Steep-slope $beta$-Ga$_2$O$_3$ nano-membrane negative capacitance field-effect transistors (NC-FETs) are demonstrated with ferroelectric hafnium zirconium oxide in gate dielectric stack. Subthreshold slope less than 60 mV/dec at room temperature is obtained for both forward and reverse gate voltage sweeps with a minimum value of 34.3 mV/dec at reverse gate voltage sweep and 53.1 mV/dec at forward gate voltage sweep at $V_{DS}$=0.5 V. Enhancement-mode operation with threshold voltage ~0.4 V is achieved by tuning the thickness of $beta$-Ga$_2$O$_3$ membrane. Low hysteresis of less than 0.1 V is obtained. The steep-slope, low hysteresis and enhancement-mode $beta$-Ga$_2$O$_3$ NC-FETs are promising as nFET candidate for future wide bandgap CMOS logic applications.

Integrating negative capacitance (NC) into the field-effect transistors promises to break fundamental limits of power dissipation known as Boltzmann tyranny. However, realization of the stable static negative capacitance in the non-transient regime w
ithout hysteresis remains a daunting task. Here we show that the failure to implement the NC stems from the lack of understanding that its origin is fundamentally related with the inevitable emergence of the domain state. We put forth an ingenious design for the ferroelectric domain-based field-effect transistor with the stable reversible static negative capacitance. Using dielectric coating of the ferroelectric capacitor enables the tunability of the negative capacitance improving tremendously the performance of the field-effect transistors.
Point defects in crystalline materials often occur in multiple charge states. Although many experimental methods to study and explore point defects are available, techniques to explore the non-equilibrium dynamics of the charge states of these defect
s at ultrafast (sub-nanosecond) time scales have not been discussed before. We present results from ultrafast optical-pump supercontinuum-probe spectroscopy measurements on $beta$-Ga$_2$O$_3$. The study of point defects in $beta$-Ga$_2$O$_3$ is essential for its establishment as a material platform for high-power electronics and deep-UV optoelectronics. Use of a supercontinuum probe allows us to obtain the time-resolved absorption spectra of material defects under non-equilibrium conditions with picosecond time resolution. The probe absorption spectra shows defect absorption peaks at two energies, $sim$2.2 eV and $sim$1.63 eV, within the 1.3-2.5 eV probe energy bandwidth. The strength of the absorption associated with each peak is time-dependent and the spectral weight shifts from the lower energy peak to the higher energy peak with pump-probe delay. Further, maximum defect absorption is seen for probe polarized along the crystal c-axis. The time-dependent probe absorption spectra and the observed dynamics for all probe wavelengths at all pump-probe delays can be fit with a set of rate equations for a single multi-level defect. Based on first-principles calculations within hybrid density functional theory we attribute the observed absorption features to optical transitions from the valence band to different charge states of Gallium vacancies. Our results demonstrate that broadband ultrafast supercontinuum spectroscopy can be a useful tool to explore charge states of defects and defect dynamics in semiconductors.
The so-called Boltzmann Tyranny defines the fundamental thermionic limit of the subthreshold slope (SS) of a metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) at 60 mV/dec at room temperature and, therefore, precludes the lowering of the sup
ply voltage and the overall power consumption. Adding a ferroelectric negative capacitor to the gate stack of a MOSFET may offer a promising solution to bypassing this fundamental barrier. Meanwhile, two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors, such as atomically thin transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) due to their low dielectric constant, and ease of integration in a junctionless transistor topology, offer enhanced electrostatic control of the channel. Here, we combine these two advantages and demonstrate for the first time a molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) 2D steep slope transistor with a ferroelectric hafnium zirconium oxide layer (HZO) in the gate dielectric stack. This device exhibits excellent performance in both on- and off-states, with maximum drain current of 510 {mu}A/{mu}m, sub-thermionic subthreshold slope and is essentially hysteresis-free. Negative differential resistance (NDR) was observed at room temperature in the MoS2 negative capacitance field-effect-transistors (NC-FETs) as the result of negative capacitance due to the negative drain-induced-barrier-lowering (DIBL). High on-current induced self-heating effect was also observed and studied.
We introduce a deep-recessed gate architecture in $beta$-Ga$_2$O$_3$ delta-doped field effect transistors for improvement in DC-RF dispersion and breakdown properties. The device design incorporates an unintentionally doped $beta$-Ga$_2$O$_3$ layer a
s the passivation dielectric. To fabricate the device, the deep-recess geometry was developed using BCl$_3$ plasma based etching at ~5 W RIE to ensure minimal plasma damage. Etch damage incurred with plasma etching was mitigated by annealing in vacuum at temperatures above 600 $deg$C. A gate-connected field-plate edge termination was implemented for efficient field management. Negligible surface dispersion with lower knee-walkout at high V$_mathrm{DS}$, and better breakdown characteristics compared to their unpassivated counterparts were achieved. A three terminal off-state breakdown voltage of 315 V, corresponding to an average breakdown field of 2.3 MV/cm was measured. The device breakdown was limited by the field-plate/passivation edge and presents scope for further improvement. This demonstration of epitaxially passivated field effect transistors is a significant step for $beta$-Ga$_2$O$_3$ technology since the structure simultaneously provides control of surface-related dispersion and excellent field management.
The epitaxial growth of technically-important $beta$-Ga$_2$O$_3$ semiconductor thin films have not been realized on flexible substrates due to limitations by the high-temperature crystallization conditions and the lattice-matching requirements. In th
is report, for the first time single crystal $beta$-Ga$_2$O$_3$(-201) thin films is epitaxially grown on the flexible CeO2 (001)-buffered hastelloy tape. The results indicate that CeO$_2$ (001) has a small bi-axial lattice mismatch with $beta$-Ga$_2$O$_3$ (-201), thus inducing a simultaneous double-domain epitaxial growth. Flexible photodetectors are fabricated based on the epitaxial $beta$-Ga$_2$O$_3$ coated tapes. Measurements show that the obtained photodetectors have a responsivity of 40 mA/W, with an on/off ratio reaching 1000 under 250 nm incident light and 5 V bias voltage. Such photoelectrical performance is already within the mainstream level of the $beta$-Ga$_2$O$_3$ based photodetectors by using the conventional rigid single crystal substrates; and more importantly remained robust against more than 1000 cycles of bending tests. In addition, the epitaxy technique described in the report also paves the way for the fabrication of a wide range of flexible epitaxial film devices that utilize the materials with lattice parameters similar to $beta$-Ga$_2$O$_3$, including GaN, AlN and SiC.
