Ambipolar silicon nanowire FETs with stenciled-deposited metal gate
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report on a fully CMOS compatible fabrication method for ambipolar silicon nanowire FinFETs. The low thermal budget processing, compatible with monolithic 3D device integration, makes use of low pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD) of amorphous Si (a-Si) and SiO2 layers as well as metal gate patterning using stencil lithography, demonstrated for the first time. FinFETs with stenciled Al gates are successfully co-fabricated with polycrystalline silicon X-gated devices. Stencil lithography is envisaged as a key enabler for gate patterning on 3D structures, such as vertically stacked nanowire transistors. 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Systematic study of contact annealing: Ambipolar silicon nanowire transistor with improved performance
High performance ambipolar silicon nanowire (SiNW) transistors were fabricated. SiNWs with uniform oxide sheath thicknesses of 6–7 nm were synthesized via a gas-flow-controlled thermal evaporation method. Field effect transistors (FETs) were fabricated using as-grown SiNWs. A two step annealing process was used to control contacts between SiNW and metal source and drain in order to enhance devi...
متن کاملAmbipolar, low-voltage and low-hysteresis PbSe nanowire field-effect transistors by electrolyte gating.
Semiconductor nanowire field-effect transistors (FETs) are interesting for fundamental studies of charge transport as well as possible applications in electronics. Here, we report low-voltage, low-hysteresis and ambipolar PbSe nanowire FETs using electrolyte-gating with ionic liquids and ion gels. We obtain balanced hole and electron mobilities at gate voltages below 1 V. Due to the large effec...

Nanosystems are large-scale integrated systems exploiting nanoelectronic devices. In this study, we consider double independent gate, vertically stacked nanowire field effect transistors (FETs) with gate-all-around structures and typical diameter of 20 nm. These devices, which we have successfully fabricated and evaluated, control the ambipolar behaviour of the nanostructure by selectively enab...
متن کاملLogic Synthesis for Ambipolar FETs
Double-Independent-Gate (DIG) Field Effect Transistors (FETs) are expected to extend Moore’s law in the coming years. Many emerging technologies present the possibility to have DIG FETs with one gate controlling online the device polarity. Such devices are called ambipolar transistors and efficiently embed the XOR function. Logic gates based on ambipolar transistors can implement more complex l...
متن کاملEffect of Nanowire-dielectric Interface on the Hysteresis of Solution Processed Silicon Nanowire FETs
Silicon nanowires (Si NW) are ideal candidates for low-cost solution processed field effect transistors (FETs) due to the ability of nanowires to be dispersed in solvents, and demonstrated high charge carrier mobility. The interface between the nanowire and the dielectric plays a crucial role in the FET characteristics, and can be responsible for unwanted effects such as current hysteresis duri...
