| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Excitonic transistors have attracted attention because of the potential advantages such as high operation and interconnection speed, small dimensions, and low per consumption. The major challenges for excitonic devices are to increase the operating temperature. In this study, aiming to obtain room-temperature operating excitonic devices, we have developed a new type of transistor, “piezoelectric-field enhanced exciton transistors”, where a novel semiconductor “ZION” is utilized. As a results, we have succeeded in fabrication of high-quality ZION quantum wells in which large piezoelectric fields are generated. We also found that in out piezoelectric-field enhanced transistors, exciton flow can be switched by photo irradiation. We believe that these results will open up a new pathway to realize optical-excitonic-electronic integrated circuits.
