The importance of multi-gate structures lies in their ability to overcome the scaling limitations of traditional CMOS technology. By using multiple gates, these transistors offer:
1. Improved Electrostatic Control: Multi-gate structures provide better electrostatic control over the channel, which helps in reducing short-channel effects. 2. Reduced Leakage Currents: Enhanced control leads to lower leakage currents, making these transistors more energy-efficient. 3. Higher Drive Currents: The multiple gates allow for higher drive currents, which translates to better performance.
