TY - CHAP AB - Nanosilicon materials are promising systems for the fabrication of single-electron transistor and memory devices in silicon. In these devices, precise control over the charging of a nanometre-size ‘island’ by just one electron raises the possibility of low power, highly scaled integrated circuits with one electron per bit. Nanosilicon materials, consisting of crystalline silicon grains ~10 nm in size, provide a means to fabricate ultra-small charging islands using growth techniques rather than high-resolution lithography. It is then possible to fabricate single-electron devices operating at room temperature. This review introduces electron transport in nanosilicon and considers the design and fabrication of single-electron transistors, quantum-dot transistors, and few-electron memory cells in these materials AU - Durrani,ZAK AU - Ahmed,H PB - Elsevier Press PY - 2007/// SN - 978-0-08-044528-1 TI - Nanosilicon single-electron transistors and memory T1 - Nanosilicon ER -
