Implementation of Separable Scattering Mechanisms in Three-Dimensional Quantum Mechanical Simulations of a Silicon Quantum Wire

Gilbert M.J., Akis R., Ferry D.K., Arizona State University, US

In order to understand the operation of any type of semiconductor device, one must consider the effects of scattering. For many years, Monte Carlo has been the workhorse that has yielded great insight into the [...]

Growth and Characterization of GaAs/AlGaAs Core-Shell Nanowires and AlGaAs Nanotubes

Noborisaka J., Motohisa J., Hara S., Fukui T., Hokkaido University, JP

We report on the fabrication of GaAs/AlGaAs core-shell nanowires (NWs) and AlGaAs nanotubes by SA-MOVPE and their photoluminescence characterization. The fabrication started from a preparation of patterned GaAs (111) B substrates partially covered with SiO2 [...]

Growth of Carbon Nano-Structures in Ceramic Materials

Kufazvinei C., Leahy R.W., Lipson S.M., Blau W.J., Dillon F.C., Spalding T.R., Morris M.A., Holmes J.D., Allan G., Patterson J., Trinity College Dublin, IE

The investigation aims at growing carbon nanotubes of controlled diameter from inside pores of ceramic materials. The resulting carbon nanotubes will then be used in electrons as thermally conductive substrates in die mountings.

Nanopillar Arrays with Superior Mechanical Strength and Optimal Spacing for High Sensitivity Biosensors

Anandan V., Rao Y.L., Zhang G., University of Georgia, US

Recently, many types of vertically aligned slender nanostructures, such as nanotubes and nanorods have been fabricated for use in biosensors development because of their increased surface area. Lately, evidence has emerged to reveal that these [...]

Three-Dimensional Logic Architecture by Four-terminal Electrical Switches (FES) beyond Two-dimensional CMOS Architecture

Fujita S., Abe K., Lee T.H., Stanford University, US

The technology expected after the lithography limit to keep increasing the number of transistors is thought to be either use of new transistors such as CNT by bottom-up process or three-dimensional (3D) architecture. We have [...]

Polymeric Nanowire Architectures and Nanodevices

Liu H., Kameoka J., Verbridge S., Craighead H.G., Cornell University, US

We devised a method, named as scanned electrospinning technique, to form a variety of one-dimensional polymeric nanostructures. It is a straightforward technique that enables the rapid fabrication of oriented polymeric nanowires as well as their [...]

Room-Temperature InAlAs/InGaAs Planar Tunneling-coupled Transistor

Moon J-S., Rajavel R., Chow D., Bui S., Wong D., HRL Labs, US

In this talk, we report the first experimental demonstration of InAlAs/InGaAs planar tunneling-coupled transistors at room temperature, in which tunneling characteristics such as negative differential resistance (NDR) and peak current are controlled with high gain [...]
