▎ 摘  要

As a type of steep-slope transistor, a Dirac-source field-effect transistor (DS-FET) provides both high performance and sub-60 mV dec(-1) subthreshold swing (SS) at room temperature. However, only p-type DS-FETs are experimentally demonstrated, and n-type DS-FETs for constructing complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) logic circuits are lacking. Here, the first experimental demonstrations of n-type DS-FETs and tunneling FETs (TFETs) based on a graphene/carbon nanotube heterojunction with a Sc drain are provided. The as-fabricated n-type DS-FETs present a minimum SS as low as 37 mV dec(-1) at room temperature and a high I-60 of 2.6 mu A mu m(-1) (V-ds = 0.1 V), which reflect an advantage in the on-state performance of more than two orders of magnitude over the TFETs. In addition, the G(m)/I-ds ratio reaches 70 V-1, which breaks the physical limit (38.5 V-1) and reflects the ultrahigh transconductance efficiency of the transistor for analog applications. The realization of n-type DS-FETs not only opens a door to achieving CMOS DS-FETs for future high-energy-efficiency digital electronics and high-performance analog electronics but also further verifies the validity and universality of device physics for DS-FETs.
