New blend of materials in nanowires results in better transistors

The semiconductor industry is driven forward by improvements in digital processors, of which the transistor has been the fundamental component. Recently, the field has been broadened to include components that are specially designed for efficiency in areas such as artificial intelligence, 5G networks and the internet of things. Adam Jönsson’s research is linked to this development. The III-V material variants, i.e. a combination of elements from the third and fifth columns of the periodic table, have better electron transport properties than silicon, the industry standard.

On Friday 17 September at 9:00, Adam Jönsson will present his doctoral thesis entitled “Vertical Heterostructure III-V MOSFETs for CMOS RF and Memory Applications” at LTH.
