Abstract

In this study, we demonstrate the performance of silicon nanowire (SiNW)n-metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) and p-MOS ratioed inverters that are fabricated on bendable substrates. The electrical characteristics of the fabricateddevices can be controlled by adjusting the load voltage. The logic swings of then- and p-MOS ratioed inverters at a low supply voltage of 1 V are 80% and 96%, respectively. The output voltage level of the p-MOS ratioed inverter is close to rail-to-rail operation. The device also exhibits stable characteristics with goodfatigue properties. Our bendable SiNW ratioed inverters show promise asa candidate building block for future bendable electronics. [Figure not available: see fulltext.]
