We demonstrate the negative capacitance (NC) effect of HfZrO-based field-effect transistors (FETs) in the experiments. Improved I, SS, and G of NCFET have been achieved in comparison with control metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) FET. In this experiment, the bottom MIS transistors with different passivation time are equivalent to the NC devices with different MOS capacitances. Meanwhile, the electrical properties of NCFET with 40 min passivation are superior to that of NCFET with 60 min passivation owing to the good matching between C and C. Although SS of sub-60 mV/decade is not achieved, the non-hysteretic transfer characteristics beneficial to the logic applications are obtained.

A Negative Capacitance Field-Effect Transistor with High Rectification Efficiency for Weak-Energy 2.45 GHz Microwave Wireless Transmission.

Micromachines (Basel)

December 2024

State Key Laboratory of Wide-Bandgap Semiconductor Devices and lntegrated Technology, School of Microelectronics, Xi'an University of Electronic Science and Technology, Xi'an 710071, China.

This paper proposes and designs a silicon-based negative capacitance field effect transistor (NCFET) to replace conventional MOSFETs as the rectifying device in RF-DC circuits, aiming to enhance the rectification efficiency under low-power density conditions. By combining theoretical analysis with device simulations, the impacts of the ferroelectric material anisotropy, ferroelectric layer thickness, and active region doping concentration on the device performance were systematically optimized. The proposed NCFET structure is tailored for microwave wireless power transmission applications.

Chronic Rapamycin Prevents Electrophysiological and Morphological Alterations Produced by Conditional Pten Deletion in Mouse Cortex.

Abnormalities in the mammalian target of the rapamycin (mTOR) pathway have been implicated in numerous developmental brain disorders. While the molecular and histological abnormalities have been described, less is known about alterations in membrane and synaptic excitability with chronic changes in the mTOR pathway. In the present study, we used a conditional mouse model with a deletion of the phosphatase and tensin homologue (Pten, a negative regulator of mTOR) from cortical pyramidal neurons (CPNs).

Designing advanced materials that effectively mitigate the poor cycle life of battery-type electrodes with high specific capacities is crucial for next-generation energy storage systems. Herein, graphene oxide-ceria (GO-CeO) nanocomposite synthesized via a facile wet chemical route is explored as cathode for high-performance supercapacitors. The morphological analysis suggests fine ceria (CeO) nanoparticles dispersed over ultrathin graphene oxide (GO) sheets while structural studies reveal face-centered cubic phase of CeO in the nanocomposite.

Graphene-based supercapacitors have gained significant attention due to their exceptional energy storage capabilities. Despite numerous research efforts trying to improve the performance, the challenge of experimentally elucidating the nanoscale-interface molecular characteristics still needs to be tackled for device optimizations in commercial applications. To address this, we have conducted a series of experiments using substrate-free graphene field-effect transistors (SF-GFETs) and oxide-supported graphene field-effect transistors (OS-GFETs) to elucidate the graphene-electrolyte interfacial arrangement and corresponding capacitance under different surface potential states and ionic concentration environments.
