摘要

A novel complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor inverter with poly-Si nanowire channels is proposed and demonstrated in this letter. The scheme employs a clever tilted-angle implant process in the fabrication; therefore, the formation of the source and drain of both p-channel and n-channel devices requires only one lithographic step. The fabricated n-channel and p-channel field-effect transistors in the inverters show a high ON/OFF current ratio, an acceptable subthreshold swing, and a symmetric driving current, thus enabling the realization of excellent characteristics of the inverters.
