Electrical Performance of SWCNT-FET
Brief Description
High-performance single-walled carbon nanotube field-effect-transistors (SWCNT -FETs) fabricated with thin atomic layer deposited (ALD) Al2O3 as gate dielectrics are demonstrated. A 1.5µm gate-length p-type SWCNT-FETs with 15 nm Al2O3 insulator thickness achieves a gate leakage current below 10-11A at -2.5 V < VG < 7 V, sub-threshold swings of S ~ 105 mV per decade, the extracted trans-conductance of 3uS at a drain bias of 0.2V, and a maximum on-current of -12 A at a reverse gate bias of -1V. The paper provides an in depth study of the growth of the ALD Al2O3 for SWCNT applications towards obtaining a good interface quality and a potential to integrate these unique devices with CMOS transistors.
