In the proposed HJL-TFET, low band gap silicon is used in the source side and higher band gap AlGaAs in the drain side. The whole AlGaAs/Si region is heavily doped n-type. The proposed HJL-TFET uses two isolated gates （named gate, gatel ） with two different work functions （gate = 4.2 eV, gatel = 5.2 eV respectively）. The 2-D nature of HJL-TFET current flow is studied. The proposed structure is simulated in Silvaco with different gate dielectric materials. This structure exhibits a high on current in the range of 1.4 × 10^-6 A/μm, the off current remains as low as 9.1 × 10^-14 A/μm. So /ON/OFF ratio of 10^8 is achieved. Point subthreshold swing has also been reduced to a value of 41 mV/decade for TiO2 gate material.展开更多

The threshold voltage of this HEMT is achieved as -0.472 V. In this device the InA1N barrier layer is intentionally n-doped to boost the ION/IOFF ratio. The InAlN layer acts as donor barrier layer for this HEMT which exhibits an ION = 10-4.3 A and a very low IOFF = 10-14.4 A resulting in an ION/IoFF ratio of 1010.1. We compared our obtained results with the conventional InAlN/GaN HEMT device having undoped barrier and found that the proposed device has almost l0s times better ION/IOFF ratio. Further, the mobility analysis in GaN channel of this proposed HEMT structure along with DC analysis, C-V and conductance characteristics by using small-signal analysis are also presented in this paper. Moreover, the shifts in threshold voltage by DIBL effect and gate leakage current in the proposed HEMT are also discussed. InAlN was chosen as the most preferred barrier layer as a replacement of AlGaN for its excellent thermal conductivity and very good scalability.展开更多

The characteristics of TFETs （having low leakage） are improved by junctionless TFETs through blending advantages of Junctionless FETs （with high on current）. We further improved the characteristics, simultaneously simplifying the structure at a very low power rating using an InAs channel. We found that the proposed device structure has reduced short channel effects and parasitics and provides high speed operation even at a very low supply voltage with low leakage. Simulations resulted in Iovv of - 9 × 10-16A/um, IoN of ,-20uA/um, ION/IoFF of--2× 1010, threshold voltage of 0.057 V, subthreshold slope of 7 mV/dec and DIBL of 86 mV/V for PolyGate/HfO2/InAs TFET at a temperature of 300 K, gate length of 20 nm, oxide thickness of 2 nm, film thickness of 10 nm, low-k spacer thickness of 10 nm and VDD of 0.2 V.展开更多

We are concerned mainly with the origin of the boson peak and the connection between the boson peak and the transverse Ioffe-Regel limit. For all types of disorders, we observe the emergence of the boson peak and Ioffe-Regel limits. With increasing disorder, the boson peak frequency ωBP, transverse Ioffe-Regel frequency ω^TIR, and longitudinal Ioffe-Regel frequency wLn all decrease. We find that there are two ways for the boson peak to form： developing from and coexisting with （but remaining independent of） the transverse van Hove singularity without and with local coordination number fluctuation. In the presence of a single type of disorder, ωTR 〉 wBp, and ωTIR≈BP only when the disorder is sufficiently strong and causes spatial fluctuation of the local coordination number. Moreover, if there is no positional disorder, ωTIR ≈ωLIR. Therefore, the argument that the boson peak is equivalent to the transverse Ioffe-Regel limit is not general. Our results suggest that both local coordination number and positional disorder are necessary for the argument to hold, which is actually the case for most disordered solids such as marginally jammed solids and structural glasses. We further combine two types of disorders to cause disorder in both the local coordination number and lattice site position. The density of vibrational states of the resulting networks resembles that of marginally jammed solids well. However, the relation between the boson peak and the transverse Ioffe-Regel limit is still indefinite and condition-dependent. Therefore, the interplay between different types of disorders is complicated, and more in-depth studies are required to sort it out.展开更多
