Abstract :
The reliable detection and control of single-ion incidence opens up the possibilities both for future nanoscale semiconductor devices for single-atom devices that employ single atoms to store or manipulate information. We have fabricated semiconductors with various ordered distributions of dopant atoms, which are compared with existing semiconductors that have a random arrangement of dopant atoms and evaluated the influence of discrete dopant atom distribution on its electrical properties and its dependence on the channel length. The anticipated results will provide the knowledge regarding impurity distribution beneficial for channel engineering of nanodevices.
