Objective
Today’s era demands different applications of electronics in different way. So researchers apply various techniques to build novel electronic structures by applying different materials. High-k materials are such materials which can change the face of electronic industry. Researchers are utilising the high-k materials due to the dielectric thickness which can be increased at the same capacitance, thereby supressing the leakage current. Gate leakage in a modern transistor occurs through a process called “quantum mechanical tunnelling”. It occurs when the gate dimension is so thin that the carriers have a certain statistical probability of being on the “downstream” side of the gate – without actually sloshing over the gate. So higher-k material remains desired for further enhancement.
The aim of this special session will be a quick start for researchers to find their problem which explains the application of higher-k dielectric materials and their developments. Segment 1. Need of High-K materials Segment 2: Previous literature and developments carried out and Segment 3: Application point of view for fabricating novel compound semiconductor devices like TFET, FinFET, GaaFET, Memories and other circuits
