HamFET: A High-Performance Subthermionic Transistor Through Incorporating Hybrid Switching Mechanism

Field-effect transistors (FETs) switched by quantum band-to-band tunneling (BTBT) mechanism, rather than conventional thermionic emission mechanism, are emerging as an exciting device candidate for future ultralow-power electronics due to their exceptional electronic properties of subthermionic subthreshold swing. However, fundamental limitations in drive current have hindered such technology encountering for high-performance and high-speed operations, especially for […]

Source Design of Vertical III–V Nanowire Tunnel Field-Effect Transistors

We systematically fabricate devices and analyze data for vertical InAs/(In)GaAsSb nanowire tunnel field-effect transistors (TFETs), to study the influence of source dopant position and level on their device performance. The results show that delaying the introduction of dopants further in the GaAsSb source segments improved the transistor metrics (subthreshold swing (SS) and the on-current performance),

Impact of Technology Scaling and Back-End-of-the-Line Technology Solutions on Magnetic Random-Access Memories

While magnetic random-access memories (MRAMs) are promising because of their nonvolatility, relatively fast speeds, and high endurance, there are major challenges in adopting them for the advanced technology nodes. One of the major challenges in scaling MRAM devices is caused by the ever-increasing resistances of interconnects. In this article, we first study the impact of

Energy-Accuracy Trade-Offs for Resistive In-Memory Computing Architectures

Resistive in-memory computing (IMC) architectures currently lag behind SRAM IMCs and digital accelerators in both energy efficiency and compute density due to their low compute accuracy. This article proposes the use of signal-to-noise-plus-distortion ratio (SNDR) to quantify the compute accuracy of IMCs and identify the device, circuit, and architectural parameters that affect it. We further

Enhanced Carrier Injection Across S/D Contacts in Selenium-Based TMD FETs Using KI and Metal Induced Gap-States Engineering

Lack of transparent contacts has been a critical bottleneck for the two-dimensional Transition Metal Dichalcogenides (TMDs) Field Effect Transistors (FETs). In the absence of approaches to introduce physical doping without inducing crystal damage, charge transfer-based doping has been widely adopted. This manuscript presents a unique charge transfer doping technique using potassium iodide (KI) solution for
