Is Bigger Always Better? Explore the Behavior of Very Small Devices
as Described by Quantum Mechanics Smaller is better when it comes
to the semiconductor transistor. Nanoscale Silicon Devices examines
the growth of semiconductor device miniaturization and related
advances in material, device, circuit, and system design, and
highlights the use of device scaling within the semiconductor
industry. Device scaling, the practice of continuously scaling down
the size of metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors
(MOSFETs), has significantly improved the performance of small
computers, mobile phones, and similar devices. The practice has
resulted in smaller delay time and higher device density in a chip
without an increase in power consumption. This book covers recent
advancements and considers the future prospects of nanoscale
silicon (Si) devices. It provides an introduction to new concepts
(including variability in scaled MOSFETs, thermal effects,
spintronics-based nonvolatile computing systems, spin-based qubits,
magnetoelectric devices, NEMS devices, tunnel FETs, dopant
engineering, and single-electron transfer), new materials (such as
high-k dielectrics and germanium), and new device structures in
three dimensions. It covers the fundamentals of such devices,
describes the physics and modeling of these devices, and advocates
further device scaling and minimization of energy consumption in
future large-scale integrated circuits (VLSI). Additional coverage
includes: Physics of nm scaled devices in terms of quantum
mechanics Advanced 3D transistors: tri-gate structure and thermal
effects Variability in scaled MOSFET Spintronics on Si platform
NEMS devices for switching, memory, and sensor applications The
concept of ballistic transport The present status of the transistor
variability and more An indispensable resource, Nanoscale Silicon
Devices serves device engineers and academic researchers (including
graduate students) in the fields of electron devices, solid-state
physics, and nanotechnology.
