Fundamentals of III-V Semiconductor MOSFETs presents the fundamentals and current status of research of compound semiconductor metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) that are envisioned as a future replacement of silicon in digital circuits. The material covered begins with a review of specific properties of III-V semiconductors and available technologies making them attractive to MOSFET technology, such as band-engineered heterostructures, effect of strain, nanoscale control during epitaxial growth. Due to the lack of thermodynamically stable native oxides on III-V's (such as SiO2 on Si), high-k oxides are the natural choice of dielectrics for III-V MOSFETs. The key challenge of the III-V MOSFET technology is a high-quality, thermodynamically stable gate dielectric that passivates the interface states, similar to SiO2 on Si. Several chapters give a detailed description of materials science and electronic behavior of various dielectrics and related interfaces, as well as physics of fabricated devices and MOSFET fabrication technologies. Topics also include recent progress and understanding of various materials systems; specific issues for electrical measurement of gate stacks and FETs with low and wide bandgap channels and high interface trap density; possible paths of integration of different semiconductor materials on Si platform.

During the last decade, there has been a great deal of interest in TFETs. To the best authors’ knowledge, no book on TFETs currently exists. The proposed book provides readers with fundamental understanding of the TFETs. It explains the interesting characteristics of the TFETs, pointing to their strengths and weaknesses, and describes the novel techniques that can be employed to overcome these weaknesses and improve their characteristics. Different tradeoffs that can be made in designing TFETs have also been highlighted. Further, the book provides simulation example files of TFETs that could be run using a commercial device simulator.

Nanowires are an important sector of circuit design whose applications in very-large-scale integration design (VLSI) have huge impacts for bringing revolutionary advancements in nanoscale devices, circuits, and systems due to improved electronic properties of the nanowires. Nanowires are potential devices for VLSI circuits and system applications and are highly preferred in novel nanoscale devices due to their high mobility and high-driving capacity. Although the knowledge and resources for the fabrication of nanowires is currently limited, it is predicted that, with the advancement of technology, conventional fabrication flow can be used for nanoscale devices, specifically nanowires. Innovative Applications of Nanowires for Circuit Design provides relevant theoretical frameworks that include device physics, modeling, circuit design, and the latest developments in experimental fabrication in the field of nanotechnology. The book covers advanced modeling concepts of nanowires along with their role as a key enabler for innovation in GLSI devices, circuits, and systems. While highlighting topics such as design, simulation, types and applications, and performance analysis of nanowires, this book is ideally intended for engineers, practitioners, stakeholders, academicians, researchers, and students interested in electronics engineering, nanoscience, and nanotechnology.

New Advances in Semiconductors brings together contributions from important researchers around the world on semiconductor materials and their applications. It includes seven chapters in two sections: “Calculations and Simulations in Semiconductors” and “Semiconductor Materials.” The world will emerge different after the social and economic reorganizations caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and will be even more dependent on semiconductors than ever before. New Advances in Semiconductors is a book that brings together the contributions of important researchers around the world and is able to give an idea about the different characteristics of semiconductor materials and their applications. There is a section dedicated to theory, calculations and logic and another dedicated to the development and characterization of semiconductor materials of great future interest. I really hope that this book will help to spread knowledge about this research field to other researchers and students working in this area or even to those interested in starting their more advanced studies.
