New devices for internet of things: A circuit level perspective

This paper discusses the criteria a new device has to meet in order to surpass the capabilities of MOSFET in realizing internet-of-things circuits. The main challenge in the latter circuits is to maintain sufficient (10-100 MHz) speed performance while minimizing both static and dynamic energy consumption. The main criteria in terms of supply voltage and current capability are discussed. Next additional features of classic CMOS devices that should be preserved are described.
