" Charge transport in molecular and semiconductor nanowires “
Tuesday 22 June 2010 at 4pm
Amphitheatre 15 of the 'Ecole PHELMA Polygone' (formarly called ENSERG)
Baruch Feldman is doing his first postdoctoral appointment at the Tyndall National Institute, University College Cork, Ireland.
I will describe our recent applications of the non-equilibrium Green's function (NEGF) method to electronic transport in two different systems. The junctionless Si nanowire (SiNW) transistor was recently fabricated at Tyndall, and has desirable short-channel characteristics, as well as not needing junctions.
We recently predicted that this device can work at scales as small as ~3 nm gate length and ~1 nm SiNW diameter. In such a thin SiNW, dopant delocalization occurs over length scales comparable to the gate length, making the junctionless design more robust against dopant fluctuations, while making junctioned designs difficult to achieve.
I will also discuss our simulations of a junctionless carbon nanotube (CNT) transistor and end the talk with a preview of our forthcoming paper on our NEGF code TIMES.
This Seminar will be preceded by Jim Greer's talk.
The Foundation's seminars are free and can be attended by everyone. We hope many of you will enjoy this scientific exchange of quality.
