Evidence of Electron Charging Induced Alternating Currents in Nanopillar Transistor
Authorized by Yue Min Wan
Study of electron charging in nanopillar transistor at
300K shows that elastic vibration is an automatic behavior in the device. The frequency
observed in the drain-source current is found to agree with the charging
frequency. Given a quantum dot of size ~10x10x9nm3, the maximum displacement
estimated is 0.3nm. Once the displacement diminishes to zero, single-electron
tunnel dominates the I-V. A forced vibration model is proposed to explain the
correlation between surface charges and vibrations. When the distribution of
charges is uniformly on each SiNx atom, vibration becomes stable and can yield
homogenous damping current.
