We investigate the operation of dual-gate reconfigurable field-effect transistor (RFET) in the programgate at drain (PGAD) and program-gate at source (PGAS) configurations. To this end, dual-gate silicon nanowire (SiNW) FETs are fabricated based on anisotropic wet chemical silicon etching and nickel silicidation yielding silicide-SiNW Schottky junctions at source and drain. Whereas in PGAD-configuration ambipolar operation is suppressed, switching is deteriorated due to the injection through a Schottky-barrier. Operating the RFET in PGAS configuration yields a switching behavior close to a conventional MOSFET. This, howewer, needs to be traded off against strongly non-linear output characteristics for small bias.
