Abstract:
1. A field effect transistor circuit, comprising: a. a first nano-bowl structure, including a conductive substrate, an insulating layer disposed on the conductive substrate, a nano-bowl disposed on the insulating layer and an elongated nanostructure extending from the conductive substrate through the insulating layer into the nano-bowl and electrically isolated from the nano-bowl; and b. a second nano-bowl structure, in vertical alignment with the first nano-bowl structure, the second nano-bowl structure including a conductive substrate, an insulating layer disposed on the conductive substrate, a nano-bowl disposed on the insulating layer and an elongated nanostructure extending from the conductive substrate through the insulating layer into the nano-bowl and electrically isolated from the nano-bowl, whereby when a first electrical potential is applied to the substrate of the first nano-bowl structure; a second electrical potential, different from the first electrical potential, is applied to the nano-bowl of the first nano-bowl structure; and a third electrical potential, different from the first electrical potential, is applied to the substrate of the second nano-bowl structure, then the substrate of the first nano-bowl structure acts as a source, the nano-bowl of the first nano-bowl structure acts as a gate, and the substrate of the second nano-bowl structure acts as a drain.
