What are Some Techniques to Improve Subthreshold Swing?
Several advanced techniques are being explored to improve SS in nanoscale devices:
Use of High-k Dielectrics: High-k materials can reduce gate leakage and improve SS. FinFETs:FinFET technology, with its three-dimensional structure, offers better control over the channel and can achieve lower SS. SOI Technology: Silicon-on-Insulator (SOI) technology can help reduce short-channel effects, thus improving SS. Multi-Gate Transistors: Devices like Gate-All-Around (GAA) FETs offer superior electrostatic control, leading to better SS.
