ESF Exploratory Workshop - Physical and Engineering Sciences (PESC)

Silicon/oxide Hetero-Epitaxy: A New Road Towards A Si CMOS-Compatible Resonant Tunnel Diode Technology ?

12 - 13 September 2006, Villa Olmo, Como, Italy

Scope

The workshop will bring together MBE growers, advanced characterization specialists, and RTD physics experts to discuss recent advances in the theory and practice of crystalline silicon/oxide hetero-interfaces, grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). Epitaxial Oxide/Silicon/Oxide stuctures, grown hetero-epitaxially on Si, can be employed for extending CMOS circuits by enhancing MOSFET technology with a new resonant tunneling diode technology (RTD). RTD co- integration with CMOS for memory and logic applications is expected to result in faster, denser and less power hungry circuits.
