Research Highlights
Significance of Electron-Hole Duality During Band-to-Band Tunneling Process for Designing Tunneling FETs
Electron-hole

We have highlighted an underlying physical concept behind the BTBT process that has been mostly overlooked in literature. It has been shown that ignoring the dual nature of electrons and holes during the BTBT phenomenon can not only lead to substantially erroneous results but also to misleading...

Laterally-Actuated Nano-Electro-Mechanical Switches Can Lead to Ultra-Energy-Efficient and Compact Logic Gates
NEMS

We have reported the fabrication and modeling of laterally-actuated double-electrode NEMS structures and design of novel logic gates using such devices.Furthermore, novel NEMS-based inverter, NAND, NOR and XOR gates are proposed. It is shown that an XOR gates can be implemented using only two...
