The Self-switching Diodes (SSDs) have been primarily researched and used in low-power device applications for RF detection and harvesting applications. In this paper, we explore the potential of SSDs in high-voltage applications with the usage of Silicon Carbide (SiC) as substrate materials which offers improved efficiency and reduced energy consumption. Optimization in terms of the variation in the interface charges, metal work function, and doping concentration values has been performed by means of a 2D TCAD device simulator. The results showed that the SSD can block up to 600 V of voltage with an optimum interface charge value of 1013 cm-2, making them suitable for higher voltage applications. Furthermore, it also found that the work function of the metal contact affected the forward voltage value, impacting the current flow in the device. Variation in doping concentrations also resulted in higher breakdown voltages and significantly increased forward current, leading to an increased power rating of 27 kW. In conclusion, the usage of 4H-SiC-based SSDs shows a usable potential for high-voltage applications with optimized parameters. The results from this research can facilitate the implementation of SSD in the development of high-power semiconductor devices for various industrial applications.

A planar nanodevice, known as the self-switching diode (SSD) has been demonstrated to rectify electromagnetic signals at microwave and terahertz frequencies. This diode has a non-linear current-voltage (I-V) characteristic due to the structure of the device which consists of asymmetric nanochannel. To further explore the properties of SSD rectifiers, in this work, silicon-based SSDs with different dielectric materials that filled up the trenches of the devices were simulated using ATLAS device simulator under the temperature range of 250 K-500 K. The results showed that the rectification performance of the SSDs was deteriorated with increasing temperature for all dielectric materials which might be due to the thermal-activated electronic transport behavior of the devices.

Simulation and characterization of an inverter logic gate by utilizing InGaAs-based planar devices

2023-12 , Faradilla Aziz , Shahrir Rizal Kasjoo , Nor Farhani Zakaria , Fauzi Packeer , A. K. Singh

Electronic circuits known as logic gates can perform basic logical operations like inverters, AND, and OR gates. These logic gates serve as the basis for digital electronics, and they are a common component in various electronic devices, such as computers, smartphones, and other types of digital systems. This research presents an inverter logic gate made of planar devices, which have significantly simpler structures than multi-layered transistors and diodes, namely the self-switching diode (SSD) and side-gated transistor (SGT). The inverter logic gate is realized by simply connecting both SSD and SGT in parallel. The electrical characteristics and performances of the inverter logic gate are assessed based on InGaAs material using SILVACO Inc.'s ATLAS device simulator software. The simulation results show that the functionality of the proposed planar inverter is comparable to that of a conventional inverter logic gate based on the standard truth table of the device. This has demonstrated the feasibility of building logic gates using a combination of SSDs and SGTs. In addition, the planar structure of SSD and SGT allows for a relatively low-cost device fabrication process as well as offering a high-frequency operation due to low parasitic elements in the devices.

Simulation of InGaAs-based self-switching diodes as sub-terahertz rectifiers

2022-12 , Faradilla Aziz , Shahrir Rizal Kasjoo , Nor Farhani Zakaria , Fauzi Packeer , A.K. Singh

Abstract. A self-switching device (SSD) is a new device concept -which can be simply realized by forming insulating trenches into a semiconductor layer, using a single nanolithography process. SSDs can be utilized as rectifiers since the device's current-voltage (I-V) characteristic is comparable to that of a conventional diode. The simulation of two InGaAsbased SSDs with parallel connection using ATLAS device simulator for similar and different lengths of both SSDs (L1 and L2) is presented in this paper. The simulation results show that the InGaAs-based SSDs are able to operate up to sub-terahertz (THz) frequencies. As expected, lowering either L1 or L2 will not only increase the device’s cut-off frequency, fc, but also degrading the device’s rectification performance (i.e., reducing the value of curvature coefficient, γ). The highest cut-off frequency achieved in this work was 0.27 THz with γ ~18V-1 when L1 = 0.8 μm and L2 = 0.4 μm.
