- *Abstract
-
The invention is a novel transistor concept, referred to as Electronic-Structure Modulation Transistor (EMT). The device principle is based on the electronic structure modulation of the channel by an external gate voltage. The EMT has very large ON/OFF current ratio with reasonable self gain using a few-kT supply voltage. The concept has been proven in a double-gated device structure using a 20 nm long and 10 μm wide channel consisting of Au nanocrystals and nitride traps.
EMTs have the potential to open a new class of "post-CMOS" logic devices to continue scaling in feature sizes below the tens of nanometers.
