  • Abstract
    In summary, as we move it 15 nm and beyond, it is critical that the device structure fit in ever smaller footprint. It seems that Si devices can fulfill this key requirement: moving from thick body devices to thin body and ultimately to Si nano-wires, in order to enable small gate length devices. This is the good news. Better news could be if we are able to find a device that can do better than Silicon MOSFET.
