The metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) field effect transistor (FET) using ‘oxidized μ c-Si/ultrathin oxide’ gate structure was studied. It was found that this structure shows negative differential resistance behavior, which can be explained by the Coulomb blockade effect of trapped carriers and immediate tunneling into and tunneling out with gate bias variation. The requirements for the device with this structure showing negative differential resistance behavior are based on very weak resistive coupling between floating gate and channel. They are the thinness of the tunnel oxide film, the thickness ratio of the upper oxidized film and the tunnel oxide, and the channel threshold voltage. MOSFET with this gate structure is proposed as a new negative differential resistance device. 相似文献

The quantum phase transition and the electronic transport in a triangular quantum dot system are investigated using the numerical renormalization group method.We concentrate on the interplay between the interdot capacitive coupling V and the interdot tunnel coupling t.For small t,three dots form a local spin doublet.As t increases,due to the competition between V and t,there exist two first-order transitions with phase sequence spin-doublet-magnetic frustration phase-orbital spin singlet.When t is absent,the evolutions of the total charge on the dots and the linear conductance are of the typical Coulomb-blockade features with increasing gate voltage.While for sufficient t,the antiferromagnetic spin correlation between dots is enhanced,and the conductance is strongly suppressed for the bonding state is almost doubly occupied. 相似文献

We consider a mesoscopic ring connected to external reservoirs by tunnel junctions. The ring is capacitively coupled to an external gate electrode and may be pierced by a magnetic field. Due to strong electron–electron interactions within the ring the conductance shows Coulomb blockade oscillations as a function of the gate voltage, while Aharonov–Bohm interference effects lead to a dependence on the magnetic flux. The Hamiltonian of the ring is given by a Luttinger model that allows for an exact treatment of both interaction and interference effects. We conclude that the positions of conductance maxima as a function the external parameters can be used to determine the interaction parameter
, and the shapes of conductance peaks are strongly affected by electron correlations within the ring. 相似文献

A Schottky diode with InAs dots in the intrinsic GaAs region was used to investigate perpendicular tunneling (in growth direction) through InAs quantum dots (QDs). At forward bias conditions electrons tunnel from the ohmic back contact into the metal Schottky gate. Peaks appear in the differential conductance when a QD level comes into resonance with the Fermi-level of the n-doped region. The observed tunneling features are attributed to electron transport through the s- and p-shell of the InAs islands. In our in-plane tunneling experiments the islands were embedded in the channel region of an n-doped GaAs/AlGaAs HEMT-structure. In order to study tunneling through single InAs islands, a quantum point contact was defined by lithography with an atomic force microscope and subsequent wet-chemical etching. In contrast to unpatterned devices sharp peaks appear in the I–V characteristic of our samples reflecting the transport of electrons through the p-shell of a single InAs QD. 相似文献

An architecture for nano-electronic computation based on crossbars of hysteretic resistors is presented. We show how such crossbars can implement inverting and non-inverting latches and sum-of-product logic functions, and give examples of a NAND gate, exclusive-OR gate, and half adder. Multiple hysteretic resistor crossbars may be combined to implement complex computational systems. The designs have been evaluated using SPICE (a general-purpose circuit simulation program), demonstrating the feasibility of implementation given a suitable nano-electronic substrate.

We report on the low temperature tunneling characteristics of two-dimensional lateral tunnel junctions (2DLTJs) consisting of two coplanar two-dimensional electron systems separated by an in-plane tunnel barrier. The tunneling conductance of the 2DLTJ exhibits a characteristic dip at small voltages—consistent with the phenomenon of zero-bias anomaly in low-dimensional tunnel junctions—and a broad conductance peak at the Coulombic energy scale. The conductance peak remains robust under magnetic fields well into the quantum Hall regime. We identify the broad conductance maxima as the signature of the pseudogap in the tunneling density of states below the characteristic Coulomb interaction energy of the 2DLTJ. 相似文献

