We report a novel fabrication method of graphene Al2O3 gate insulators based on sputtering. Electrical performance of dual-gated mono- and bilayer exfoliated graphene devices is presented. Sputtered Al2O3 layers possess comparable quality…

In this work, we demonstrate scaled back-end-of-line (BEOL) compatible indium oxide (In2O3) transistors by atomic layer deposition (ALD) with channel thickness (Tch) of 1.0-1.5 nm, channel length (Lch) down to 40 nm, and equivalent oxide…

Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) is a promising technique for growing ultrathin, pristine dielectrics on metal substrates, which is essential to many electronic devices. Tunnel junctions are an excellent example which require a leak-free,…

The insulating state is one of the most basic electronic phases in condensed matter. This state is characterised by an energy gap for electronic excitations that makes an insulator electrically inert at low energy. However, for complex…

The interface between the insulating oxides LaAlO3 and SrTiO3 exhibits a superconducting two-dimensional electron system that can be modulated by a gate voltage. While gating of the conductivity has been probed extensively and gating of the…

Phase-transforming ferroelectric materials are widely used in energy harvesting and conversion devices. However, the functionality of these devices is significantly impeded by electrical leakage at high temperatures. In this study, we…

The two-dimensional electron gas occurring between the band insulators SrTiO$_3$ and LaAlO$_3$ continues to attract considerable interest, due to the possibility of dynamic control over the carrier density, and the ensuing phenomena such as…

To form a conducting layer at the interface between the oxide insulators LaAlO3 and SrTiO3, the LaAlO3 layer on the SrTiO3 substrate must be at least four unit-cells-thick. The LaAlO3 SrTiO3 heterointerface thus formed exhibits various…
