ifficult issue for achieving ultralow power LSI is lowering
supply voltage of FETs while overcoming physical limitation
of sub threshold slope (SS=2.3 kBT/q=60 mV/dec). This
limitation will stop further scaling of the power consumption
even if multi gate architecture and III-V/Ge channels are
implemented. The steep slope transistors such as tunnel FETs
(TFETs) and negative capacitance FETs have therefore been
proposed to overcome the limitation. The TFETs are most
promising switching devices because of scalability for lower
SS than 60 mV/dec and better compatibility with conventional
integration process. However, there are some difficulties in
decreasing SS while increasing on current as high as that of
conventional FETs. Recently, we have successfully integrated
vertical III-V nanowires on Si and Ge substrates by selective area
growth. The important point for the heterogeneous integration
was to modify the initial Si or Ge surfaces to (111) B-polar and
we demonstrated high performance III-V NW based vertical
FETs using modulation doped core multi shell layers. Beside the
application, we proposed a new tunnel junction based on III-V/
Si interface which is formed by selective area growth of III-V
nanowires (NWs) on Si and demonstrated vertical TFETs with
steep SS. This new tunnel junctions can inherently forms abrupt
heterojunction regardless of precise doping because the band
discontinuity is determined only by the offset of each III-V and
Si. Thus, good gate electrostatic and depletion width controlling
are defined only by the III-V channel region. In this presentation
we report on recent progress in these heterogenous integrations
of III-V nanowires on Si and Ge and device applications such
as the vertical III-V NW FETs on Si/Ge and steep-slope TFETs
using the III-V NW/Si heterojunctions. In TFET application, we
present new approach of increasing tunneling current which is
inherently low current. The new TFET using III-V NW/Si junction
demonstrate rapid current enhancement and exhibit very high
trans conductance efficiency which was much higher than
the physical limitation of Si MOSFET-based analog integrated
circuits.
