چکیده
This paper examines the apparent limits, possible extensions, and applications of CMOS technology in the nanometer regime. Starting from device scaling theory and current industry projections, we analyze the achievable performance and possible limits of CMOS technology from the point of view of device physics, device technology, and power consumption. Various possible extensions to the basic logic and memory devices are reviewed, with emphasis on novel devices that are structurally distinct from conventional bulk CMOS logic and memory devices. Possible applications of nanoscale CMOS are examined, with a view to better defining the likely capabilities of future microelectronic systems. This analysis covers both data processing applications and nondata processing applications such as RF and imaging. Finally, we speculate on the future of CMOS for the coming 15–20 years.

Guest Editors Introduction: Security of Beyond CMOS Devices: Issues and Opportunities
Aggressive scaling of CMOS in the quest of smaller and faster transistors has brought us into the sub 10-nm technology era with the end of CMOS roadmap in sight. Number of alternative nanoscale devices – both silicon and non-silicon – with interesting switching characteristics have come onto the horizon. They promise to replace CMOS as computing and/or information carrier devices. Effective com...
متن کاملCircuit Techniques for Reducing the Effects of Op-Amp Imperfections: Autozeroing, Correlated Double - Proceedings of the IEEE
In linear IC's fabricated in a low-voltage CMOS technology, the reduction of the dynamic range due to the dc offset and low,frequency noise of the ampli$ers becomes increasingly significant. Also, the achievable aniplijier gain is often quite low in such a technology, since cascoding may not be a practical circuit option due to the resulting reduction of the output signal swing. In this paper, ...

Complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology has been the industry standard to implement Very Large Scale Integrated (VLSI) devices for the last two decades. Due to the consequences of miniaturization of such devices (i.e. increasing switching speeds, increasing complexity and decreasing power consumption), it is essential to replace them with a new technology. Quantum-dot c...
