| Abstract Scope |
One of the building blocks of today’s digital technology is the Si metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor and the gate-controlled electron gas that lives inside the device. These low-dimensional electrons may play an equally essential role in future computing paradigms. SiGeSn heterostructures hosting low-dimensional electrons/holes on a silicon substrate have recently emerged as an important material platform for future quantum electronics and spintronics. In this presentation, I will review the fabrication and device operation of SiGeSn heterostructure field-effect transistors, discuss the physical behavior of these novel devices, and present some interesting quantum phenomena observed in low-dimensional electron/hole systems in these structures. A novel approach of integrating non-epitaxial systems onto a silicon platform will also be presented. |
