Negative capacitance field-effect transistors (NCFETs) represent a transformative approach in the design of low-power electronic devices. By integrating ferroelectric materials into the gate structure ...
Ferroelectrics are getting a serious re-examination, as chipmakers look for new options to maintain drive current. Ferroelectric materials can provide non-volatile memory, serving an important ...
Australian researchers have discovered that negative capacitance could lower the energy used in electronics and computing, which represents 8% of global electricity demand. The researchers at four ...
Transistors or “microchips” partially explain why our paper-thin laptops can perform much more complicated tasks than their clumsy, gigantic predecessors. To maximize computing capabilities, engineers ...
An ultrathin ferroelectric capacitor, designed by researchers from Japan, demonstrates strong electric polarization despite being just 30 nm thick including top and bottom electrodes—making it ...
It has been long known that complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) transistors suffer from a scaling issue. As CMOS field-effect transistors (FETs) get smaller, they become less power ...
A new technical paper titled “Insights Into Design Optimization of Negative Capacitance Complementary-FET (CFET)” was published by researchers at National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University. “This work ...
(Nanowerk News) In the ongoing quest to make electronic devices ever smaller and more energy efficient, researchers want to bring energy storage directly onto microchips, reducing the losses incurred ...
