Abstract
Nanowire transistors are typically undoped devices whose characteristics depend strongly on the injection of carriers from the electrical contacts. In this letter, we fabricate and characterize SiGe nanowire transistors with an n-p-n doping profile and with a top gate covering only the p-doped section of the nanowire. For each device, we locate the p-segment with scanning capacitance microscopy, where the p-segment position varies along the channel due to the stochastic nature of our dropcast fabrication technique. The current–voltage characteristics for a series of transistors with different gate positions reveal that the on/off ratios for electrons is the highest when the gated p-type section is closest to the source contact, whereas the on/off ratios for holes is the highest when the gated p-type section is closest to the drain contact.
