This article reports an experimental approach to analyze the kink effect phenomenon which is usually observed during GaN high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) operation. De-trapping of charge carriers one prominent reasons behind effect. The commonly non-monotonic behavior pattern analyzed under two different device operating conditions and it found that de-trapping mechanisms are responsible for a particular behavior. These investigated through time delay analysis shows presence traps...

Then, I -V...
Double-Gate MOSFET (DGFET) is one of the promising technologies for sub-50 nm transistor design. To accommodate future technology nodes, dimensions have to be reduced which leads several disadvantages in function. By using double-gate transistors many these problems can resolved give efficient circuit performance. As we go further scaling down, use logic gate design gives significant improvements over conventional single-gate CMOS These are observed by comparing designs a full-adder with and...
