Gallium oxide (), with its ultra-wide bandgap of 4.9 eV, excellent thermal stability, and availability in large native substrates, is an ideal material for solar-blind ultraviolet (UV) detection. In this study, we present a high-performance gate-all-around (GAA) phototransistor based on a p-NiO/n- heterojunction, specifically designed for advanced UV detection applications. The incorporation of p-NiO as the gate material provides a strong built-in electric field, which significantly improves carrier separation, suppresses dark current, and enhances the overall photoresponse. The constructed GAA phototransistor exhibits superior optoelectronic properties, including a responsivity of 8.64×10/, an external quantum efficiency of 4.23×10, a detectivity of 9.92×10 Jones, and rise/fall times both of 5 µs. Comprehensive simulation and experimental analyses reveal that the enhanced performance stems from the favorable type-II band alignment at the / interface, which facilitates efficient photocarrier generation and transport. This work not only establishes a pathway for developing high-sensitivity and fast-response UV photodetectors but also lays the foundation for further advancements in solar-blind optoelectronics for environmental monitoring, space exploration, and other critical applications.

A material design method is proposed using ferroelectric (FE)-antiferroelectric (AFE) mixed-phase HfZrO (HZO) to achieve performance improvements in morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) field-effect transistors (MPB-FETs), such as steep subthreshold swing (SS) and non-hysteretic on-current (I) enhancement. Capacitance (small-signal and quasi-static) and transient current measurements of MPB-FETs confirmed that near-threshold voltage (V) capacitance amplification leads to I boosts under high-speed and low-power conditions. For the first time, two-stacked nanosheet (NS) gate-all-around (GAA) MPB-FETs with optimized HZO, demonstrating superior short channel effect (SCE) immunity with enhanced current drivability is fabricated.

Gate-all-around field-effect transistors (GAA-FETs) represent the leading-edge channel architecture for constructing state-of-the-art high-performance FETs. Despite the advantages offered by the GAA configuration, its application to catalytic silicon nanowire (SiNW) channels, known for facile low-temperature fabrication and high yield, has faced challenges primarily due to issues with precise positioning and alignment. In exploring this promising avenue, we employed an in-plane solid-liquid-solid (IPSLS) growth technique to batch-fabricate orderly arrays of ultrathin SiNWs, with diameters of D = 22.

We systematically study the transport properties of arsenene nanoribbon tunneling field-effect transistors (TFETs) along the armchair directions using first-principles calculations based on density functional theory combined with the non-equilibrium Green's function approach. The pristine nanoribbon TFET devices with and without underlap (UL) exhibit poor performance. Introducing a H defect in the left UL region between the source and channel can drastically enhance the ON-state currents and reduce the SS to below 60 mV/decade.

Poly(p-phenylene ethynylene) (PPE) molecular wires are one-dimensional materials with distinctive properties and can be applied in electronic devices. Here, the approach called first-principles quantum transport is utilized to investigate the PPE molecular wire field-effect transistor (FET) efficiency limit through the geometry of the gate-all-around (GAA) instrument. It is observed that the n-type GAA PPE molecular wire FETs with a suitable gate length ( = 5 nm) and underlap ( = 1, 2, 3 nm) can gratify the on-state current (), power dissipation (), and delay period () concerning the conditions in 2028 to achieve the higher performance (HP) request of the International Roadmap for Device and Systems (IRDS, 2022 version).
