Comparative example 1
This comparative example provides a surrounding gate field effect transistor which differs from the surrounding gate field effect transistor provided in example 1 in that: the nanowires do not have thermal holes.
Test examples
Simulation was performed on the gate-around field effect transistor provided in example 1 and the gate-around field effect transistor provided in comparative example 1 by using simulation software, in which the voltage of the gate electrode layer was 2V, and the material of the heat sink in the gate-around field effect transistor provided in example 1 was diamond. The results are shown in FIG. 15. In the figure, the horizontal axis represents the drain voltage, the unit of which is V; the vertical axis represents the drain-source output current density, which has a unit of MA/cm 2 . As can be seen from fig. 15, the output characteristic curve of the surrounding gate field effect transistor provided in comparative example 1 starts to decrease after a voltage of 2V (i.e., point a) as the drain voltage increases, because the device performance deteriorates due to the temperature rise in the surrounding gate field effect transistor; with the increase of the drain voltage, the output characteristic curve of the surrounding gate field effect transistor provided in embodiment 1 does not decrease in the drain-source output current density after the voltage 2V (i.e., point a), but remains in a steady state, because the heat in the surrounding gate field effect transistor is transferred by the heat sink and the internal temperature thereof is within a normal range, the device can normally operate. In addition, it is to be noted that embodiment 1 provides a drain-source output current of a surrounding gate field effect transistorThe density gradually increases.
