In this work, a model for the surrounding-gate (SG) nMOSFET is developed. The SchrSdinger equation is solved analytically. Some of the solutions are verified via results obtained from simulations. It is found that the percentage of the electrons with lighter conductivity mass increases as the silicon body radius decreases, or as the gate voltage reduces, or as the temperature decreases. The eentroid of inversion-layer is driven away from the silicon-oxide interface towards the silicon body, therefore the carriers will suffer less scattering from the interface and the electrons effective mobility of the SG nMOSFETs will be enhanced.展开更多

The frequency characteristic equivalent circuit and high frequency response model of BJMOSFET have been presented. The frequency characteristic of BJMOSFET is simulated using the multi-transient analytical method and PSPICE9 simulator. The conclusions that BJMOSFET owns less total capacitance, wider frequency band, better transient charac-teristic and better frequency responses are reached by comparing with the traditional MOSFET at the same structure parameters and bias conditions. BJMOSFET, as a novel promising high frequency device, would be desired to find application in future integrated circuit.展开更多

The engineers are challenged every year to increase power density and at the same time reduce the amount of power dissipated in the applications to keep the maximum temperatures under specifications. This situation drives a constant demand for better efficiencies in smaller packages. Traditional approaches to improve efficiency in DC/DC synchronous buck converters include reducing conduction losses in the MOSFETs (metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors) through lower RDS (ON) (resistance drain to source in the ON state) devices and lowering switching losses through low-frequency operation. However, the incremental improvements in RDS (ON) are at a point of diminishing returns and low RDS (ON) devices have large parasitic capacitances that do not facilitate the high-frequency operation required to improve power density. The drive for higher efficiency and increased power in smaller packages is being addressed by advancements in both silicon and packaging technologies. The NexFET power block combines these two technologies to achieve higher levels of performance, and in half the space versus discrete MOSFETs. This article explains these new technologies and highlights their performance advantage.展开更多

Controlling the thickness and doping of 2 D TMDCs are crucial toward their future applications. Here, we report an effective HAu Cl4 treatment method and achieve simultaneous thinning and doping of various TMDCs in one step. We find that the HAu Cl4 treatment not only thins thick Mo S2 flakes into few layers or even monolayers, but also simultaneously tunes Mo S2 into p-type. The effects of various parameters in the process have been studied systematically,and an Au intercalation assisted thinning and doping mechanism is proposed. Importantly, this method also works for other typical TMDCs, including WS2, Mo Se2 and WSe2,showing good universality. Electrical transport measurements of field-effect transistors(FETs) based on Mo S2 flakes show a big increase of On/Off current ratios(from 102 to 107) after the HAu Cl4 treatment. Meanwhile, the subthreshold voltages of the Mo S2 FETs shift from-60 to +27 V after the HAu Cl4 treatment, with a p-type doping behavior. This study provides an effective and simple method to control the thickness and doping properties of 2 D TMDCs, paving a way for their applications in high performance electronics and optoelectronics.展开更多

The dielectric film has per unit area capacitance of 165 nF/cm2 and leakage current of 1 nA/cm2 at 1 MV/cm. The devices and circuits use the small-molecule hydrocarbon pentacene as the active semiconductor material. Transistors,inverters,and ring oscillators with operating voltage lower than 5 V were obtained. The mobility of organic field-effect transistors was extracted to be 0.16 cm2/Vs in saturation range,the threshold voltage is 0.3 V,and the on/off current ratio is larger than 105. The gain of inverters is estimated to be 12 at -5 V supply voltage,and the propagation delay is 0.25 ms per stage in 5-stage ring oscillators.展开更多
