  • Abstract
    In this paper, we establish that bottom-up, vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) grown silicon nanowires can be used to build MOSFETs with characteristics and performance equivalent to contemporary planar FETs. Since VLS nanowires have smoother surfaces and more uniform diameters as compared to top-down fabricated nanowires, we studied the carrier transport in n-FET and p-FET channels made with VLS nanowires having channel diameters down to 3.5 nm.
