Gate-all-around junctionless silicon transistors with atomically thin nanosheet channel (0.65 nm) and record sub-threshold slope (43 mV/dec)

A silicon junctionless (JL) trench gate-all-around (GAA) nanowire field-effect transistor with an atomically thin channel thickness of 0.65 nm and a very thin oxide with a thickness of 12.3 nm are demonstrated experimentally. Experimental results indicate that this device with a channel thickness of...

Experimental results indicate that this device with a channel thickness of 0.65 nm achieves a sub-threshold slope (SS) of 43 mV/decade, which is the best yet achieved by any reported JLFET.
