Steep slope transistors with threshold switching devices

摘要

A steep-slope (SS) field effect transistor (FET) including a FET having a source region and a drain region, and a threshold switching device in direct contact with the source region or the drain region of the FET. Fabricating the steep-slope (SS) field effect transistor (FET) includes fabricating an AlGaN/GaN metal-insulator-semiconductor high electron mobility transistor (MIS-HEMT) having a source region and a drain region, depositing a first electrode layer directly on the source region or the drain region, depositing a threshold switching layer directly on the first electrode layer, and depositing a second electrode layer directly on the threshold switching layer.
