In this study, InSb nanowires have been formed by electrodeposition and integrated into NW-FETs. NWs were formed in porous anodic alumina (PAA) templates, with the PAA pore diameter of approximately 100 nm defining the NW diameter. Following annealing at 125C and 420C respectively, the nanowires exhibited the zinc blende crystalline structure of InSb, as confirmed from x-ray diffraction and high resolution transmission electron microscopy. The annealed nanowires were used to fabricate nanowire field effect transistors (NW-FET) each containing a single NW with 500 nm channel length and gating through a 20nm SiO2 layer on a doped Si wafer. Following annealing of the NW-FETs at 300C for 10 minutes in argon ambient, transistor characteristics were observed with an ION ~ 40 uA (at VDS = 1V in a back-gate configuration), ION/IOFF ~ 16 - 20 in the linear regime of transistor operation and gd ~ 71uS. The field effect electron mobility extracted from the transconductance was ~1200 cm2 V-1 s-1 at room temperature. We report high on-current per nanowire compared with other reported NW-FETs with back-gate geometry and current saturation at low source-drain voltages. The device characteristics are not well described by long-channel MOSFET models, but can qualitatively be understood in terms of velocity saturation effects accounting for enhanced scattering

The unique optoelectronic properties of graphene [1] make it an ideal platform for a variety of photonic applications [2], including fast photodetectors [3], transparent electrodes [4], optical modulators [5], and ultra-fast lasers [6]. Owing to its high carrier mobility, gapless spectrum, and frequency-independent absorption coefficient, it has been recognized as a very promising element for the development of detectors and modulators operating in the Terahertz (THz) region of the electromagnetic spectrum (wavelengths in the hundreds of micrometers range), which is still severely lacking in terms of solid-state devices. Here we demonstrate efficient THz detectors based on antenna-coupled graphene field-effect transistors (FETs). These exploit the non-linear FET response to the oscillating radiation field at the gate electrode, with contributions of thermoelectric and photoconductive origin. We demonstrate room temperature (RT) operation at 0.3 THz, with noise equivalent power (NEP) levels < 30 nW/Hz^(1/2), showing that our devices are well beyond a proof-of-concept phase and can already be used in a realistic setting, enabling large area, fast imaging of macroscopic samples.
Graphene is considered as a promising platform for detectors of high-frequency radiation up to the terahertz (THz) range due to graphene$$s superior electron mobility. Previously it has been shown that graphene field effect transistors (FETs) exhibit room temperature broadband photoresponse to incoming THz radiation thanks to the thermoelectric and/or plasma wave rectification. Both effects exhibit similar functional dependences on the gate voltage and therefore it was found to be difficult to disentangle these contributions in the previous studies. In this letter, we report on combined experimental and theoretical studies of sub-THz response in graphene field-effect transistors analyzed at different temperatures. This temperature-dependent study allowed us to reveal the role of photo-thermoelectric effect, p-n junction rectification, and plasmonic rectification in the sub-THz photoresponse of graphene FETs.
We report on reflective electro-optic sampling measurements of TeraHertz emission from nanometer-gate-length InGaAs-based high electron mobility transistors. The room temperature coherent gate-voltage tunable emission is demonstrated. We establish th at the physical mechanism of the coherent TeraHertz emission is related to the plasma waves driven by simultaneous current and optical excitation. A significant shift of the plasma frequency and the narrowing of the emission with increasing channels current are observed and explained as due to the increase of the carriers density and drift velocity.
We report the operation of a field-effect transistor based on a single InAs nanowire gated by an ionic liquid. Liquid gating yields very efficient carrier modulation with a transconductance value thirty time larger than standard back gating with the SiO2 /Si++ substrate. Thanks to this wide modulation we show the controlled evolution from semiconductor to metallic-like behavior in the nanowire. This work provides the first systematic study of ionic-liquid gating in electronic devices based on individual III-V semiconductor nanowires: we argue this architecture opens the way to a wide range of fundamental and applied studies from the phase-transitions to bioelectronics.
The performance of field effect transistors based on an single graphene ribbon with a constriction and a single back gate are studied with the help of atomistic models. It is shown how this scheme, unlike that of traditional carbon-nanotube-based tra nsistors, reduces the importance of the specifics of the chemical bonding to the metallic electrodes in favor of the carbon-based part of device. The ultimate performance limits are here studied for various constriction and metal-ribbon contact models. In particular we show that, even for poorly contacting metals, properly taylored constrictions can give promising values for both the on-conductance and the subthreshold swing.
