Nanowire metal-oxide semiconductor (MOS) Field-Effect Transistors (FETs) (MOSFETs) employing a nanowire channel structure having rounded nanowire structures is disclosed. To reduce the distance between adjacent nanowire structures to reduce parasitic capacitance while providing sufficient gate control of the channel, the nanowire channel structure employs rounded nanowire structures. For example, the rounded nanowire structures provide for a decreased height from a center area of the rounded nanowire structures to end areas of the rounded nanowire structures. Gate material is disposed around rounded ends of the rounded nanowire structures to extend into a portion of separation areas between adjacent nanowire structures. The gate material extends in the separation areas between adjacent nanowire structures sufficient to create a fringing field to the channel where gate material is not adjacently disposed, to provide strong gate control of the channel even though gate material does not completely surround the rounded nanowire structures.

A terahertz imaging system uses a terahertz light source to illuminate a target object with a series of short pulses of terahertz light. The pulses have a low average output power but a high peak output power, thereby enabling imaging of the suspicious object or person at a safe distance while avoiding injury to the person being imaged. For each pulse, the reflection of the light is imaged by a detector array. The terahertz light pulses are individually narrow band and the emitted pulse train is rapidly tuned in wavelength across a wide frequency range in the terahertz band. Within the terahertz frequency range, molecules have unique absorption spectra. The energy reflected from the illuminated threat object is measured for each of the discrete narrow frequency bands and compared to the absorption spectra of known dangerous materials to determine whether the threat object contains or carries a known dangerous material.
