Different Constraints for Different Application Fields
- Portable devices: Battery life-time
- Telecom and military: Reliability
(reduced power decreases electromigration, hence increases reliability)
- High volume products: Unit cost
(reduced power decreases packaging cost)

Practical limit because of off-leakage between S and D?
Lg = 5 nm?

Lg = 2 ~ 1.5 nm?
But, no one knows future!

By Robert Chau, IWGI 2003 0.8 nm Gate Oxide Thickness MOSFETs operates 0.8 nm: Distance of 3 Si atoms!!
So, we are now in the limitation Of Scaling? Do you believe this or do not????
There is a solution! To use high-k dielectrics
Thin gate SiO2 Thick gate high-k dielectrics Almost the same electric characteristics However, very difficult and big challenge! Remember MOSFET had not been realized without Si/SiO2!
K: Dielectric Constant

Choice of High-k elements for oxide
HfO2 based dielectrics are selected as the first generation materials, because of their merit in 1) band-offset, 2) dielectric constant 3) thermal stability La2O3 based dielectrics are thought to be the next generation materials, which may not need a thicker interfacial layer

Graphene Device
Graphene Device Electronics(??)
- A study of how electrons behave in
circuitry made from ultrathin layers of graphite – known as graphene – suggests the material could provide the foundation for a new generation of nanometer scale devices that manipulate electrons as waves – much like photonic systems control light waves.

Tunneling Effect
Coulomb Blockade
- a Coulomb blockade
is the increased resistance at small bias voltage of an electronic device comprising at lease
- ne low-capacitance
tunnel junction.
Bottom-Up
Self Assembly
- Applicatoins: solar cell, light-emitting
diodes, capsule in drug delivery system
Chemical Colloidal Method
Lithography and Etching
- Lithography: electron beam, ion beam,
nanoimprint, dip pen nanolithography
- Etching: wet etching, dry etching, plasma,
implantation, photo etching
Split-gate Approach
- Use additional voltage to create 2
dimensional confinements to control the shape and size of the quantum dot’s gate.
- It’s a combination of e beam lithography,
evaporation, lift off, contact annealing
Limitations of CMOS in ~ 10 years
