Abstract: We model transport through two-dimensional topological insulator (TI) nanoribbons. To model the quantum transport, we employ the non-equilibrium Green's function approach. With the presented approach, we study the effect of lattice imperfections on the carrier transport. We observe that the topologically protected edge states of TIs are robust against a high percentage (2%) of vacancy defects. We also investigate tunneling of the edge states in two decoupled TI nanoribbons.

“Ultrascaled graphene-capped interconnects : a quantum mechanical study”. Reyntjens P, Van de Put M, Vandenberghe WG, Sorée B, Proceedings of the IEEE ... International Interconnect Technology Conference
T2 –, IEEE International Interconnect Technology Conference (IITC) / IEEE, Materials for Advanced Metallization Conference (MAM), MAY 22-25, 2023, Dresden, Germany , 1 (2023). http://doi.org/10.1109/IITC/MAM57687.2023.10154656
Abstract: In this theoretical study, we assess the impact of a graphene capping layer on the resistivity of defective, extremely scaled interconnects. We investigate the effect of graphene capping on the electronic transport in ultrascaled interconnects, in the presence of grain boundary defects in the metal layer. We compare the results obtained using our quantum mechanical model to a simple parallel-conductor model and find that the parallel-conductor model does not capture the effect of the graphene cap correctly. At 0.5 nm metal thickness, the parallel-conductor model underestimates the conductivity by 3.0% to 4.0% for single-sided and double sided graphene capping, respectively.

“Quantum transport study of contact resistance of edge- and top-contacted two-dimensional materials”. Deylgat E, Chen E, Sorée B, Vandenberghe WG, International Conference on Simulation of Semiconductor Processes and Devices : [proceedings]
T2 –, International Conference on Simulation of Semiconductor Processes and, Devices (SISPAD), SEP 27-29, 2023, Kobe, Japan , 45 (2023). http://doi.org/10.23919/SISPAD57422.2023.10319537
Abstract: We calculate the contact resistance for an edge- and top-contacted 2D semiconductor. The contact region consists of a metal contacting a monolayer of MoS2 which is otherwise surrounded by SiO2. We use the quantum transmitting boundary method to compute the contact resistance as a function of the 2D semiconductor doping concentration. An effective mass Hamiltonian is used to describe the properties of the various materials. The electrostatic potentials are obtained by solving the Poisson equation numerically. We incorporate the effects of the image-force barrier lowering on the Schottky barrier and examine the impact on the contact resistance. At low doping concentrations, the contact resistance of the top contact is lower compared to edge contact, while at high doping concentrations, the edge contact exhibits lower resistance.
