Abstract:
Molecular Graphene (MG) of a physical size and bonding character that render the molecule suitable as a channel material in an electronic device, such as a tunnel field effect transistor (TFET). The molecular graphene may be a large polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) employed as a discrete element, or as a repeat unit, within an active or passive electronic device. In some embodiments, a functionalized PAH is disposed over a substrate surface and extending between a plurality of through-substrate vias. Heterogeneous surfaces on the substrate are employed to direct deposition of the functionalized PAH molecule to surface sites interstitial to the array of vias. Vias may be backfilled with conductive material as self-aligned source/drain contacts. Directed self-assembly techniques may be employed to form local interconnect lines coupled to the conductive via material. In some embodiments, graphene-based interconnects comprising a linear array of PAH molecules are formed over a substrate.
Abstract:
Conductivity improvements in III-V semiconductor devices are described. A first improvement includes a barrier layer that is not coextensively planar with a channel layer. A second improvement includes an anneal of a metal/Si, Ge or SiliconGermanium/III-V stack to form a metal-Silicon, metal-Germanium or metal-SiliconGermanium layer over a Si and/or Germanium doped III-V layer. Then, removing the metal layer and forming a source/drain electrode on the metal-Silicon, metal-Germanium or metal-SiliconGermanium layer. A third improvement includes forming a layer of a Group IV and/or Group VI element over a III-V channel layer, and, annealing to dope the III-V channel layer with Group IV and/or Group VI species. A fourth improvement includes a passivation and/or dipole layer formed over an access region of a III-V device.
