Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, silicon nanowire transistor with threshold voltage (Vth) self-adjusting mechanism was designed and fabricated in order to realize ultra-low voltage operating transistors. In this mechanism, Vth decreases at the ON-state and Vth increases at the OFF-state, resulting in ultra-low voltage operation. The width of the fabricated nanowire transistor was as small as 38nm. It was confirmed that the fabricated nanowire transistor has the Vth self-adjusting mechanism at supply voltage as low as 0.1V.
