    摘要: The present invention relates to nanoscaled electronic devices with a vertical nanowire as a functional part. Contacts are arranged on the nanowire at different parts of the nanowire, for example drain and source contacts. In connection to the nanowire contacts are external electrodes, that connect at different levels, as seen from the substrate, of the device. The external electrodes are elongated, and typically and preferably stripe-like. According to the invention a first external electrode, or contacts, associated with contact(s) at a first part of the nanowire, and a second external electrode, associated with contact(s) at a second part of the nanowire are arranged in a cross-bar configuration. The cross-bar configuration minimizes the overlay of the external electrodes, hence, parasitic capacitances and current leakage can be reduced, and the performance of the device improved.

    摘要: A nanowire wrap-gate transistor is realized in a semiconductor material with a band gap narrower than Si. The strain relaxation in the nanowires allows the transistor to be placed on a large variety of substrates and heterostructures to be incorporated in the device. Various types of heterostructures should be introduced in the transistor to reduce the output conductance via reduced impact ionization rate, increase the current on/off ratio, reduction of the sub-threshold slope, reduction of transistor contact resistance and improved thermal stability. The parasitic capacitances should be minimized by the use of semi-insulating substrates and the use of cross-bar geometry between the source and drain access regions. The transistor may find applications in digital high frequency and low power circuits as well as in analogue high frequency circuits.

    摘要: A transceiver comprising a tank circuit, a variable differential conductance, VDC, coupled to the tank circuit, and a variable resistance coupled to the VDC is disclosed. The variable resistance is arranged to bias the VDC into a region of positive differential conductance during a first state of operation of the transceiver, and bias the VDC into a region of negative differential conductance during a second state of operation of the transceiver.
