Low-temperature conductance oscillations in junctionless nanowire transistors

Junctionless nanowire transistors show more marked oscillations conductance oscillations than inversion-mode devices. These oscillations can be observed at higher temperature, drain voltage, and gate voltage than in surface-channel, inversion-mode multigate metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect devices. Clear oscillations are observed at 77 K at a drain voltage of 100 mV in devices with a 10 x 10 nm(2) cross section. (C) 2010 American Institute of Physics. (doi:10.1063/1.3506899
