The transport properties of a \(\hbox {Zn}_{2}\hbox {SnO}_{4}\) device along with adsorption properties of \(\hbox {NO}_{2}\) gas molecules on \(\hbox {Zn}_{2}\hbox {SnO}_{4}\) (ZTO) molecular devices are investigated with density functional theory using the non-equilibrium Green’s function technique. The transmission spectrum and device density of states spectrum confirm the changes in HOMO–LUMO energy level due to transfer of electrons between the ZTO-based material and the \(\hbox {NO}_{2}\) molecules. I–V characteristics demonstrate the variation in the current upon adsorption of \(\hbox {NO}_{2}\) gas molecules on the ZTO device. The findings of the present study clearly suggest that ZTO molecular devices can be used to detect \(\hbox {NO}_{2}\) gas molecules in the trace level. 相似文献

Gallium nitride (GaN) based vertical high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) is very crucial for high power applications. Combination of advantageous material properties of GaN for high speed applications and novel vertical structure makes this device very beneficial for high power application. To improve the device performance especially in high drain bias condition, a novel GaN based vertical HEMT with silicon dioxide \((\hbox {SiO}_{2})\) current blocking layer (CBL) was reported recently. In this paper, effects of the thickness of CBL layer and the aperture length on the electrical and breakdown characteristics of GaN vertical HEMTs with \(\hbox {SiO}_{2}\) CBL are simulated by using two-dimensional quantum-mechanically corrected device simulation. Intensive numerical study on the device enables us to optimize and conclude that devices with \(0.5\hbox {-}\upmu \hbox {m}\)-thick \(\hbox {SiO}_{2}\) layer and \(1\hbox {-}\upmu \hbox {m}\)-long aperture will be beneficial considerations to improve the device performance. Notably, using the multiple apertures can effectively reduce the on-state conducting resistance of the device. On increasing the number of apertures, the drain current is increased but the breakdown voltage is decreased. Therefore, device with four apertures is taken as an optimized result. The maximum drain current of 84 mA at \(\hbox {V}_\mathrm{G}= 1\,\hbox {V}\) and \(\hbox {V}_\mathrm{D}= 30\,\hbox {V}\), and the breakdown voltage of 480 V have been achieved for the optimized device. 相似文献

In this paper, we have proposed a device and named it dual electrode doping-less TFET (DEDLTFET), in which electrodes on top and bottom of source and drain are considered to enhance the ON state current and Analog performances. The charge plasma technique is used to generate electron’s and hole’s clouding depending upon their respective work functions at top and bottom of source/drain electrode. Band-to-band-tunneling rate is similar on both sides of source-channel junctions, which increases ON state current. The analog performance parameters of DEDLTFET are investigated and using device simulation the demonstrated characteristics are compared with doping-less (DLTFET) and the conventional doped double gate TFET (DGTFET), such as transconductance \((\hbox {g}_\mathrm{m})\), transconductance to drain current ratio \((\hbox {g}_\mathrm{m}/\hbox {I}_\mathrm{D})\), output-conductance (g\(_{d})\), output resistance \((\hbox {r}_\mathrm{d})\), early voltage \((\hbox {V}_\mathrm{EA})\), intrinsic gain \((\hbox {A}_\mathrm{V})\), total gate capacitance \((\hbox {C}_\mathrm{gg})\) and unity gain frequency \((\hbox {f}_\mathrm{T})\). From the simulation results, it is observed that DEDLTFET has significantly improved analog performance as compared to DGTFET and DLTFET. 相似文献

Numerical analysis of the transmission coefficient, local density of states, and density of states in superlattice nanostructures of cubic \(\hbox {Al}_{x}\hbox {Ga}_{1-x}\hbox {N/GaN}\) resonant tunneling modulation-doped field-effect transistors (MODFETs) using \(\hbox {next}{} \mathbf{nano}^{3}\) software and the contact block reduction method is presented. This method is a variant of non-equilibrium Green’s function formalism, which has been integrated into the \(\hbox {next}\mathbf{nano}^{3}\) software package. Using this formalism in order to model any quantum devices and estimate their charge profiles by computing transmission coefficient, local density of states (LDOS) and density of states (DOS). This formalism can also be used to describe the quantum transport limit in ballistic devices very efficiently. In particular, we investigated the influences of the aluminum mole fraction and the thickness and width of the cubic \(\hbox {Al}_{x}\hbox {Ga}_{1-x}\hbox {N}\) on the transmission coefficient. The results of this work show that, for narrow width of 5 nm and low Al mole fraction of \(x = 20\,\%\) of barrier layers, cubic \(\hbox {Al}_{x}\hbox {Ga}_{1-x}\hbox {N/GaN}\) superlattice nanostructures with very high density of states of 407 \(\hbox {eV}^{-1}\) at the resonance energy are preferred to achieve the maximum transmission coefficient. We also calculated the local density of states of superlattice nanostructures of cubic \(\hbox {Al}_{x}\hbox {Ga}_{1-x}\hbox {N/GaN}\) to resolve the apparent contradiction between the structure and manufacturability of new-generation resonant tunneling MODFET devices for terahertz and high-power applications. 相似文献

