  • Abstract
    An oxide/silicon core/shell nanowire (OSCSNW) MOSFET is proposed. Its fabrication process and performance are described in detail. The ION/IOFF ratio of the OSCSNW is improved by more than one order of magnitude compared with traditional nanowire (TNW) devices. Excellent scaling characteristics are also observed from the OSCSNW MOSFETs with minimal threshold voltage roll-off, drain induced barrier lowing and subthreshold slope degradation. Furthermore, the high frequency characteristics of OSCSNWs are also investigated.
