Overcoming Short Channel Barrier Effects of Field Effect Transistors

A design tool for overcoming short channel barrier effects of field effect transistors (FET).

Background:

The semiconductor industry constantly pushes innovation, demanding research and development into new materials, manufacturing processes, and designs.  Silicon is the most widely used semiconductor material in the electronic industry, so there is a constant market demand for high functioning and lower cost silicon-based computer chips. This technology introduces a superior chip design.

Technology Overview:

This technology provides a tool to reduce the short channel effects in field effect transistors (FET). In depth simulation data substantiates a mechanism to change the energy profile of a FET, allowing reduction of energy consumption in various formats of transistors, including FETs, finFET, MOSFET, GAAFET and Resonance Tunneling Transistors.
