Title:
BACK-GATE FIELD-EFFECT TRANSISTORS AND METHODS FOR MAKING THE SAME
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2019/148170
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A back-gate carbon nanotube field effect transistor (CNFETs) provides: (1) reduced parasitic capacitance, which decreases the energy-delay product (EDP) thus improving the energy efficiency of digital systems (e.g., very-large-scale integrated circuits) and (2) scaling of transistors to smaller technology nodes (e.g., sub-3 nm nodes). An exemplary back-gate CNFET includes a channel. A source and a drain are disposed on a first side of the channel. A gate is disposed on a second side of the channel opposite to the first side. In this manner, the contacted gate pitch (CGP) of the back-gate CNFET may be scaled down without scaling the physical gate length (Lԍ) or contact length (Lc). The gate may also overlap with the source and/or the drain in this architecture. In one example, an exemplary CNFET was demonstrated to have a CGP less than 30 nm and 1.6x improvement to EDP compared to top-gate CNFETs.
