Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure describe multi-layer graphene assemblies including a layer of fluorinated graphene, dies and systems containing such structures, as well as methods of fabrication. The fluorinated graphene provides an insulating interface to other graphene layers while maintaining the desirable characteristics of the nonfluorinated graphene layers. The assemblies provide new options for utilizing graphene in integrated circuit devices and interfacing graphene with other materials. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Abstract:
Tunneling Field Effect Transistors (TFETs) are promising devices in that they promise significant performance increase and energy consumption decrease due to a steeper subthreshold slope (for example, smaller sub-threshold swing). In various embodiments, vertical fin-based TFETs can be fabricated in trenches, for example, silicon trenches. In another embodiment, vertical TFETs can be used on different material systems acting as a substrate and/or trenches (for example, Si, Ge, III-V semiconductors, GaN, and the like). In one embodiment, the tunneling direction in the channel of the vertical TFET can be perpendicular to the Si substrates. In one embodiment, this can be different than the tunneling direction in the channel of later TFETs. In an embodiment, the disclosed vertical TFET can have a channel that includes the functionality of a drain. In an embodiment, the channel can be unintentionally doped (UID).

Tunneling Field Effect Transistors (TFETs) can offer significant performance increases and energy consumption decreases relative to traditional metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) transistors due to a steeper subthreshold slope (for example, smaller sub-threshold swing). In various embodiments, vertical TFETs can be fabricated in trenches, for example, silicon trenches. In another embodiment, vertical TFETs can be used on different material systems acting as a substrate and/or trenches (for example, Si, Ge, III-V semiconductors, GaN, and the like).

Abstract:
Field effect transistor structures are described that are formed using germanium nanowires. In one example, the structure has a germanium nanowire formed on a substrate along a predetermined confinement orientation, a first doped region of the nanowire at a first end of the nanowire to define a source, a second doped region of the nanowire at a second end of the nanowire to define a drain, and a gate dielectric formed over the nanowire between the source and the drain.
