报告摘要 Abstract
Semiconductor Nanowires Heterostructures for High Performance Nanoelectronic Devices
Semiconductor nanowires have been demonstrated as building blocks for nanoelectronics, nanophotonics and bio/chem sensors. Of particular interest are heterostructures, either axial or radial (core-shell or core-multishell), in which functionalities can be encoded during chemical synthesis stage. Here, we demonstrate a high mobility one-dimensional electron gas systems based on InAs/InP nanowire heterostructures and their applications in complementary metaloxide-semiconductor (CMOS) nanoelectronic circuits. We obtained the highest electron mobility and largest scaled ON-current in those field effect transistors (FETs), which represents a significant improvement over other 1D nanostructures (including carbon nanotubes) and planar metal-oxide-semiconductor FETs. Using a contact printing technique and combined with hole gas Ge/Si core-shell heterostructures, 3-dimensional (3D) integrated multi-layer nanowire CMOS circuits have been achieved, which exhibit increased circuit complexity, low static power consumption and faster device switching speed. As an example, CMOS ring oscillator constructed with three CMOS inverter logic gates showed oscillation frequency of 108 MHz, which is the highest switching speed reported up to date utilizing nanomaterials.
In the end of the talk, Dr. Qihua Xiong will briefly introduce his current research in NTU, and the research strength in NTU physics and applied physics.
