1 A Brief Introduction to Single Electron Transistors Diogo AGUIAM OBRECZÁN Vince December 18,
2 Abstract Transistor integration has come a long way since Moore s Law was first mentioned and current mass fabrication methods are in the 20 nm resolution. The Single Electron Transistor makes use of the quantum effects which occur at nanometric scales to provide discretization of its I-V spectra. For room temperature applications, the size of the quantum dots is still lower than what is currently feasible with existing technologies. Possible applications of the SET include memory cells, metrology standards and new logic circuits based on its discreet currents. However, investor interest should but gathered to allow for the proliferation of the single electron transistor outside research laboratories. 1 Introduction 1.1 History of transistors The transistor was first invented in 1947 at Bell Labs and for its deep effects on our world, it has been considered the most important invention of the 20th century. It has allowed both scientists and engineers to create complex systems and develop new electronic applications. The first working example of an electronic circuit where all its components were integrated on a single semiconductor was achieved in 1958 by Jack Kilby for Texas Instruments. The idea of building basic blocks of electronics on a single substrate propelled the creation of a whole industry for circuit integration, semiconductor fabrication and focused on the miniaturization of these circuits. If transistors and other electronic components could be made smaller, more of these could be built on the same area of semiconductor. The complexity of these circuits could be increased for the same chip area and its power reduced. Moore s Law is a well-known term nowadays but was first talked coined in 1970 and its current adaptation states that the number of transistors in an integrated circuit doubles roughly every two years. This can be understood as the size of the transistor to decrease by half every two years. 1.2 State of the Art in Nanofabrication The current state of the art transistor fabrication methods are in the nanometer scales. Intel, for example, introduced this year the 22 nm [1] CMOS fabrication technology for its processors with 16 nm technology already being tested in its laboratories. Whereas in research departments there can be several different methods which may enable building nanostructures in the 5 nm resolution and even lower [2], the current state of the art lies in the high fidelity fabrication technologies. The technology which is used for mass production of circuits and SoCs (Systems on Chip) must have a high success rate of functional outputs. The maturity of a given technology allows for easier design and commercialization of products as well as making it cheaper to fabricate. The most widely used technologies in consumer electronics are silicon CMOS technologies but also gallium-arsenide [3] and other semiconductor technologies are used depending on the specifications desired. The design of circuits is very specific on the technology used, be it 0.25 µm GaAs or the 22 nm CMOS, and this technology is specific to a fabrication facility, or foundry. Outside research departments the possibility of proliferating a new nanoscale device, such as the single electron transistor, depends highly on its benefits in real-world applications and ease of mass fabrication. Lithography and nano growth still remains as the preferred method for mass production. For a new nano device to reach consumer level affordability and wide proliferation it must be fabricated using either existing methods or without many differences, and its applications should be widespread. However, for a very specific niche it is possible to have custom processes which highly increase the cost, but for a high fidelity fabrication, the technology should be mature enough. 2
3 2 Single Electron Transistors 2.1 Scaling problems of ordinary transistor fabrications [2] Recent applications of transistors in the fields of computer technology and other electronics requested a size reduction. This means not only smaller devices, it can result in low power consumption, and better electronic properties. Unfortunately there are some problems emerging when the size of the fabricated transistors shrink. Below about 100 nm of size some new quantum mechanical effects become significant. In a device with very large transistor density the rising probability of electron tunneling effect causes crosstalk between transistors built next to each other. The smaller size of n or p doped regions can lead to tunneling electron flow form one electrode to the other resulting a reduced ability of control. Furthermore the smaller devices require more accurate fabrication techniques. All these problems lead to the need of newly designed devices and fabrication methods that can operate in smaller sizes. 2.2 Nanoscale devices In a macroscopic scale the discrete value of electric charge does not show up. In an average large scale device the smallest current means millions of moving electrons, and the manipulation of single electrons is practically incredible. In nanoscale devices we experience the discretedness of current resulting that we can manipulate and detect them individually. Furthermore in macroscopic devices the size of the system is much larger than the characteristic lengths of electron propagation (such as momentum or phase reservation length) and in nanodevices these lengths are commensurable with the system dimensions resulting extraordinary conductive properties like quantum-hall effect and discrete conductance quantum. The simplest devices to manipulate single electrons may be the quantum dot (QD) devices (fig. 1). It is composed of two barriers and a region between them where the electron can be found. It can be described as two electron valves in a row and a valley of electron states between them. The depth (the number of electron states) of the valley can be set with the gate voltage. If the energy level of an electron state is higher than the first barrier, and the thermal excitation is high enough to put electrons to this state, the electron can fall into the valley. Howerver it has a nonzero possibility for the electron to get into the valley with tunnel effect from a lower energy level. (a) (b) Figure 1: a) A theoretical figure of the quantum dot potential valley, from [4]. b) A SEM image of a quantum dot formed of graphene, from [5]. With setting of gate voltage V g one can control the current flow through the QD 3
