  abstract = {We report fabrication of single crystalline silicon nanowire based-three-dimensional MIS nano-capacitors for potential analog and mixed signal applications. The array of nanowires is patterned by Step and Flash Imprint Lithography (S-FIL). Deep silicon etching (DSE) is used to form the nanowires with high aspect ratio, increase the electrode area and thus significantly enhance the capacitance. High-! dielectric is deposited by highly conformal atomic layer deposition (ALD) Al2O3 over the Si nanowires, and sputtered metal TaN serves as the electrode. Electrical measurements of fabricated capacitors show the expected increase of capacitance with greater nanowire height and decreasing dielectric thickness, consistent with calculations. Leakage current and time-dependent dielectric breakdown (TDDB) are also measured and compared with planar MIS capacitors. In view of greater interest in 3D transistor architectures, such as FinFETs, 3D high density MIS capacitors offer an attractive device technology for analog and mixed signal applications.},

  abstract = {Mechanically flexible integrated circuits (ICs) have gained increasing attention in recent years with emerging markets in portable electronics. Although a number of thin-film-transistor (TFT) IC solutions have been reported, challenges still remain for the fabrication of inexpensive, high-performance flexible devices. We report a simple and straightforward solution: mechanically exfoliating a thin Si film containing ICs. Transistors and circuits can be prefabricated on bulk silicon wafer with the conventional complementary metal?oxide?semiconductor (CMOS) process flow without additional temperature or process limitations. The short channel MOSFETs exhibit similar electrical performance before and after exfoliation. This exfoliation process also provides a fast and economical approach to producing thinned silicon wafers, which is a key enabler for three-dimensional (3D) silicon integration based on Through Silicon Vias (TSVs).},

  abstract = {This article demonstrated monolayer graphene grown on annealed Cu (111) films on standard oxidized 100-mm Si wafers with higher quality than existing reports. Large area Raman mapping indicated high uniformity ({\textgreater}97\% coverage) of monolayer graphene with immeasurable defects ({\textgreater}95\% defect-negligible) across the entire wafer. Key to these results is the phase transition of evaporated copper films from amorphous to (111) preferred crystalline, which resulted in subsequent growth of high quality graphene, as corroborated by X-ray diffraction and electron backscatter diffraction. Noticeably, such phase transition of the copper film was observed on a technologically ubiquitous Si wafer with a standard amorphous thermal oxide. A modified two-step etching transfer process was introduced to preserve the clean surface and electrical property of transferred monolayer graphene. The fabricated graphene field effect transistor on a flexible polyimide film achieved peak mobility over 4900 cm2/(V s) at ambient condition.},

However, achieving both the goal of room temperature superfluidity and harnessing it for low-power switching pose substantial challenges, both theoretical and experimental.

  abstract = {Electronic devices have been explored in the past based on resonant single-electron CB (conduction band) to CB tunneling between parallel quasi-two dimensional (2D) quantum wells within III-V heterostructures and their accompanying negative differential resistance (NDR) [1]. Such devices are attractive for high speed electronics, and digital logic circuits also have been demonstrated using a combination of conventional and such NDR FETs [2]. For two graphene layers separated by a tunnel barrier, we recently proposed the ultra-low-voltage Bilayer pseudoSpin FET (BiSFET) which would employ enhanced nonresonant VB (valence band) to CB tunneling, with a nevertheless very sharp NDR characteristic based on a predicted room-temperature many-body superfluid state [3]. However, NDR due to resonant single-particle CB-to-CB or VB-to-VB tunneling may also be achievable in such a structure. Furthermore, the atomically near-perfect 2D nature of the component graphene layers and the conduction/valence band symmetry may offer advantages over III-Vs. Here, we model the I-V characteristics due to single-particle tunneling in such a structure, Fig. 1, using a perturbative tunneling Hamiltonian approach [4,5], and deviations from this simple theory using atomistic tight-binding nonequilibrium Green's function (NEGF) simulation.},

Moreover, the carrier mobility shows a stronger temperature dependence in Ge?SixGe1?x core?shell NWs with high Si content, indicating a reduced charge impurity scattering.

Significant charge transfer is seen between the graphene layer and the oxide in the latter cases. Additionally, we review the work of others regarding the effect of various substrates on the electronic properties of graphene.

  abstract = {Three-dimensional (3-D) topological insulators (TIs) are characterized by the presence of metallic surface states and a bulk band gap. Recently, theoretical and experimental studies have shown an induced gap in the surface state bands of TI thin films. The gap results from interaction of conduction band and valence band surface states from the opposite surfaces of a thin film, and its size is determined by the film thickness. This gap formation could open the possibility of thin-film TI-based metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs). Here we explore the performance of MOSFETs based on TI thin films, specifically Bi2Se3, using quantum ballistic transport simulations with the tight-binding Hamiltonian in the atomic orbital basis. Our simulations indicate that Bi2Se3 MOSFET will be vulnerable to short-channel effects due to the high relative dielectric constant of Bi2Se3 (∼100) despite its expected excellent electrostatic integrity inherent in a two-dimensional system, and will have other limitations as compared to silicon–based MOSFETs. However, Bi2Se3 MOSFETs, and presumably other TI-based MOSFETs, appear to provide reasonable performance that perhaps could provide novel device opportunities when combined with novel TI properties such as spin-polarized surface states.},

  abstract = {A bi-layer pseudo-spin field-effect transistor (BiSFET) is disclosed. The BiSFET includes a first and second conduction layers separated by a tunnel dielectric. The BiSFET transistor also includes a first gate separated from the first conduction layer by an insulating dielectric layer, and a second gate separated from the second conduction layer by an insulating layer. These conduction layers may be composed of graphene. The voltages applied to the first and/or second gates can control the peak current and associated voltage value for current flow between top and bottom conduction channels, and interlayer current voltage characteristic exhibiting negative differential resistance. BiSFETs may be used to make a variety of logic gates. A clocked power supply scheme may be used to facilitate BiSFET-based logic.},
