Figure 10.12. Device characteristics of PbSe nanocrystal FETs activated with hydrazine. (a) Plots of 7d and 7 2 versus VG at constant VDS = 40 V for an n-channel FET assembled from 8.1-nm PbSe nanocrystals. L = 8 xm, W = 2300 tm. (b) ID versus VG plot at constant VDS = IV for an ambipolar FET assembled from 8.1-nm PbSe nanocrystals. L = 8 xm, W = 2300 xm. (c) Plots of 7D and 7 2 versus VG at constant Fps = -40V for a p-channel FET assembled from 8.2-nm PbSe nanocrystals. L = 10 tm, W = 3000 xm. (d) Plot of 7D versus FDS, as a function of VG for a p-channel FET assembled from 8.4-nm PbSe nanocrystals. L = 8 xm, W = 2300 xm. The changes in the transistor polarity were induced by controllable adsorption/desorption of hydrazine molecules from the nanocrystal surface.

A simple n-channel FET consists of a block of heavily doped p-type semiconductor with a channel of an n-type semiconductor (see Figure 4.12).

As basic sensor a pH-l FET chip was developed which can be used for different ISM depositions. It contains a dual ISFET structure (n-channel FET, LP-CVD Si3N4 gate membrane, gate size 16 x 400 pm) and a temperature sensitive diode. The chip is fabricated in a standard MOS>production line. For using the chip in a ISFET difference measuring mode without a conventional reference electrode an integrated pseudo reference electrode has been designed too.

Blog Entry 3 A more simple solution to implement is to use the 3478 Low-side N-channel controller in a SEPIC configuration. This application utilizes two inductors (instead of a Flyback transformer) to attain the Buck-Boost function. The 3478 requires an external user-selectable Fet switch, so you can choose the one that suits your load current requirement. The datasheet provides an application rationale for SEPIC configuration on page 19, Figure 13. The output voltage can be set to 12V by changing the value of the feedback resistor.

HOMO of DBTTF and the LUMO of TCNQ, respectively (Fig. 4b). Source and drain electrodes are several organic metals of the TTF TCNQ type having different chemical potentials predicted using Fig. 4c which is the same as Fig. 2a. For the electrodes whose chemical potentials are set within the conduction band of the channel material, FET exhibited n-type behavior (A in Fig. 4d). When the chemical potentials of organic metals are allocated within or near the valence band of the channel, p-type behaviors were observed (E, F in Fig. 4d). When the chemical potentials of the electrodes are within the gap of the channel, FET exhibited ambipolar-type behavior (B-D in Fig. 4d). Since the channel material is the alternating CT solid, the drain current is not excellent and a Mott type insulator of DA type or almost neutral CT solid having segregated stacks is much preferable in this context. 

The inverter circuit described in recent publications by Nara and Matsumura (1982) is shown in Fig. 17. It consists of an n-channel enhancement mode driver FET and a p-channel load FET produced by a hot-cathode arc-discharge decomposition of silane gas mixtures (Matsumura and... 

Although the two choices each of type (JFET, MOSFET) of channel (n-channel, p-channel) and doping (enhancement, depletion) could yield eight choices, in practice only five main FET types exist ... 

As already mentioned, there was the suggestion of using ambipolar FETs to realise complementary-like organic integrated circuits [3, 10, 17, 66]. Here we investigate ambipolar inverters consisting of mixed-layer ambipolar FETs and compare their characteristics to a complementary inverter made of discrete p- and n-channel transistors from neat materials. 

In terms of polarity as NPN and PNP (for BJTs), n-channel and p-channel [for field-effect transistors (FETs)].
