One and two dimensional materials are being extensively researched toward potential application as ultra-thin body channel materials. The difficulty of implementing physical doping methods in these materials has necessitated various alternative doping schemes, the most promising of which is the electrostatic gating technique due to its reconfigurability. This dissertation explores the different fundamental devices that can be fabricated and characterized by taking advantage of the electrostatic gating of individual single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs), dense SWNT networks and exfoliated 2D tungsten diselenide (WSe2) flakes.

Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)

Alternative channel materials with superior transport properties over conventional strained silicon are required for supply voltage scaling in low power complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) integrated circuits. Group III-V compound semiconductor systems offer a potential solution due to their high carrier mobility, low carrier effective mass and large injection velocity. The enhancement in transistor drive current at a lower overdrive voltage allows for the scaling of supply voltage while maintaining high switching performance. This thesis focuses on overcoming several material and processing challenges associated with III-V semiconductor development including a low thermal processing budget, high interface trap state density (Dit), low resistance …
