ABSTRACTAn overview of SiGe-based, modulation doped heterostructures is given. Strained layer handling, a prerequisite for realizing both n- and p-type devices, Is treated in terms of band engineering. The main emphasis is put on recent results obtained with high-electron mobility n-type Si/SiGe structures. Hall, Shubnikov-deHaas, and cyclotron resonance measurements are presented. The thermal stability of the heterostructures and the dopant distribution are treated with respect to device applications. Room temperature and 77K dc-measurements on very recent modulation doped field effect transistor (MODFET) implementations using implanted source/drain contacts are discussed. Device concepts with n- and p-type MODFETs combined in a superior complementary layout (CMODFET) are proposed.

Silicon Germanium is lattice mismatched to Silicon by up to 4.2% depending on the Ge content. Up to a critical thickness elastic strain accommodates the mismatch. The band ordering of SiGe/Si interfaces is strongly influenced by the strain shifting the band ordering from flat conduction band to a type II ordering when proper strain adjustment is performed. As device examples the heterobipolartransistor, hetero field effect transistor and room temperature Esaki tunneling are treated. As key questions for further material development are identified the growth and processing of ultrametastable layers and the strain adjustment by thin virtual substrates.

AbstractIn this paper we describe the fabrication of oxide based devices similar in architecture to a conventional FET with source, drain, and gate electrodes and a channel. This distinctive characteristic of our device is the use of a channel material capable of undergoing a field-induced Mott insulator-metal transition at room temperature. Lithographic techniques developed for oxide materials have been combined with pulsed laser deposition of perovskite materials onto single-crystal strontium titanate (STO) substrates to fabricate these devices. Materials chosen for the Mott transition channel include La2CuO4 (LCO) and YBCO, p-type; and Nd2CuO4, n-type.

Donor–acceptor-type organic semiconductor molecules are of great interest for potential organic field-effect transistor applications with ambipolar characteristics and non-volatile memory applications. Here, we synthesized an organic semiconductor, PDPPT-TT, and directly utilized it in both field-effect transistor and non-volatile memory applications. As-synthesized PDPPT-TT was simply spin-coated on a substrate for the device fabrications. The PDPPT-TT based field-effect transistor showed ambipolar electrical transfer characteristics. Furthermore, a gold nanoparticle-embedded dielectric layer was used as a charge trapping layer for the non-volatile memory device applications. The non-volatile memory device showed clear memory window formation as applied gate voltage increases, and electrical stability was evaluated by performing retention and cycling tests. In summary, we demonstrate that a donor–acceptor-type organic semiconductor molecule shows great potential for ambipolar field-effect transistors and non-volatile memory device applications as an important class of materials.
