-- Aggressive CMOS scaling results in low threshold voltage and thin oxide thickness for transistors manufactured in deep submicron regime. As a result, reducing the subthreshold a...
Gate oxide tunneling current (Igate) is emerging as a key roadblock for device scaling in nanometer-scale CMOS circuits. A practical means to reduce Igate is to leverage dual Tox ...
