Description

 

A nanotransistor is a transistor whose dimensions are measured in nanometers. Transistors are used for switching and amplifying electronic signals. When combined in the millions and billions, they can be used to create sophisticated programmable information processors.

  1. Notes on the Ballistic MOSFET

    0.0 out of 5 stars 

    Papers | 08 Oct 2005 | Contributor(s):: Mark Lundstrom

    When analyzing semiconductor devices, the traditional approach is to assume that carriers scatter frequently from ionized impurities, phonons, surface roughness, etc. so that the average distance between scattering events (the so-called mean-free-path, λ) is much shorter than the device. When...

    Papers | 27 Nov 2002 | Contributor(s):: Anisur Rahman, Jing Guo, Supriyo Datta, Mark Lundstrom

    Numerical simulations are used to guide the development of a simple analytical theory for ballistic field-effect transistors. When two-dimensional electrostatic effects are small, (and when the insulator capacitance is much less than the semiconductor (quantum) capacitance), the model reduces to...
