- W2577778827 abstract "Native graphene has a zero energy gap and it is therefore not suitable as a transistor channel material for digital electronics [1]. However, recent advances based on materials engineering have demonstrated graphene-based “materials on demand”, with tailored properties [2,3]. Vertical graphene heterostructures have been proven to be suitable for FETs [4,5] and hot-electron transistors [6] exhibiting large current modulation [7]. Inspired by recent progress in the growth of seamless lateral graphene heterostructures [8-10], graphene-based lateral heterostructure (LH)-FETs have been proposed [11-13], exhibiting extremely promising switching behavior in terms of leakage current, propagation delay, and power-delay product. Despite the interest and the huge expectations of the research community shown towards these new devices, a comparative analysis of the performance against ITRS requirements for next-generation devices has never been done so far. In this work, we explore the performance potential of state-of-the-art graphene based devices, which have already been demonstrated to provide large Ion/Ioff ratios. In particular, we will focus on the lateral heterostructure FET (LH-FET), and two FETs based on vertical graphene-based heterostructures: one proposed by Britnell et al. [4], that we call VH-FET, and the “barristor” proposed in [14]. The three device structures are shown in Figs. 1a-c. We do not consider transistors dedicated to analog RF applications [6]. Vertical Heterostructure FET Performance We consider the VH-FET shown in Fig. 1b, experimentally demonstrated in [4-5] and also analyzed in [7]. The barrier consists of three atomic layers of boron-carbon-nitride, AB-stacked on graphene. Fig. 2a shows the pFET transfer characteristics for different valence band edge barriers BV. Performance figures shown are poor: the Ion/Ioff ratio is always smaller than 20 and the delay time is four orders of magnitude larger than that expected from Internation Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors (ITRS) [15]. Barristor Performance The device structure is shown in Fig. 1c. Silicon has a donor doping ND and the gate dielectric has effective oxide thickness EOT. The gate voltage modulates the Schottky barrier between graphene and silicon exploiting the partial graphene screening properties. Fig. 3 shows that performance is again much worse as compared to ITRS requirements CMOS transistors, i.e. poor Ion/Ioff, larger Power Delay Product (PDP) and intrinsic delay time (τ). LH-FET Optimization and performance – Finally, we consider the double-gate p-channel LH-FET illustrated in Fig. 1a, BC2N is lattice-matched to graphene and has a bandgap of 1.6 eV, offering a barrier to holes from graphene of 0.64 eV. As can be seen in Fig. 4a, the transfer characteristics are almost independent of tB, and all performance parameters are optimized when tB = L (Figs. 4b). As can be seen, in this case, Ion/Ioff is very large (10 ) and complying with ITRS requirements, outperforming VH-FET and the barristor device. Conclusion Finally, we compare in Fig. 5 the requirements of ITRS 2012 for high performance logic CMOS [12] with graphene-based heterostructure FETs. As can bee seen, LH-FETs exhibit lower intrinsic delay time and lower PDP than CMOS for the same gate length (considering 10 nm for 2020, and 7 nm for 2024). VH-FET and barristor cannot be included in the comparison since they exhibit larger delay times by at least four orders of magnitude. We are aware that our simulations do not consider the impact of dissipation in the channel, that typically reduces Ion by a factor of two. Even taking this aspect into account, graphene-based lateral heterostructure FETs stand out as the most promising graphene-based transistors for digital electronics." @default.