4 2.3 Fabrication issues It has practical reasons that we need devices operating at room temperature resulting that the device will have to meet some certain requirements. The applications set conditions on the size of the device components and the purity and homogeneity of its material. It is necessary to reduce the size scale of the device. Some of the common techniques used to produce ordinary transistors are no longer acceptable. Photolithography based fabrication methods has limitations in the size reduction. The diffraction limit of the light highly dependent on the wavelength of the wave used. In general the resolution can be improved by means of X-ray sources. The scattering of the photons in the photosensitive material used to form patterns on the surface results in a lowest resolution. For preparation of smaller devices electron lithography is used. This method can result better resolution, but is much more expensive, takes more time and has limitations in the terms of automatization and mass production. A SET can be fabricated using wet-chemical methods. This means devices composed of chemically synthesized nanoparticles. The main advantage of this preparation methods are the small sizes of the nanoparticles what can be achieved, even smaller than what a lithographically fabricated device can achieve. These techniques have some challenges remaining such as good control over particle size and monodisperitivity. Improvement of these fields would result in a better operation on the SETs. 2.4 Electronic properties An example of a proven working SET is a MINIM fabricated with a wet-chemical method for an example of nanostructure. The MINIM is an abbreviation for a metal insulator nanocluster insulator metal heterostructure which can be operate as a quantum dot if we apply a bias potential to the metal leads. The insulators are the barriers, and the nanoclaster provide the potential valley. In a semiclassical point of view the characteristic parameters of this nanodevice is the capacitance and resistance of the insulators. In one approach [6] the MINIM is a chemically fabricated heterostructure (fig. 2). Measurements taken by means of a Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM) tip which is placed on one of the Au nanocluster. It has been shown that this kind of device has a Coulomb-gap and one step in the conductance even at room temperature. Figure 2: Layers of a MINIM heteristructure [6] In an another type of experimental arrangement [7] a SET is made using cadmium selenide nanocrystals (fig. 3a). Measurements taken at T = 4, 2K, the conductance is determined as a function of the gate voltage. A peak is observed in the conductance at a certain gate voltage (fig. 3b). At the peak the conductance is slightly similar to the ohmic. The reduced conductance on each side can be understood as a result of the energy cost of adding/removing electrons to/from the nanocrystal. Thus in the I/V plots a wide gap can be observed around zero. When the two charge states of the nanocrystal is balanced an extra electron can propagate without energy cost resulting a higher conductance. 2.5 Single electron transistor applications Single electron devices such as the single electron transistors have several suggested applications, both in the analog and digital domain. Some of these suggestions definitely attract more investor interest for their applicability in the current consumer electronics. An interesting application is the single-electron memory [8]. The memory device industry is a very competitive area and there are several technology 4
5 (a) (b) Figure 3: A SET made from a cadmium selenide nanocrystal [7] processes dedicated to its fabrication. One of its main challenges is the miniaturization of a single memory cell which allows for more cells to be included in the same area. Using a single electron transistor, whose structure is similar to current CMOS memory cells, as a memory would allow for very low power consumption, as demonstrated, and high integration due to its reduced size. Other applications make use of the discrete I-V properties of single electron transistor. Metrology, or the science of measurement, makes use of references to measure quantities. There are references used by the international standards associations for every metric: weight, size, speed, charge... The ideal reference is one based on the fundamental value of that metric. Using a single electron device allows measurements based on the charge of a single electron, meaning that an ultra sensitive device could be achieved. This reference could be used for DC current, temperature and resistance standards. Other analog applications include very narrowband SET oscillators which could be used for radiofrequency systems. For digital applications there have also been suggestions for voltage state and charge state logic circuitry [9]. 2.6 Drawbacks of the SET The sensitivity to a single electron in these nano devices demand that the device is very sensitive to thermal noise. To operate at room temperature and above, the feature size of the quantum dots of the single electron transistor must be very small, less than 10 nm for some materials. Circuit integration at this resolution is still hard to accomplish feasibly and the fabrication of these devices is still based on unconventional methods and with a low success rate. The SET is still far from replacing MOSFET transistors and circuitry so its applications, such as a memory cell, must be integrated along with current CMOS technologies. However, the SET is considered a charge amplifier [10] and its signals must still be amplified to MOSFET levels, which still require very sensitive MOSFET transistors. Summary Single electron transistors are based on the quantum mechanic properties found at the nanometric scale. Feasible fabrication methods have been sought after by many researchers and this is mandatory if SETs are ever to have widespread use. Usual fabrication issues are the resolution required and the interactions between transistors in close proximity. SET applications include memory cells, devices used for metrology standards and logic circuits but these must be integrated along with current technologies to reduce cost and allow for investor interest. 5
