Nonresonant Response Characteristics to Terahertz Radiation of FETs: Influence of Magnetic Field

Zhu J., Yan Z., Wang Y., Lin X., He J., Peking University, CN

Nonresonant detection on terahertz radiation of field effect transistors by the influence of magnetic field is studied in this paper. The influence of the magnetic field upon the electron mobility in the transistor channel is [...]

Modeling the electrical characteristics of FET-type sensors for biomedical applications

Deen M.J., Shinwari M.W., McMaster University, CA

Uniquely examining and identifying biological pathogens is of great importance in health care, as it facilitates early detection, isolation and possibly prevention of many diseases. Availability of highly efficient and easily produced sensors could have [...]

Modeling of FET Flicker Noise and Impact of Technology Scaling

Chen C-Y, Liu Y., Cao S., Dutton R., Sato-Iwanaga J., Inoue A., Sorada H., Stanford University, US

Ongoing scaling of device dimensions, including the introduction of new channel materials and device structures, as well as the incorporation of novel gate-stack materials, has major implications on noise performance metrics. In particular, flicker noise [...]

The Innitial Reverse-Bias Injecting P+-N Junction Mode in P+-N-P+- Structures with Punch-Through

Mats I., Diatex, Selected Texno-Fix, CA

The Volt-Ampere Characteristics (VAC)s of P+NP+-structures in the schemes with floating base and short-cut p+-n junction (emitter) in punch-through modes were calculated before. It is important to research a behavior for similar structures but with [...]

Synthesis and Electrical Characterization of Silicon Nanoparticles for Electronic Applications

Gopireddy D., Takoudis C.G., Gamota D., Zhang J., Brazis P.W., University of Illinois - Chicago, US

In an effort to assess their potential for future nanoelectronic devices, we have fabricated silicon nanoparticles field effect transistors with nanoparticles as the active channel. The nanoparticles of 10-20 nm diameters are grown on a [...]
