What Strategies are Used to Mitigate Leakage Currents?
Several strategies can be employed to mitigate leakage currents in nanoscale devices:
Material Engineering: Using materials with higher dielectric constants can help reduce leakage currents by providing better insulation. Device Design: Optimizing device dimensions and structures, such as using FinFETs instead of traditional MOSFETs, can help control leakage. Advanced Lithography: Techniques like EUV lithography can produce more precise and uniform nanoscale features, reducing defects and irregularities that contribute to leakage. Electrostatic Control: Implementing advanced gate control techniques can help manage electric fields and reduce leakage currents.
