  1. 21. Atomic Scale Characterization of III-V Nanowire Surfaces

    Author : Johan Knutsson; NanoLund: Centre for Nanoscience; []
    Keywords : III–V semiconductor materials; nanowire; surface; scanning tunneling microscopy; wurtzite; zinc blende; scanning tunneling spectroscopy; Fysicumarkivet A:2017:Knutsson;

    Abstract : This dissertation focus on the atomic-scale characterization of the surface properties and electronic structure of III–V semiconductor nanowires (NWs). Since the early 2000s, the fabrication and characterization of III–V NWs has been a very significant topic within material science due to their potential for applications in lighting, energy harvesting, and electronics.

  2. 22. Nanoelectronic Devices Based on Low-Dimensional Semiconductor Structures

    Author : Daniel Wallin; Fasta tillståndets fysik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; InGaAs InP; GaAs AlGaAs; ballistic transport; quantum transport; low-dimensional structures; two-dimensional electron gas; quantum dot; three terminal ballistic junction; nanowire;

    Abstract : The present thesis reports on results from the fabrication technology development and the corresponding electrical transport measurements of low-dimensional semiconductor structures. The focus of the work has been directed towards two parts: the ballistic transport in nanostructure devices at room temperature, and the development of a charge-sensing technique for quantum dots (QD) in nanowires.

  3. 23. Silicon Nanowire Field-Effect Devices as Low-Noise Sensors

    Author : Xi Chen; Zhen Zhang; Shi-Li Zhang; Si Chen; Fengnian Xia; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Silicon nanowire; field-effect transistor; Schottky junction gate; low frequency noise; ion sensor; Teknisk fysik med inriktning mot elektronik; Engineering Science with specialization in Electronics;

    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

  4. 24. Nanowire Transistors and RF Circuits for Low-Power Applications

    Author : Karl-Magnus Persson; Institutionen för elektro- och informationsteknik; []
    Keywords : InAs; Nanowire; Metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor; MOSFET; RF; Mixer; Circuit; 1 f-noise; Simulation; Modelling;

    Abstract : The background of this thesis is related to the steadily increasing demand of higher bandwidth and lower power consumption for transmitting data. The work aims at demonstrating how new types of structures, at the nanoscale, combined with what is referred to as exotic materials, can help benefit in electronics by lowering the consumed power, possibly by an order of magnitude, compared to the industry standard, silicon (Si), used today.

  5. 25. Vertical III-V/High-k Nanowire MOS Capacitors and Transistors

    Author : Jun Wu; Institutionen för elektro- och informationsteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Nanowire; MOSFET; MOS capacitor; C-V; XPS; MOVPE; InGaAs; InAs; High-k; RF; Track-and-hold circuit;

    Abstract : The emerging nanowire technology in recent years has attracted an increasing interest for high-speed, low-power electronics due to the possibility of a gate-all-around (GAA) geometry enabling aggressive gate length scaling, together with the ease in incorporating high-mobility narrow band gap III-V semiconductors such as InAs on Si substrates. These benefits make vertical nanowire transistors an attractive alternative to the planar devices. READ MORE
