Several factors influence the subthreshold swing in nanotechnology:
Temperature: SS is directly proportional to temperature, meaning it increases with rising temperature. Dielectric Material: The choice of the gate dielectric can significantly impact SS. High-k dielectrics can help reduce the SS. Channel Length: Shorter channel lengths can lead to increased SS due to short-channel effects. Doping Concentration: The doping profile of the channel also plays a role. Higher doping concentrations can lead to a lower SS.
