Wrap-gated InAs nanowire field-effect transistor
(2005) International Electron Devices Meeting 2005 p.273-276- Abstract
- Field-effect transistors (FETs) based on semiconductor nanowires (Bryllert et al., 2005) have the potential to improve certain aspects of existing planar FET technologies. The possibility to form wrap-gates gives an efficient gate coupling resulting in reduced drain-induced barrier lowering. Furthermore, lateral strain relaxation allows a new freedom in combining materials in heterostructures, where materials with different lattice constants can be combined without defects (Bjork et al., 2002). Since the transistor channel, unlike the planar FETs, is vertical, heterostructures may be used to tailor the bandstructure along the direction of current flow. In this paper, we demonstrate a new technology to fabricate vertical nanowire FETs in a... (More)

In this paper, we demonstrate a new technology to fabricate vertical nanowire FETs in a process that almost exclusively relies on optical lithography and standard III-V processing techniques. We measure encouraging electrical data, including current saturation at V<sub>ds</sub> ≡ 0.15 V (for V<sub>g</sub> ≡ 0 V) and low voltage operation V<sub>th</sub> ≡ -0.15 V, and present opportunities to improve the device performance by heterostructure design (Less)
