SiGe islands are used to induce tensile strain in the Si channel of Field Effect Transistors to achieve larger transconductance and higher current driveabilities. We report on x-ray diffraction experiments on a single fully-processed and functional device with a TiN+Al gate stack and source, gate, and drain contacts in place. The strain fields in the Si channel were explored using an x-ray beam focused to 400 nm diameter combined with finite element simulations. A maximum in-plane tensile strain of about 1% in the Si channel was found, which is by a factor of three to four higher than achievable for dislocation-free tensile strained Si in state-of-the-art devices.

We analyze the performance of a recently reported Ge/Si core/shell nanowire transistor using a semiclassical, ballistic transport model and an sp3s*d5 tight-binding treatment of the electronic structure. Comparison of the measured performance of the
device with the effects of series resistance removed to the simulated result assuming ballistic transport shows that the experimental device operates between 60 to 85% of the ballistic limit. For this ~15 nm diameter Ge nanowire, we also find that 14-18 modes are occupied at room temperature under ON-current conditions with ION/IOFF=100. To observe true one dimensional transport in a <110> Ge nanowire transistor, the nanowire diameter would have to be much less than about 5 nm. The methodology described here should prove useful for analyzing and comparing on common basis nanowire transistors of various materials and structures.
We study field effect transistor characteristics in etched single layer MoS2 nanoribbon devices of width 50nm with ohmic contacts. We employ a SF6 dry plasma process to etch MoS2 nanoribbons using low etching (RF) power allowing very good control ove
r etching rate. Transconductance measurements reveal a steep sub-threshold slope of 3.5V/dec using a global backgate. Moreover, we measure a high current density of 38 uA/um resulting in high on/off ratio of the order of 10^5. We observe mobility reaching as high as 50 cm^2/V.s with increasing source-drain bias.
We report the results of an experimental study of the magnetoresistance $rho_{xx}$ in two samples of $p$-Si/SiGe/Si with low carrier concentrations $p$=8.2$times10^{10}$ cm$^{-2}$ and $p$=2$times10^{11}$ cm$^{-2}$. The research was performed in the t
emperature range of 0.3-2 K in the magnetic fields of up to 18 T, parallel to the two-dimensional (2D) channel plane at two orientations of the in-plane magnetic field $B_{parallel}$ against the current $I$: $B_{parallel} perp I$ and $B_{parallel} parallel I$. In the sample with the lowest density in the magnetic field range of 0-7.2 T the temperature dependence of $rho_{xx}$ demonstrates the metallic characteristics ($d rho_{xx}/dT>$0). However, at $B_{parallel}$ =7.2 T the derivative $d rho_{xx}/dT$ reverses the sign. Moreover, the resistance depends on the current orientation with respect to the in-plane magnetic field. At $B_{parallel} cong$ 13 T there is a transition from the dependence $ln(Deltarho_{xx} / rho_{0})propto B_{parallel}^2$ to the dependence $ln(Deltarho_{xx} / rho_{0})propto B_{parallel}$. The observed effects can be explained by the influence of the in-plane magnetic field on the orbital motion of the charge carriers in the quasi-2D system.
We demonstrate single dopant implantation into the channel of a silicon nanoscale metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect-transistor. This is achieved by monitoring the drain current modulation during ion irradiation. Deterministic doping is crucial f
or overcoming dopant number variability in present nanoscale devices and for exploiting single atom degrees of freedom. The two main ion stopping processes that induce drain current modulation are examined. We employ 500~keV He ions, in which electronic stopping is dominant, leading to discrete increases in drain current and 14~keV P dopants for which nuclear stopping is dominant leading to discrete decreases in drain current.
We present observations of background charge fluctuators near an Al-AlO_x-Al single-electron transistor on an oxidized Si substrate. The transistor design incorporates a heavily doped substrate and top gate, which allow for independent control of the
substrate and transistor island potentials. Through controlled charging of the Si/SiO_2 interface we show that the fluctuators cannot reside in the Si layer or in the tunnel barriers. Combined with the large measured signal amplitude, this implies that the defects must be located very near the oxide surface.
