Gain in quantum cascade lasers and superlattices: A quantum transport theory [PDF]
Gain in current-driven semiconductor heterostructure devices is calculated within the theory of nonequilibrium Green functions. In order to treat the nonequilibrium distribution self-consistently the full two-time structure of the theory is employed without relying on any sort of Kadanoff-Baym Ansatz.

Monolithic Infrared Silicon Photonics: The Rise of (Si)GeSn Semiconductors [PDF]
(Si)GeSn semiconductors are finally coming of age after a long gestation period. The demonstration of device quality epi-layers and quantum-engineered heterostructures has meant that tunable all-group IV Si-integrated infrared photonics is now a real possibility.

Room-temperature spin injection and spin-to-charge conversion in a ferromagnetic semiconductor / topological insulator heterostructure [PDF]
Spin injection using ferromagnetic semiconductors at room temperature is a building block for the realization of spin-functional semiconductor devices. Nevertheless, this has been very challenging due to the lack of reliable room-temperature ferromagnetism in well-known group IV and III-V based semiconductors. Here, we demonstrate room-temperature spin

A Physical Model for the Hysteresis in MoS2 Transistors
Even though the hysteresis in the gate transfer characteristics of two-dimensional (2D) transistors is a frequently encountered phenomenon, the physics behind it are up to now only barely understood, let alone modeled.

Ground state determination and band gaps of bilayers of graphenylenes and octafunctionalized-biphenylenes [PDF]
Device fabrication often requires materials that are either reliably conducting, reliably semiconducting, or reliably nonconducting. Bilayer graphene (BLG) changes from a superconductor to a semiconductor depending on it's stacking, but because it is difficult to control its stacking, it is not a reliable material for device fabrication.

Co-planar spin-polarized light emitting diode [PDF]
Studies of spin manipulation in semiconductors has benefited from the possibility to grow these materials in high quality on top of optically active III-V systems. The induced electroluminescence in these layered semiconductor heterostructures has been used for a reliable spin detection.

Reliability of Miniaturized Transistors from the Perspective of Single-Defects
To analyze the reliability of semiconductor transistors, changes in the performance of the devices during operation are evaluated. A prominent effect altering the device behavior are the so called bias temperature instabilities (BTI), which emerge as a ...

On the Construction of Distribution-Free Prediction Intervals for an Image Regression Problem in Semiconductor Manufacturing [PDF]
The high-volume manufacturing of the next generation of semiconductor devices requires advances in measurement signal analysis. Many in the semiconductor manufacturing community have reservations about the adoption of deep learning; they instead prefer other model-based approaches for some image regression problems, and according to the 2021 IEEE ...

Enhanced Carrier Transport by Transition Metal Doping in WS2 Field Effect Transistors [PDF]
High contact resistance is one of the primary concerns for electronic device applications of two-dimensional (2D) layered semiconductors. Here, we explore the enhanced carrier transport through metal-semiconductor interfaces in WS2 field effect transistors (FETs) by introducing a typical transition metal, Cu, with two different doping strategies: (i) a
