  • Abstract
    This paper presents simulation of three-state behavior recently reported in quantum dot gate field-effect transistor (FET) structures. The model self-consistently solves Schrodinger and Poisson equations with built-in transfer of carriers from the inversion channel to two layers of cladded SiOx-Si quantum dots (QDs) forming the gate, predicting the "intermediate state" in the transfer Id-Vg characteristic. Circuit model and simulations for a 3-bit ADC are also presented.
