چکیده
As continuous geometric scaling of conventional metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors(MOSFETs) are facing many fundamental challenges, therefore, new alternatives has to be introduced to provide high performance integrated chips. This paper gives insight on various recent innovations in device engineering for microelectronics and nanoelectronics. The recent developments are mainly based on new materials and new structures which include strained Si, high-K/metal gate, SOI technology, multiple gates. In the proposed paper concepts beyond CMOS, carbon nanotube FET (CNTFET) and tunnel FET (TFET) are examined which brings a revolutionary change to semiconductor industry.

متن کاملSOFT-ERROR SUSCEPTIBILITY OF FinFET SRAMs
INTRODUCTION For technology scaling beyond 20 nm, FinFET transistors will replace the conventional planar geometry. The driving force for the introduction of FinFET architecture is the superior immunity to short-channel effects and the reduction of the effects of process variation on device performance exhibited by the FinFET.[1-4] Figure 1 shows a comparison of architectures of the planar FET ...

This paper is based on analysis of a common source - common gate low noise transconductance amplifier (CS-CG LNTA). Conventional noise analyses equations are modified by considering to the low output impedance of the sub-micron transistors and also, parasitic gate-source capacitance. The calculated equations are more accurate than calculated equations in other works. Also, analyses show that th...

متن کاملNpn Review and Trends for the Last Decade
INTRODUCTION The last decade has seen a massive device research effort in Si and SiGe NPN bipolar transistors. The fate of Si technology had already been prematurely declared a few years ago when it was estimated that conventional Si NPN devices would never see their cut-off frequencies go beyond the 5-10 GHz range. Surprisingly, the early to mid 90’s has seen an explosion in Si NPN bipolar dev...
