Organic field-effect transistor (FET) based on a copper Phthalocyanine (CuPc) material as an active layer and a $SiO_2$ as a gate insulator were fabricated and analyzed. We measured the typical FET characteristics of CuPc in air. The electrical characteristics of the CuPc FET device were analyzed by a Maxwell-Wagner model. The Maxwell-Wagner model employed in analyzing double-layer dielectric system was helpful to explain the C-V and I-V characteristics of the FET device. In order to further clarity the channel formation of the CuPc FET, optical second harmonic generation (SHG) measurement was also employed. Interestingly, SHG modulation was not observed for the CuPc FET. This result indicates that the accumulation of charge from bulk CuPc makes a significant contribution.

This paper describes a single transistor type ferroelectric field effect transistor (1Tr FeFET) memory cell scheme, which select one unit memory cell and program/read it. The well voltage can be controlled by isolating the common row well lines. Through applying bias voltage to Gate and Well, respectively, we implement If FeFET memory cell scheme in which interference problem is not generated and the selection of each memory cell is possible. The results of HSPICE simulations showed the successful operations of the proposed cell scheme.

최근, 높은 캐리어 이동도와 유연성, 투명성의 우수한 전기적 기계적 특성을 갖는 그래핀에 관한 연구가 활발해지고 있으며 이를 기반으로 한 그래핀 field effect transistor (FET) 센서 응용 또한 관심이 커지고 있다. 작은 소자 크기, 견고한 구조, 빠른 응답속도와 CMOS 공정과의 호환성이 좋은 FET 기반의 센서의 감지 특성은 주로 전해질과 직접 접촉하는 게이트 절연체의 고유 특성에 의해 결정된다. 이러한 게이트 절연체는 일반적으로 스퍼터링, atomic layer deposition (ALD), plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) 등의 진공 방법에 의해 형성되며, 이 공정 기술은 고가의 장비, 긴 공정 시간과 높은 제조비용이 요구된다. 더욱이, 위의 방식들은 소자 제작 동안에 플라즈마 발생 또는 열처리를 필요로 하게 되며 이는 그래핀 기반의 소자의 제작에 있어 큰 손상을 발생시키게 된다. 이러한 이유로 인해, 그래핀 FET 센서의 게이트 절연체의 형성에 있어 진공 증착 기술은 적절하지 않다. 본 연구에서는, 진공 증착 기술의 문제점을 극복하기 위해 sol-gel 방식을 통한 Al2O3 게이트 절연체를 갖는 그래핀 FET 센서를 제작하였다. Sol-gel 방식은 적은 비용, 공정의 단순화, 높은 처리량 뿐 아니라 소자의 대면적화 제작에 유리하다는 장점을 가지며, 또한 게이트 절연체를 증착함에 있어서 플라즈마가 발생하지 않기 때문에 그래핀 FET 제작에 쉽게 적용될 수 있다. 특히, 게이트 절연체 중 Al2O3은 우수한 화학적 안정성과 감지 특성으로 인해 본 실험에 사용하였다. 결론적으로, sol-gel 방식을 통한 Al2O3 게이트 절연체를 갖는 그래핀 FET 센서는 우수한 전기적 특성과 감지 특성 측면에서 매우 전망적이다.

This paper presents the design and analysis of gate-recessed AlGaN/GaN Fin-type Field-Effect Transistor (FinFET). The three-dimensional (3-D) technology computer-aided design (TCAD) simulations were performed to analyze the direct-current (DC) and radio-frequency (RF) characteristics for AlGaN/GaN FinFETs. The fin width ($W_{fin}$) and the height of GaN layer ($H_{GaN}$) are the design parameters used to improve the electrical performances of gate-recessed AlGaN/GaN FinFET.

