Direct Integration of Metal Oxide Nanowire in Vertical Field-Effect Transistor

Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor (MOSFET)

The IGFET or MOSFET is a voltage controlled field effect transistor that differs from a JFET in that it has a “Metal Oxide” Gate electrode which is electrically insulated from the main semiconductor n-channel or p-channel by a very thin layer of insulating material usually silicon dioxide, commonly known as glass. This ultra thin insulated metal gate electrode can be thought of as one plate of ...

Fast 1 kV metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor switch

Effects of piezoelectric potential on the transport characteristics of metal-ZnO nanowire-metal field effect transistor.

We have investigated the effects of piezoelectric potential in a ZnO nanowire on the transport characteristics of the nanowire based field effect transistor through numerical calculations and experimental observations. Under different straining conditions including stretching, compressing, twisting, and their combination, a piezoelectric potential is created throughout the nanowire to modulatea...
