METHOD, SYSTEM, AND APPARATUS FOR GATING CONFIGURATIONS AND IMPROVED CONTACTS IN NANOWIRE-BASED ELECTRONIC DEVICES

摘要

Methods, systems, and apparatuses for electronic devices having improved gate structures are described. An electronic device includes at least one snowier; a gate contact is positioned along part of the length of the snowier, and a dielectric material layer is between the gate contact and the at least one snowier. At least a portion of the source contact and/or the drain contact overlaps with the gate contact along the snowier length. In another aspect, an electronic device includes a snowier having a semiconductor core surrounded by an insulating shell layer. A ring shaped first gate region surrounds the snowier along a portion of the length of the snowier. A second gate region is positioned along the length of the snowier between the snowier and the substrate. A source contact and a drain contact are coupled to the semiconductor core of the snowier at respective exposed portions of the semiconductor core.
