In this paper, a silicon nanowire (SiNW) FET-based DAC is proposed and simulated. The proposed DAC is based on SiNW unit element current cells and logic thermometric decoding block. The FET current is calculated by using non-equilibrium Green’s function (NEGF) formalism. The unit current cell geometry and bias condition were chosen to maximize ION/...

In this study, an analytical gas response formula is developed based on the classical gaseous molecule adsorption model. To validate the analytical formula, an array of silicon nanowires or microwires is fabricated by patterning the device layer of a silicon‐on‐insulator (SOI) wafer. Gas Hall effect measurements reveal that the surface depletion of...

Herein, we investigate the performance of thin film transistors based on polycrystalline silicon nanowires using the complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor spacer technique. A drain current model was developed based on the Poisson equation whose charge density includes the acceptor traps. The density of states (DOS) distribution was characterized...

Silicon nanowires are key anode materials for the fast-paced Li-ion battery technology. However, the thermal properties of lithiated silicon nanowires have not been clarified, particularly with classical interatomic potentials. In this study, we employ a second nearest neighbor modified embedded atom (2NN MEAM) interatomic potential and a non-equil...
