兹,比目前所有的FET开关高~20倍。这是通过减少寄生的嵌入式耐火微加热器实现的。首次对基于gete的射频开关在W-CDMA信号下的频谱响应进行了测试。在15dbm的干扰下,我们没有看到开关的频谱再生。单音条件下,35 dBm处的谐波功率为90 dBc, GeTe宽度为150 μm。虽然在非常早期的发展阶段,我们报告说,GeTe PCM射频开关是一项有前途的技术,可提高未来无线射频前端的可靠性。

High-precision individual cell tuning was experimentally demonstrated, for the first time, in analog integrated circuits redesigned from a commercial NOR flash memory. The tuning is fully automatic, and relies on a write-verify algorithm, with the optimal amplitude of each write pulse determined from runtime measurements, using a compact model of cell's dynamics, fitted to experimental results. The algorithm has allowed tuning of each cell of a 100-cell array to any desired state within a 4-orders-of-magnitude dynamic range. With 10 write pulses, the average tuning accuracy is about 3%, while with 35 pulses the precision reaches ~0.3%. Taking into account the dynamic range, the last number is equivalent to ~1,500 levels, i.e. 10+ bits.
高精度单个单元调谐首次在从商用NOR闪存重新设计的模拟集成电路中得到实验证明。调整是完全自动的,并依赖于写入验证算法,每个写入脉冲的最佳幅度由运行时测量确定,使用细胞动力学的紧凑模型,与实验结果相匹配。该算法允许在4个数量级的动态范围内将100个单元数组中的每个单元调整到任何所需的状态。当写入脉冲数为10时,平均调谐精度约为3%,而当写入脉冲数为35时,平均调谐精度可达~0.3%。考虑到动态范围,最后一个数字相当于~ 1500个电平,即10+位。

High sensitivity deep ultraviolet (DUV) photodetectors operating at wavelengths shorter than 280 nm are useful for various applications, including chemical and biological identification, optical wireless communications, and UV sensing systems (1). While semiconductor avalanche photodiodes (APDs) can be more compact, lower cost and more rugged than the commonly used photomultiplier tubes (PMTs), commercially available devices such as silicon (Si) single photon counting APDs have poor DUV single photon detection efficiency. In contrast, silicon carbide (SiC) APDs are ideal for high-sensitivity detection applications, as they can possess very low dark currents, small k factor, and high gain (2). However, the responsivity of these devices diminishes at wavelengths shorter than 260 nm due to increasing absorption and carrier generation in the top doped layer of this device, the short diffusion length of minority carriers in this region, and the presence of a high density of surface states.

Future high-performance low-power integrated circuits require compact logic devices with both steep subthreshold swing (SS) and large drive current (ION). Tunneling field-effect transistors (TFETs) can meet the first requirement but their ION is severely limited either by the low source-channel tunneling probability or by the high source-to-drain tunneling leakage. One of the methods that can be employed to boost ION is doping engineering. In particular (1)lowering the drain doping density elongates the drain depletion region and thus suppresses the leakage leading to improved SS (and ION). This scheme, however, is not scalable as a long drain length is needed to reach charge neutrality; (2) embedding an opposite N+ doping layer next to the P+ source, i.e., the source-pocket (SP) design, or inserting a δ doping layer, can enhance the electric field at the source-channel tunnel junction and improve ION. It can be shown that the improvement increases as the pocket doping density (Np) increases, but in practice doping density has an upper limit. In this paper, we show that, (1) embedding a P+ drain pocket can also improve the SS (and ION) and it is more scalable than lowering the drain doping; (2) by resorting to P+ channel, we can further improve ION of the SP design without having to increase Np.
未来的高性能低功耗集成电路需要紧凑的逻辑器件,同时具有陡的亚阈值摆幅(SS)和大的驱动电流(ION)。隧道场效应晶体管(tfet)可以满足第一个要求,但其离子受到源极隧穿概率低或源极隧穿漏高的严重限制。其中一种可以用来增强离子的方法是掺杂工程。特别是(1)降低漏极掺杂密度延长了漏极耗尽区,从而抑制了泄漏,从而改善了SS(和ION)。然而,这种方案是不可扩展的,因为需要很长的漏极长度才能达到电荷中性;(2)在P+源旁嵌入相对的N+掺杂层,即源袋(SP)设计,或插入δ掺杂层,可以增强源-通道隧道结处的电场,提高离子强度。可以看出,随着口袋掺杂密度(Np)的增加,改善程度也会增加,但实际上掺杂密度是有上限的。在本文中,我们证明,(1)嵌入P+漏极袋也可以提高SS(和ION),并且比降低漏极掺杂更具可扩展性;(2)通过P+通道,我们可以在不增加Np的情况下进一步提高SP设计的ION。