Advances in electronics have revolutionized the way people work, play and communicate with each other. Historically, these advances were mainly driven by CMOS transistor scaling following Moore’s law, where new generations of devices are smaller, faster, and cheaper, leading to more powerful circuits and systems. However, conventional scaling is now facing major technical challenges and fundamental limits. New materials, devices, and architectures are being aggressively pursued to meet present and future computing needs, where tight integration of memory and logic, and parallel processing are highly desired. To this end, one class of emerging devices, termed memristors or memristive devices, have attracted broad interest as a promising candidate for future memory and computing applications. Besides tremendous appeal in data storage applications, memristors offer the potential to enable efficient hardware realization of neuromorphic and analog computing architectures that differ radically from conventional von Neumann computing architectures. In this review, we analyze representative memristor devices and their applications including mixed signal analog-digital neuromorphic computing architectures, and highlight the potential and challenges of applying such devices and architectures in different computing applications. 相似文献

The semiconductor industry is currently challenged by the emergence of Internet of Things, Big data, and deep-learning techniques to enable object recognition and inference in portable computers. These revolutions demand new technologies for memory and computation going beyond the standard CMOS-based platform. In this scenario, resistive switching memory (RRAM) is extremely promising in the frame of storage technology, memory devices, and in-memory computing circuits, such as memristive logic or neuromorphic machines. To serve as enabling technology for these new fields, however, there is still a lack of industrial tools to predict the device behavior under certain operation schemes and to allow for optimization of the device properties based on materials and stack engineering. This work provides an overview of modeling approaches for RRAM simulation, at the level of technology computer aided design and high-level compact models for circuit simulations. Finite element method modeling, kinetic Monte Carlo models, and physics-based analytical models will be reviewed. The adaptation of modeling schemes to various RRAM concepts, such as filamentary switching and interface switching, will be discussed. Finally, application cases of compact modeling to simulate simple RRAM circuits for computing will be shown. 相似文献

We study how to manipulate by the \(\updelta \)-doping a giant magnetoresistance (GMR) device, which can be realized experimentally by depositing two parallel ferromagnetic stripes on top and bottom of the semiconductor \(\hbox {GaAs/Al}_{x}\hbox {Ga}_{1-x}\mathrm{As}\) heterostructure. We demonstrate an obvious GMR effect in the device with a \(\updelta \)-doping. We also reveal that the magnetoresistance ratio depends not only on the weight but also on the position of the \(\updelta \)-doping. These interesting results will be helpful for designing controllable GMR devices. 相似文献

The intensive research in resistive random access memories (RRAM) field has brought in significant improvements in the performance, optimization and reliability of the devices as well as more understanding on their operation. This was made possible through the combination of different tools starting from material engineering to device characterization, modeling and simulations. In this review, we bring an overview of our recent work on RRAM through experimental characterization and first-principles calculations. We explore the effects of metal electrodes on the switching performance and conductive filament (CF) stability of \(\hbox {HfO}_2\) oxide-based RRAM (OxRRAM). With the insight gained from the experimental data, we employ first-principles calculations to have a better microscopic understanding on OxRRAM operation. We show that CF stability and device operating voltages strongly depend on the electrode material. Ti being an electrode material of high interest, we investigate the type of \(\hbox {Ti/HfO}_2\) interface that may be formed and propose a probable composition. We also study the formation and migration of extended Frenkel-pair (EFP) defect in \(\hbox {HfO}_2\) which we consider to be the prototype defect responsible for OxRRAM degradation leading to CF formation. This EFP emission occurs through a cascading migration of O atoms inside \(\hbox {HfO}_2\) lattice. Based on EFP formation and diffusion, we present a simplified CF formation model. Finally, we study low resistance data retention failure in OxRRAM through \(\hbox {HfO}_2\), \(\hbox {Hf}_{1x}\hbox {Al}_{2x}\hbox {O}_{2+x}\) (HfAlO) and \(\hbox {Hf}_{1-x}\hbox {Ti}_{x}\hbox {O}_{2}\) (HfTiO) type of cells. We link its origin to the lateral diffusion of oxygen vacancies at the constriction/tip of the conductive filament in \(\hbox {HfO}_2\)-based RRAM. 相似文献

