High performance In 2 O 3 nanowire transistors using organic gate nanodielectrics

We report the fabrication of high performance nanowire transistors (NWTs) using In 2 O 3 nanowires as the active channel and a self-assembled nanodielectric (SAND) as the gate insulator. The SAND-based single In 2 O 3 NWTs are controlled by individually addressed gate electrodes. These devices exhib...

Summary:We report the fabrication of high performance nanowire transistors (NWTs) using In 2 O 3 nanowires as the active channel and a self-assembled nanodielectric (SAND) as the gate insulator. The SAND-based single In 2 O 3 NWTs are controlled by individually addressed gate electrodes. These devices exhibit n -type transistor characteristics with an on-current of ∼ 25 μ A for a single In 2 O 3 nanowire at 2.0 V ds , 2.1 V gs , a subthreshold slope of 0.2 V /decade, an on-off current ratio of 10 6 , and a field-effect mobility of ∼ 1450 cm 2 ∕ V s . These results demonstrate that SAND-based In 2 O 3 NWTs are promising candidates for high performance nanoscale logic technologies.
