Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- We present processing technology and characterization results for InP/GaInAs two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) three-terminal ballistic junction (TBJ) devices manufactured using nanoimprint lithography (NIL). To transfer sub-100 nm features into a high-mobility InP-based 2DEG material, we used SiO2/Si stamps made using electron beam lithography and reactive ion etching. After NIL, the resist residues are removed in oxygen plasma; this is followed by wet etching of InP/GaInAs to define the TBJ structures. Fabricated TBJ devices are characterized using scanning electron microscopy and electron transport measurements. Highly non-linear electrical characteristics as predicted by the theory (Xu H Q 2001 APPI. Phys. Lett. 78 2064) are demonstrated.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this letter, we demonstrate the realization of novel diodes, triodes, and logic gates with three-terminal ballistic junctions (TBJs) made from a semiconductor heterostructure. The approach exploits the ballistic nature of electron transport, which has emerged in the nanostructures. Importantly, we show that TBJs function as logic AND gates and can be used to construct other compound logic gates, such as NAND gates with voltage gain, when combined with a point contact (an inverter). The demonstrated devices show favorable characteristics such as low turn-on voltage in rectification and room-temperature operation.

Microwave detection at 110 GHz by nanowires with broken symmetry

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- By using arrays of nanowires with intentionally broken symmetry, we were able to detect microwaves up to 110 GHz at room temperature. This is, to the best of our knowledge, the highest speed that has been demonstrated in different types of novel electronic nanostructures to date. Our experiments showed a rather stable detection sensitivity over a broad frequency range from 100 MHz to 110 GHz. The novel working principle enabled the nanowires to detect microwaves efficiently without a dc bias. In principle, the need for only one high-resolution lithography step and the planar architecture allow an arbitrary number of nanowires to be made by folding a linear array as many times as required over a large area, for example, a whole wafer. Our experiment on 18 parallel nanowires showed a sensitivity of approximately 75 mV dc output/mW of nominal input power of the 110 GHz signal, even though only about 0.4% of the rf power was effectively applied to the structure because of an impedance mismatch. Because this array of nanowires operates simultaneously, low detection noise was achieved, allowing us to detect -25 dBm 110 GHz microwaves at zero bias with a standard setup.

A novel SR latch device realized by integration of three-terminal ballistic junctions in InGaAs/InP
- 2008

Ingår i: IEEE Electron Device Letters. - 0741-3106. ; 29:6, s. 540-542

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this letter, a novel sequential logic device based on three-terminal ballistic junctions (TBJs) is proposed and demonstrated. Two TBJs and two in-plane gates are laterally integrated in a high-electron-mobility InGaAs/InP quantum-well material by a single-step lithography process. Electrical measurements reveal that the integrated device functions as a set-reset (SR) latch with voltage gains at room temperature. The demonstrated device provides a new and simple circuit design for SR latches in digital electronics.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- An integrated nanoelectronic circuit is fabricated from a high-mobility In0.75Ga0.25As/InP heterostructure. The manufactured device comprises two double in-plane gate transistors with a current channel of 1.1 mu m in length and 100 nm in width. The two transistors are coupled to each other in a configuration that the source of one transistor is directly connected with one in-plane gate of the other transistor. Electrical measurements reveal that this device functions as an SR (set-reset) latch (a sequential logic device) with a gain of similar to 4 in the logic swing at room temperature. The demonstrated device provides a simple circuit design for SR latches.

Frequency mixing and phase detection functionalities of three-terminal ballistic junctions

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Three-terminal ballistic junctions (TBJs) are fabricated from a high-mobility InP/In0.75Ga0.25As heterostructure by electron-beam lithography. The voltage output from the central branch is measured as a function of the voltages applied to the left and right branches of the TBJs. The measurements show that the TBJs possess an intrinsic nonlinearity. Based on this nonlinearity, a novel room-temperature functional frequency mixer and phase detector are realized. The TBJ frequency mixer and phase detector are expected to have advantages over traditional circuits in terms of simple structure, small size and high speed, and can be used as a new type of building block in nanoelectronics.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Three-Terminal ballistic junctions (TBJs) and planar quantum-wire transistors (QWTs) are emerging nanoelectronic devices with various novel electrical properties. In this work, we realize novel nanoelectronic analogue and digital circuits with TBJs and planar QWTs made on In0.75Ga0.25As/InP two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) material. First we show that a single TBJ can work as a frequency mixer or a phase detector. Second, we fabricate an integrated nanostructure containing two planar QWTs, which can be used as an RS flip-flop element. Third, we make a nanoelectronic circuit by the integration of two TBJs and two planar QWTs. This circuit shows the RS flip-flop functionalities with much larger noise margins in both high and low level inputs. All measurements in this work are done at room temperature.
