Investigation of the Electrical Characteristics of Triple-Gate FinFETs and Silicon-Nanowire FETs

out of 5 stars

08 Aug 2006 | | Contributor(s):: Monica Taba, Gerhard Klimeck

Electrical characteristics of various Fin field-effect transistors (FinFETs) and silicon-nanowires were analyzed and compared using a modified three-dimensional self-consistent quantum-mechanical simulator in order to investigate device performance. FinFETs have been proposed to fulfill the...

Chemical Modification of GaAs with TAT Peptide and Alkylthiol Self-Assembled Monolayers

out of 5 stars

03 Aug 2006 | | Contributor(s):: Hamsa Jaganathan

The use of self-assembled monolayers (SAM) on semiconductors creates a basis for the design and creation of bioelectronics, such as biosensors. The interface between the surface and an organic monolayer can change significant electrical and physiochemical properties of a biological device....

Technique for High Spatial Resolution, Focused Electrical Stimulation for Electrically Excitable Tissue

out of 5 stars

08 Aug 2006 | | Contributor(s):: Matteo Mannino

Cochlear implant devices have made use of electrode pulses as a method of nerve fiber stimulation since their early conception. Electrode stimulation is limiting in both quality and consistency, and a new method is required if significant improvements to implant devices are to be made. By using a...

DNA Nanowires

out of 5 stars

06 Aug 2006 | | Contributor(s):: Margarita Shalaev

DNA is a relatively inexpensive and ubiquitous material that can be used as a scaffold for constructing nanowires. Our research focuses on the manufacturing of DNA-templated, magnetic nanowires. This is accomplished by synthesizing positively-charged metal nanoparticles that self-assemble along...

out of 5 stars

02 Aug 2006 | | Contributor(s):: Jamie Nipple, Michael Toole, David Janes

Current research concerning self-assembled monolayers (SAM) focuses on the fabrication of microelectronics utilizing a semiconductor/molecule/metal junction. This study seeks to investigate various experimental techniques for creation of organic monolayers by surface analysis techniques including...

NEMO 3D: Intel optimizations and Multiple Quantum Dot Simulations

out of 5 stars

03 Aug 2006 | | Contributor(s):: Anish Dhanekula, Gerhard Klimeck

NEMO-3D is a nanoelectronic modeling tool that analyzes the electronic structure of nanoscopic devices. Nanoelectronic devices such as Quantum Dots (QDs) can contain millions of atoms,. Therefore, simulating their electronic structure, can take up to several days. In order to simulate and analyze...

Electrodeposition of Palladium as an Ohmic Contact for Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes
