Graphene/Ferroelectric (Ge-Doped HfO<sub>2</sub>) Adaptable Transistors Acting as Reconfigurable Logic Gates

We present an array of 225 field-effect transistors (FETs), where each of them has a graphene monolayer channel grown on a 3-layer deposited stack of 22 nm control HfO<sub>2</sub>/5 nm Ge-HfO<sub>2</sub> intermediate layer/8 nm tunnel HfO<sub>2</sub>/<i>p<...

description We present an array of 225 field-effect transistors (FETs), where each of them has a graphene monolayer channel grown on a 3-layer deposited stack of 22 nm control HfO<sub>2</sub>/5 nm Ge-HfO<sub>2</sub> intermediate layer/8 nm tunnel HfO<sub>2</sub>/<i>p</i>-Si substrate. The intermediate layer is ferroelectric and acts as a floating gate. All transistors have two top gates, while the <i>p</i>-Si substrate is acting as a back gate. We show that these FETs are acting memtransistors, working as two-input reconfigurable logic gates with memory, the type of the logic gate depending only on the values of the applied gate voltages and the choice of a threshold current.
