Abstract
A vertical charge ordered transistor is disclosed. A thin charge ordered layer is employed as a tunnel barrier between two electrodes. A gate-induced accumulation of charge destabilizes the charge ordered state around the circumference of the device, opening up a parallel ohmic conduction channel, which leads to an exponential increase in source-drain current. VCOT devices have the potential to exhibit very large on/off ratios, low off-state currents, and sub-threshold slopes below 60 mV/dec.
