1. Novel concepts for advanced CMOS : Materials, process and device architecture
Abstract : The continuous and aggressive dimensional miniaturization ofthe conventional complementary-metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS)architecture has been the main impetus for the vast growth ofIC industry over the past decades. As the CMOS downscalingapproaches the fundamental limits, unconventional materials andnovel device architectures are required in order to guaranteethe ultimate scaling in device dimensions and maintain theperformance gain expected from the scaling.

2. Low-frequency noise characterization, evaluation and modeling of advanced Si- and SiGe-based CMOS transistors
Abstract : A wide variety of novel complementary-metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) devices that are strong contenders for future high-speed and low-noise RF circuits have been evaluated by means of static electrical measurements and low-frequency noise characterizations in this thesis. These novel field-effect transistors (FETs) include (i) compressively strained SiGe channel pMOSFETs, (ii) tensile strained Si nMOSFETs, (iii) MOSFETs with high-k gate dielectrics, (iv) metal gate and (v) silicon-on-insulator (SOI) devices.

3. Resonant Tunneling in Laterally Confined Quantum Structures
Abstract : In the thesis, three-dimensionally confined resonant tunneling structures were studied experimentally. Two approaches were used for obtaining quantum confinement: gate-defined lateral constriction of double barrier structures, and epitaxial growth of self-assembled quantum dots. READ MORE

4. Silicon Nanowire Field-Effect Devices as Low-Noise Sensors
Abstract : In the past decades, silicon nanowire field-effect transistors (SiNWFETs) have been explored for label-free, highly sensitive, and real-time detections of chemical and biological species. The SiNWFETs are anticipated for sensing analyte at ultralow concentrations, even at single-molecule level, owing to their significantly improved charge sensitivity over large-area FETs. READ MORE

5. Design and Fabrication of Silicon Carbide RF MOSFET for L- and S-band applications
Abstract : This thesis describes realisation of 4H-SiC radio-frequency metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistors (RF MOSFETs). Such transistors are in principle very attractive devices for high power and high frequency electronics. They are intended as a direct replacement for their silicon counterparts, offering higher power. READ MORE
