How low can the sub-threshold swing be in a negative capacitance classical field effect transistor? Ankit Jain

Category: seminar

Scaling of field effect transistors (FETs) may eventually come to an end due to the non-scalability of sub-threshold swing (S); whose minimum value is thermodynamically limited to 60mV/decade at room temperature. It has been shown in the past that a negative capacitance FET (NCFET) can lower S...
