A hybrid silicon single-electron transistor-field-effect transistor (SET-FET) that can be tuned between single-electron and classical FET operation at room temperature has been demonstrated. The device utilizes a side-gated heavily doped silicon fin with a width of approximately 6 nm. By controlling the gate voltage, the device transitions from a depletion mode FET to a quantum dot SET with Coulomb diamond characteristics. Statistical analysis of 180 research devices shows a high yield of approximately 37% for room temperature SET-FET operation and a mean single-electron addition energy of approximately 0.3 eV, indicating the possibility of electrically tunable, room temperature quantum and classical mode nanoelectronic circuits.
A hybrid silicon single-electron transistor (SET)-field-effect transistor (FET), tunable by gate voltages between single-electron and classical FET operation, at room temperature (RT) is demonstrated. The device uses a side-gated, similar to 6 nm wide, heavily doped n(+) silicon fin. A gatecontrolled transition occurs from a depletion mode FET, including characteristic output saturation, to a quantum dot SET with Coulomb diamond characteristics above and near the threshold voltage, respectively. Below the threshold voltage, p-FET behavior implies ambipolar operation. Statistics for 180 research devices show a high yield of similar to 37% for RT SET-FET operation and mean single-electron addition energy similar to 0.3 eV. This yield also demonstrates the probability of single-electron effects in highly scaled doped nanoFETs and the possibility of electrically tunable, RT quantum and classical mode, nanoelectronic circuits.
