With the advent of emerging architectures and focus on application specific design, the transistor cross-section has emerged as an essential scaling component. The research work carried out at IIT Indore has showcased the prominence of cross-sectional area over gate length scaling to achieve a sharp current switching in 3-dimensional junctionless transistor. Junctionless devices with a wider fin and lower aspect ratio are best suited to achieve drain current transition with an almost ideal subthreshold swing. For more details, please click on the link.
