| Annotation: | The proposed project is focused on the basic research of the preparation processes and properties ofsemiconducting sulfides of transition metals such as Mo, W and Ni and selected combinations with their oxides inthe form of mixed sulfides and oxides, as well as the possibilities of their doping with noble metals (Pt, Au) for usein gas sensors as well as in supercapacitors. We also anticipate full utilization of semiconductormicroelectronic and micromechanical techniques and micro / nanotechnologies, which can significantly contributeto qualitatively improved detection properties, low operating power consumption of gas sensors as well asincreased energy efficiency and supercapacitor lifetime. |

| Transit2D – Tranzistory na báze 2D kovových chalkogenidov pripravených teplom podporovanou konverziou | |
| Transistors based on 2D Metal Chalcogenides Grown via Thermally Assisted Conversion | |
| Program: | SRDA |
| Project leader: | Ing. Ťapajna Milan, PhD. |
| Annotation: | 2D materials can form one-atom-thick sheets with extraordinary properties. One of the most promising classes of2D materials is the transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs). The transition from an indirect to a direct bandgap,when the bulk materials is thinned down to a monolayer, results in unique electrical and optical properties of 2DTMDs. Post-transition metal chalcogenides (PTMCs) represents another interesting group of 2D materials. Thesematerials have wide band gap and, depending on the structure of the material, show anisotropic electrical andoptical properties. The aim of this project is the fabrication of field-effect transistors with metal-oxide-semiconductorgate (MOSFETs) based on selected TMDs and PTMCs compounds and detail analysis of their transport properties.We will focus on large-area few-layer PtSe2 and GaS/GaSe films grown by thermal assisted conversion, i.e.sulfurization and selenization. Based on the existing experiences, structural, chemical and electrical properties ofhorizontally-aligned PtSe2 films prepared by selenization will be optimized, targeting mobilities similar to thoseprepared by mechanical exfoliation. Then, MOSFET technology using both, top-gate as well as bottom-gateapproach will be developed and optimized. Atomic layer deposition and metal-oxide chemical vapor deposition(MOCVD) will be employed for gate oxide growth. GaS/GaSe few-layer films will be prepared by chalcogenization |

| Program: | VEGA |
| Project leader: | Ing. Kuzmík Ján, DrSc. |
| Annotation: | Gallium Nitride (GaN) compounds are investigated for a new generation of high-frequency transistors, powerelectronics and post CMOS logic circuits. Flexibility in this area is given by a miscibility of In and Al with GaN,providing a wide spectra of semiconductors with a possibility of setting an energy band-gap from 0.65 eV to 6.2eV, with countless combinations of heterostructures. Basis of our project is given by study and mastering of thegrowth of unique material concepts using a metal-organic chemical-vapour deposition (MOCVD) technique. Weaim to investigate: i/ transistors with N-polar InN channel, ii/ MOS contacts on N-polar heterostructures, iii/transistors with a hole conduction, as well as iv/ vertical structures on GaN substrate. Part of the project will berepresented by characterisation activities, like investigation of the electron transport properties in N-polar InN, in MOS structures, study on the 2-dimensional hole gas as well as transient effect in C-doped vertical transistors. |

| NanoMemb-RF – Moderné nanomembránové heteroštruktúry na báze GaAs pre vysoko produktívne vysokofrekvenčné prvky | |
| Advanced GaAs-based nanomembrane heterostructures for highperformance RF devices | |
| Program: | SRDA |
| Project leader: | RNDr. Gregušová Dagmar, DrSc. |
| Annotation: | The main aim of the proposed project is to expand the basic knowledge and to master the fabrication technology ofthe advanced nanomembrane AlGaAs/GaAs heterojunction devices for high-performance RF applications.Insufficient removal of the waste heat in electronic devices due to the Joule losses leading to overheating and earlydevice failure often requires foreign, high thermal conductivity substrates to be employed. As opposed to themainstream research of the GaN-based electronic devices prepared directly on sapphire or SiC, proposed GaAsbased devices will be fabricated upon self-supporting heterostructure nanomembranes transferred onto varioussubstrates. It is very timely, original, and desirable approach to extend the utilization of the GaAs-based devicesmaterial potential, as demonstrated by our preliminary results. |

| p-GaN electronics for energy savings and beyond-CMOS circuits | |
| Program: | SRDA |
| Project leader: | Ing. Kuzmík Ján, DrSc. |
| Annotation: | III-N semiconductors are probably the most versatile and promising semiconductor family, consisted of artificialcompounds made of GaN, AlN and InN. In the project proposal we describe new technological concepts withsufficient freedom to solve main problems of the III-N post-beyond CMOS age: in transistors co-existence of theparasitic n-channel along with the p-channel, as well as low hole gas density and mobility. Similarly, we aim todemonstrate scalable threshold voltage in the enhancement-mode p-doped power transistors, which are needed bythe industry for efficient, energy-saving convertors. In these aspects, our laboratories already showed verypromising results proving the competence to reach described targets. If successfully implemented, results of ourproposed project would represent a significant step forward not only from the world-wide point of view but is also infull agreement with the RIS3 SK (perspective areas of specialization of the Slovak economy), particularly in thefield of semiconductors for electric cars of automotive industry, as well as in information and communicationsciences. |
