Twin Silicon Nanowire Field Effect Transistor(TSNWFET) EE235 Presentation By: Rhesa Nathanael
Nanowire FET • Motivation: • Superior gate control (minimizeshort channel effects). • High drive current. • Less sensitive to process variations. • Improved transport property. • Twin Silicon Nanowire FET demonstrated.
GAA-TSNWFET Fabrication • Fully CMOS compatible. • Highly reproducible top-down approach. 9

Size Dependence Study Why? Volume inversion dominant until dnw=4nm. Surface, phonon and back scattering dominant below dnw=4nm. Optimum point: dNW=4nm
Conclusion • High performance p-type and n-type Twin Silicon Nanowire MOSFETs (TSNWFETs) fabricated using conventional CMOS compatible process. • Transport property: • Single electron tunneling. • Conductance quantization. • Ballistic transport. • Optimum size: dNW=4nm • Volume inversion • Scattering Questions?
