Diamond-based junction field-effect transistor for extreme power applications Hasselt University
Metal-Organic Framework Field-Effect Transistor Arrays for Chemical Sensing KU Leuven
Detecting volatile organic compounds (VOCs) at low concentrations is an important but challenging task with a range of applications, including checking food freshness, monitoring indoor air quality, and diagnosing lung conditions through breath analysis. In all of these areas, high-performance yet compact VOC sensors are needed. While compact VOC sensors exist, they suffer from limited lifetimes and low selectivities, and often produce ...
Quantum mechanical transport in heterostructure tunnel field-effect transistors for future ultra-low power nano-CMOS applications. KU Leuven
The scaling of the metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) has been the driving force for the enormous increase in computational power in everyday digital electronics since the 1960's. Today, this trend is reaching its limits, as the MOSFET supply voltage can no longer be scaled at the same pace as the device dimensions. This is due to a lower limit on the subthreshold swing (SS). As a result, the power density of ...

Transport and Variability Study on Transition Metal Dichalcogenide (MX2) Based Field-Effect Devices: Time-zero Performance KU Leuven
2D materials are very promising alternatives to conventional channel materials such as Si and Ge in extending the logic scaling roadmap. Their atomically thin channels enable excellent electrostatic control and extreme device scaling. Numerous single-device demonstrators have been reported in literature. However, to reach industrial adoption, fundamental understanding of MX2 channel/interface defects and their impact on performance and ...
Integration of a IIIV p-channel tunnel-field-effect transistor for ultra-low power nano-CMOS applications. KU Leuven
The Tunneling Field-Effect Transistor (TFET) is a promising candidate for future low-power logic applications. The carrier injection mechanism of the TFET is quantum mechanical Band-To-Band Tunneling (BTBT), which is accompanied by an energy filtering mechanism. This filtering allows switching from the off-state to the on-state using a lower supply voltage than the MOSFET, and hence reducing the power consumption of integrated ...
Oxide semiconductor of select transistor for memory devices KU Leuven
Amorphous metal oxide semiconductor like Indium-Gallium-Zinc-Oxide (IGZO) is the most commonly used oxide material in display application due to their field-effect mobility, good uniformity over large glass substrates sizes and low temperature process.Besides driving innovative thin-film transistors for display applications, IGZO is also seen as a strong candidate for replacing silicon in some architectures, helping the semiconductor industry ...
Nanopore Transistors: Characterisation and Application Development KU Leuven
A Field-Effect Transistor (FET) is incorporated in a Nanopore to allow for high-speed detection of biomolecule translocation. The Nanopore FET is sensitive to local potentials inside the pore and through its transconductance (transistor gain) converts these gating potentials into an easily measurable current. The performance of this device is characterized and the application of the device for protein identification is developed. The ...