We present measurements of the rates for an electron to tunnel on and off a quantum dot, obtained using a quantum point contact charge sensor. The tunnel rates show exponential dependence on drain-source bias and plunger gate voltages. The tunneling process is shown to be elastic, and a model describing tunneling in terms of the dot energy relative to the height of the tunnel barrier quantitatively describes the measurements. 相似文献

We introduce the ab-initio framework for zigzag-edged graphene fragment based single-electron transistor (SET) operating in the Coulomb blockade regime. Graphene is modeled using the density-functional theory and the environment is described by a continuum model. The interaction between graphene and the SET environment is treated self-consistently through the Poisson equation. We calculate the charging energy as a function of an external gate potential, and from this we obtain the charge stability diagram. Specifically, the importance of including re-normalization of the charge states due to the polarization of the environment has been demonstrated. 相似文献

Thermal noise generated by a hot resistor (resistance R) can, under proper conditions, catalyze heat removal from a cold normal metal (N) in contact with a superconductor (S) via a tunnel barrier (I). Such a NIS junction is reminiscent of Maxwell's demon, rectifying the heat flow. Upon reversal of the temperature gradient between the resistor and the junction, the heat fluxes are reversed: this presents a regime which is not accessible in an ordinary voltage-biased NIS structure. We obtain analytical results for the cooling performance in an idealized high impedance environment and perform numerical calculations for general R. We conclude by assessing the experimental feasibility of the proposed effect. 相似文献

In modern deep-submicron devices, for achieving optimum device performance, the doping densities must be quite high. This necessitates a careful treatment of the short- and long-range electron–electron and electron–impurity interactions. We have shown before that by using a corrected Coulomb force, in conjunction with a proper cutoff range, one can properly account for the short-range portion of the force. Our approach naturally incorporates multi-ion contributions, local distortions in the scattering potential due to the movement of the free charges, and carrier-density fluctuations. The doping dependence of the low-field electron mobility obtained from 3D resistor simulations closely followed the experimental results, thus proving the correctness of our approach. Here, we discuss how discrete impurity effects affect the threshold voltage of ultra-small n-channel MOSFETs with gate lengths ranging from 50 to 100 nm. We find that the fluctuations in the threshold voltage increase with increasing the oxide thickness and substrate doping. The averaging effect over the width of the device leads to significantly smaller fluctuations in the threshold voltage for devices with larger gate width. The observed trends are in agreement with the experimental findings. 相似文献

We propose a set of universal gate operations for the singlet-triplet qubit realized by two-electron spins in a double quantum dot, in the presence of a fixed inhomogeneous magnetic field. All gate operations are achieved by switching the potential offset between the two dots with an electrical bias, and do not require time-dependent control of the tunnel coupling between the dots. We analyze the two-electron dynamics and calculate the effective qubit rotation angle as a function of the applied electric bias. We present explicit gate sequences for single-qubit rotations about two orthogonal axes, and a CNOT gate sequence, completing the universal gate set. 相似文献

A double barrier Single Electron Transistor is realized in two dimensions by confining the 2-D electron gas of a GaAs/GaAlAs heterojunction to a small island by means of Schottky gates. Two gates provide adjustable tunnel barriers and a central gate controls the electron number in the island. The island has small single-particle energy level spacing and forms a metallic island. Periodic conductance oscillations characteristic of Coulomb blockade are observed when the central gate voltage is varied. The ability to vary the tunnel conductance allows us to study the basic physics of the Coulomb blockade: our results show that the quantum charge fluctuation mechanism which limits the tunneling blockade at low temperature is of second order in tunnel barrier transparencies in agreement with the charge Macroscopic Quantum Tunneling (q-MQT) or co-tunneling model. 相似文献

Single electron transistors with wire channels are fabricated by a nanoelectrode-pair technique. Their characteristics strongly depend on the channel widths and the voltages on the in-plane gates. A few dips in the Coulomb blockade oscillations were observed at the less positive gate voltages for a device with a 70nm-wide wire due to Coulomb blockade between the coupled dots. By applying negative voltages to the in-plane gates, the oscillations became periodic, which indicated the formation of a single dot in the conducting channel. These gates facilitate fabricating single-electron transistors with single dot structures, which have potential applications on its integration. 相似文献
