16. All calculations and geometry optimizations were performed using density functional theory (DFT) programs DMOL3 from Accelrys, Inc. The DFT exchange-correlation potential was evaluated within the generalized gradient approximation using Perdew-Wang-91 for correlation. A double numeric polarization basis set was used, and each basis function was restricted to a real space cutoff of 5.5 Å. The ZnO and SiC bulk crystals were first geometrically optimized to determine the equilibrium atomic positions and lattice constants. Next, (0001) planes of ZnO and SiC were cleaved, followed by construction of 3D periodic slabs where the top and bottom 3-5 layers respectively were constrained to mimic the presence of a semi-infinite crystalline material. Geometry optimization and interfacial interaction energy were then performed and calculated.

26. -3 or higher leads to a depletion layer, width on the order of 10 nm or less. With less doping, the central portion is simply depleted and the n-portion is eliminated. In either case, only the p-portion of the channel contributes to the conduction.
27. ds while the channel-drain junction is in the Schottky reverse direction. This would result in very little conduction. If the channel is p-type, the source-channel junction is ohmic, and the channel-drain junction is in the Schottky forward direction, resulting in substantial conduction. Thus, we should expect significant contribution of conduction from the p-portion, but negligible from the n-portion of the p-VSG-FET, as shown schematically in Figure 4d.