We attempted to fabricate carbon nanotube field effect transistor (CNT-FET) using single walled carbon nanotube(SWNT) on the heavily doped Si substrate used as a bottom gate, source and drain electrode were fabricated bye-beam lithography on the 500 nm thick $SiO_2$ gate dielectric layer. We investigated electrical and physical properties of this CNT-FET using Scanning Probe Microscope(SPM) and conventional method based on tungsten probe tip technique. The gate length of CNT-FET was 600 nm and the diameter of identified SWNT was about 4 nm. We could observed gating effect and typical p-MOS property from the obtained $V_G-I_{DS}$ curve. The threshold voltage of CNT-FET is about -4.6V and transconductance is 47 nS. In the physical aspect, we could identified SWNT with phase mode of SPM which detecting phase shift by force gradient between cantilever tip and sample surface.

Recently, the junctionless (JL) transistors realized by a single-type doping process have attracted attention instead of the conventional metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFET). The JL transistor can overcome MOSFET's problems such as the thermal budget and short-channel effect. Thus, the JL transistor is considered as great alternative device for a next generation low standby power silicon system. In this paper, the JL FinFET was simulated with a three dimensional (3D) technology computer-aided design (TCAD) simulator and optimized for DC characteristics according to device dimension and doping concentration. The design variables were the fin width ($W_{fin}$), fin height ($H_{fin}$), and doping concentration ($D_{ch}$). After the optimization of DC characteristics, RF characteristics of JL FinFET were also extracted.

We fabricated field-effect transistor based carbon nanotubes(CNTs) directly grown by thermal chemical vapor deposition(CVD) and analyzed their performance. The Ethylene ($C_2H_4$), hydrogen($H_2$) and Argon(Ar) gases were used for the growth of CNTs at $700\;^{\circ}C$. The growth properties of CNTs on the device were analyzed by SEM and AFM. The electrical transport characteristics of CNT FET were investigated by I-V measurement. Transport through the nanotubes is dominated by holes at room temperature. By varying the gate voltage, we successfully modulated the conductance of FET device by more than 7 orders of magnitude.

The magnetoresistance (MR) and the magnetization reversal of a lateral spin-injection device based on a spin-polarized field effect transistor (spin FET) have been investigated. The device consists of a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) system in an InAs single quantum well (SQW) and two ferromagnetic $(Ni_{80}Fe_{20})$ contacts: all injector (source) and a detector (drain). Spin-polarized electrons are injected from the first contact and, after propagating through the InAs SQW are collected by the second contact. By engineering the shape of the permalloy contacts, we were able to observe distinct switching fields $(H_c)$ from the injector and the collector by using scanning Kerr microscopy and MR measurements. Magneto-optic Kerr effect (MOKE) hysteresis loops demonstrate that there is a range of magnetic field (20~60 Oe), at room temperature, over which the magnetization in one contact is aligned antiparallel to that in the other. The MOKE results are consistent with the variation of the magnetoresistance in the spin-injection device.

A new anthracene-containing conjugated molecule was synthesized through the Sonogashira coupling and reduction reactions. 1-Ethynyl-4-hexylbenzene was coupled to 2,6-bis((4-hexylphenyl) ethynyl)anthracene-9,10-dione through a reduction reaction to generate 2,6,9,10-tetrakis((4-hexylphenyl)ethynyl) anthracene. The semiconducting properties were evaluated in an organic thin film transistor (OTFT) and a single-crystal field-effect transistor (SC-FET). The OTFT showed a mobility of around 0.13 $cm^2\;V^{-1}\;s^{-1}$ ($I_{ON}/I_{OFF}$ > $10^6$), whereas the SC-FET showed a mobility of 1.00-1.35 $cm^2\;V^{-1}\;s^{-1}$, which is much higher than that of the OTFT. Owing to the high photoluminescence quantum yield of 2,6,9,10-tetrakis((4-hexylphenyl)ethynyl) anthracene, we could observe a significant increase in drain current under irradiation with visible light (${\lambda}$ = 538 nm, 12.5 ${\mu}W/cm^2$).

A quantum-wire field effect transistor(QW-FET) using asymmetric double InGaAs channel and Si-delta doped barrier has been fabricated. It exhibited good modulation and saturation characteristic in the range of ${\mu}\textrm{A}$ current level. For estimated channel width of 150nm QW-FET, maximum transconductance was about 400 mS/mm which is higher than a conventional heterostructure FET(HFET) with the same epi-structure.