Summary form only given. It has been half a century since the photons have been portended to supplant electrons in information transmission, storage, and processing. While spectacular successes have been achieved in optical communications and these advances are slowly working their way into the chip-scale optical interconnects, optical memories have not displaced magnetic storage and are now losing ground to the all-electronic flash memories, and, in information processing the competitive all-optical switching schemes have never materialized. The fundamental reason for these facts is crystal clear - unlike electrons, photons are bosons that do not have charge and are not subjected to Pauli principle, and hence they are ideally suited for the unhindered propagation over spectacular distances while requiring quite an effort in order to be switched. We confirm this intuitive understanding by comparing switching powers, speeds and noise of electronic and photonic devices, such as modulators, all optical switches and buffers. At the same time we show that in terms of loss and bandwidth photons are unmatchable for information transmission even over the shortest of distances and cannot be replaced by any known entity, including currently popular plasmons. With electrons and photons having their clearly defined niches the main challenge lays in developing means for seamless connectivity between electronics and photonics.
只提供摘要形式。半个世纪前,光子被预言将在信息传输、存储和处理中取代电子。虽然在光通信方面取得了巨大的成功,并且这些进步正在慢慢地向芯片级光互连的方向发展,但光存储器并没有取代磁存储器,而且现在正在输给全电子闪存,而且,在信息处理方面,竞争性的全光交换方案从未实现。这些事实的根本原因非常清楚——与电子不同,光子是不带电荷的玻色子,也不受泡利原理的约束,因此它们非常适合不受阻碍地传播很远的距离,而需要相当大的努力才能切换。我们通过比较电子和光子器件(如调制器、所有光开关和缓冲器)的开关功率、速度和噪声来证实这种直观的理解。与此同时,我们表明,即使在最短的距离上,光子的损耗和带宽对于信息传输也是无法比拟的,并且不能被任何已知的实体所取代,包括目前流行的等离子体。由于电子和光子都有明确的定位,主要的挑战在于开发电子和光子之间无缝连接的方法。

Introducing the spiked p-n junction for tunnel devices and current gain 介绍了隧道器件的尖刺pn结和电流增益

By serendipity, a novel feature has appeared in regrown GaN p-n junctions. When the device is exposed to atmosphere in between the growth of the n and p regions, a sheet layer of donors (primarily oxygen) incorporates at the junction interface [1,2]. This has been argued to decrease the depletion width, which boosts tunneling currents to acceptable levels for contacts to GaN LEDs [1]. While this is useful in its own right, a general analysis of the electrostatics of a sheet charge in a p-n junction yields another interesting regime not yet reported. Given sufficiently large interface charge, the n-side may enter accumulation, forcing a “spike” into an otherwise typical homojunction p-n band diagram. Such spikes may prove relevant for the design of tunnel junctions, or for homojunction gain elements (similar to the delta-doped BJTs of [3]).
机缘巧合的是,再生的GaN p-n结中出现了一个新的特征。当器件暴露在n区和p区生长之间的大气中时,在结界面处合并了一层供体(主要是氧气)[1,2]。有人认为这可以减少耗尽宽度,从而将隧道电流提升到GaN led接触的可接受水平[1]。虽然这本身是有用的,但对p-n结中片状电荷的静电的一般分析产生了另一个有趣的尚未报道的制度。给定足够大的界面电荷,n侧可能进入积累,迫使“尖峰”进入典型的同结p-n带图。这样的尖峰可能与隧道结的设计或同结增益元件(类似于[3]的δ掺杂bjt)有关。
