Abstract

The integration of multiple functionalities into individual nanoelectronic components is increasingly explored as a means to step up computational power, or for advanced signal processing. Here, we report the fabrication of a coupled nanowire transistor, a device where two superimposed high-performance nanowire field-effect transistors capable of mutual interaction form a thyristor-like circuit. The structure embeds an internal level of signal processing, showing promise for applications in analogue computation. The device is naturally derived from a single NW via a self-aligned fabrication process.
