  • Topological insulator-based field-effect transistor
    Patent number: 8629427
    Abstract: A Topological INsulator-based field-effect transistor (TINFET) is disclosed. The TINFET includes a first and second gate dielectric layers separated by a topological insulator (TI) layer. A first gate contact is connected to the first gate dielectric layer on the surface that is opposite the TI layer. A second gate contact may be connected to the second gate dielectric layer on the surface that is opposite the TI layer. A first TI surface contact is connected to one surface of the TI layer, and a second TI surface contact is connected to the second surface of the TI layer.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 29, 2011
    Date of Patent: January 14, 2014
    Assignee: Texas A&M University
    Inventors: Sanjay K. Banerjee, Leonard Franklin Register, II, Allan MacDonald, Bhagawan R. Sahu, Priyamvada Jadaun, Jiwon Chang
