We introduce a fabrication method for gate-all-around nanowire field-effect transistors. Single nanowires were aligned perpendicular to underlying bottom gates using a resist-trench alignment technique. Top gates were then defined aligned to the bottom gates to form gate-all-around structures. This approach overcomes significant limitations in minimal obtainable gate length and gate-length control in previous horizontal wrap-gated nanowire transistors that arise because the gate is defined by wet etching. In the method presented here gate-length control is limited by the resolution of the electron-beam-lithography process. We demonstrate the versatility of our approach by fabricating a device with an independent bottom gate, top gate, and gate-all-around structure as well as a device with three independent gate-all-around structures with 300 nm, 200 nm, and 150 nm gate length. Our method enables us to achieve sub-threshold swings as low as 38 mV/dec at 77 K for a 150 nm gate length.

We report the development of nanowire field-effect transistors featuring an ultra-thin parylene film as a polymer gate insulator. The room temperature, gas-phase deposition of parylene is an attractive alternative to oxide insulators prepared at high
temperatures using atomic layer deposition. We discuss our custom-built parylene deposition system, which is designed for reliable and controlled deposition of <100 nm thick parylene films on III-V nanowires standing vertically on a growth substrate or horizontally on a device substrate. The former case gives conformally-coated nanowires, which we used to produce functional $Omega$-gate and gate-all-around structures. These give sub-threshold swings as low as 140 mV/dec and on/off ratios exceeding $10^3$ at room temperature. For the gate-all-around structure, we developed a novel fabrication strategy that overcomes some of the limitations with previous lateral wrap-gate nanowire transistors. Finally, we show that parylene can be deposited over chemically-treated nanowire surfaces; a feature generally not possible with oxides produced by atomic layer deposition due to the surface `self-cleaning effect. Our results highlight the potential for parylene as an alternative ultra-thin insulator in nanoscale electronic devices more broadly, with potential applications extending into nanobioelectronics due to parylenes well-established biocompatible properties.
We report a new approach to integrating high-k{appa} dielectrics in both bottom- and top-gated MoS2 field-effect transistors (FETs) through thermal oxidation and mechanical assembly of layered twodimensional (2D) TaS2. Combined X-ray photoelectron sp
ectroscopy (XPS), optical microscopy, atomic force microscopy (AFM), and capacitance-voltage (C-V) measurements confirm that multilayer TaS2 flakes can be uniformly transformed to Ta2O5 with a high dielectric constant of ~ 15.5 via thermal oxidation, while preserving the geometry and ultra-smooth surfaces of 2D TMDs. Top-gated MoS2 FETs fabricated using the thermally oxidized Ta2O5 as gate dielectric demonstrate a high current on/off ratio approaching 106, a subthreshold swing (SS) down to 61 mV/dec, and a field-effect mobility exceeding 60 cm2V-1 s-1 at room temperature, indicating high dielectric quality and low interface trap density.
Non-volatile memory devices have been limited to flash architectures that are complex devices. Here, we present a unique photomemory effect in MoS$_2$ transistors. The photomemory is based on a photodoping effect - a controlled way of manipulating th
e density of free charges in monolayer MoS$_2$ using a combination of laser exposure and gate voltage application. The photodoping promotes changes on the conductance of MoS$_2$ leading to photomemory states with high memory on/off ratio. Such memory states are non-volatile with an expectation of retaining up to 50 % of the information for tens of years. Furthermore, we show that the photodoping is gate-tunable, enabling control of the recorded memory states. Finally, we propose a model to explain the photodoping, and we provide experimental evidence supporting such a phenomenon. In summary, our work includes the MoS$_2$ phototransistors in the non-volatile memory devices and expands the possibilities of memory application beyond conventional memory architectures.
High-mobility field effect transistors can serve as resonant detectors of terahertz radiation due to excitation of plasmons in the channel. The modeling of these devices previously relied either on approximate techniques, or complex full-wave simulat
ions. In this paper, we obtain an exact solution for driven electrical oscillations in plasmonic field-effect transistor with realistic contact geometry. The obtained solution highlights the importance of evanescent plasma waves excited near the contacts, which qualitatively modify the detector responsivity spectra. We derive the boundary condition on the ac floating electrodes of plasmonic FET which interpolates between open-circuit (Dyakonov-Shur) and short-circuit (clamped voltage) boundary conditions. In both limits, the FET photovoltage possesses resonant fringes, however, the absolute value of voltage is greater in the open-circuit regime.
Palladium diselenide (PdSe2) is a recently isolated layered material that has attracted a lot of interest for the pentagonal structure, the air stability and the electrical properties largely tunable by the number of layers. In this work, PdSe2 is us
ed in the form of multilayer as the channel of back-gate field-effect transistors, which are studied under repeated electron irradiations. Source-drain Pd leads enable contacts with resistance below 350 kOhm um. The transistors exhibit a prevailing n-type conduction in high vacuum, which reversibly turns into ambipolar electric transport at atmospheric pressure. Irradiation by 10 keV electrons suppresses the channel conductance and promptly transforms the device from n-type to p-type. An electron fluence as low as 160 e-/nm2 dramatically change the transistor behavior demonstrating a high sensitivity of PdSe2 to electron irradiation. The sensitivity is lost after few exposures, that is a saturation condition is reached for fluence higher than 4000 e-/nm2. The damage induced by high electron fluence is irreversible as the device persist in the radiation-modified state for several hours, if kept in vacuum and at room temperature. With the support of numerical simulation, we explain such a behavior by electron-induced Se atom vacancy formation and charge trapping in slow trap states at the Si/SiO_2 interface.