Using density functional theory and the non-equilibrium Green’s function formalism, the transport and CO adsorption properties of \(\hbox {CeO}_{2}\) molecular device are studied. The band structure shows that \(\hbox {CeO}_{2}\) nanostructure exhibits semiconducting nature. The electron density is found to be more in oxygen sites rather than in cerium sites along \(\hbox {CeO}_{2}\) nanostructure. The density of states spectrum shows the variation in density of charge upon adsorption of CO on CeO\(_2\) device. The transmission spectrum provides the insights on the transition of charge in \(\hbox {CeO}_{2}\) molecular device upon adsorption of CO along the scattering region. I–V characteristics confirm the adsorption of CO with the variation of current along \(\hbox {CeO}_{2}\) molecular device. The findings show that \(\hbox {CeO}_{2}\) two probe molecular device can be efficiently used for CO detection in the atmosphere. 相似文献

In the last few years, resistive random access memory (RRAM) has been proposed as one of the most promising candidates to overcome the current Flash technology in the market of non-volatile memories. These devices have the ability to change their resistance state in a reversible and controlled way applying an external voltage. In this way, the resulting high- and low-resistance states allow the electrical representation of the binary states “0” and “1” without storing charge. Many physical models have been developed with the aim of understanding the mechanisms that control the resistive switching. In this work, we have compiled the main theories accepted as well as their corresponding models for the conduction characteristics. In addition, simulation tools play a very important role in the task of checking these theories and understanding these mechanisms. For this reason, the simulation tool called \(\hbox {SIM}^{2}\hbox {RRAM}\) has been presented. This simulator is capable of replicating the global behavior of RRAM cell based on \(\hbox {HfO}_{x}\). 相似文献

This paper reports studies of a doping-less tunnel field-effect transistor (TFET) with a \(\hbox {Si}_{0.55} \hbox {Ge}_{0.45}\) source structure aimed at improving the performance of charge-plasma-based doping-less TFETs. The proposed device achieves an improved ON-state current (\(I_{{\mathrm{ON}}} \sim {4.88} \times {10}^{-5}\,{\mathrm{A}}/\upmu {\mathrm{m}}\)), an \(I_\mathrm{ON}/I_\mathrm{OFF}\) ratio of \({6.91} \times {10}^{12}\), an average subthreshold slope (\(\hbox {AV-SS}\)) of \(\sim \) \({64.79}\,{\mathrm{mV/dec}}\), and a point subthreshold slope (SS) of 14.95 mV/dec. This paper compares the analog and radio of frequency (RF) parameters of this device with those of a conventional doping-less TFET (DLTFET), including the transconductance (\(g_{{\mathrm{m}}}\)), transconductance-to-drain-current ratio \((g_\mathrm{m}/I_\mathrm{D})\), output conductance \((g_\mathrm{d})\), intrinsic gain (\(A_{{\mathrm{V}}}\)), early voltage (\(V_{{\mathrm{EA}}}\)), total gate capacitance (\( C_{{\mathrm{gg}}}\)), and unity-gain frequency (\(f_{{\mathrm{T}}}\)). Based on the simulated results, the \(\hbox {Si}_{0.55}\hbox {Ge}_{0.45}\)-source DLTFET is found to offer superior analog as well as RF performance. 相似文献

The multiple‐input floating‐gate transistor is a semiconductor device that has found wide application in digital and analog electronic integrated circuits. Simulating an electronic circuit is an essential step in the design flow, prior to manufacturing. Therefore, an advanced model for the multiple‐input floating‐gate transistor is needed for analog design. This paper shows a method for adapting the charge sheet model for advanced models of the device. In addition, the problem of obtaining the drain to source current numerically as a function of external voltages is addressed. Furthermore, important plots are presented in order to clarify the behavior of the concerned device. The small signal analysis of the device is included. This summary may be interesting to those seeking to model the multiple‐input floating‐gate transistor, looking for alternatives to analog electronic design, needing low operating voltage, generating new design strategies, or wishing to understand of the operation of the device or the use of alternatives to implement analog circuits.
