TL;DR: In this paper, a 45 nm logic technology is described that for the first time incorporates high-k + metal gate transistors in a high volume manufacturing process, resulting in the highest drive currents yet reported for NMOS and PMOS.

TL;DR: In this paper, a leading-edge 90-nm technology with 1.2-nm physical gate oxide, 45-nm gate length, strained silicon, NiSi, seven layers of Cu interconnects, and low/spl kappa/CDO for high-performance dense logic is presented.

TL;DR: The results of this benchmarking exercise indicate that while these novel nanoelectronic devices show promise and opportunities for future logic applications, there still remain shortcomings in the device characteristics and electrostatics that need to be overcome.

TL;DR: In this article, a tensile Si nitride-capping layer is used to introduce tensile uniaxial strain into the n-type MOSFET and enhance electron mobility.

TL;DR: Fully depleted tri-gate CMOS transistors with 60 nm physical gate lengths on SOI substrates have been fabricated in this article, where the transistors show near-ideal subthreshold gradient and excellent DIBL behavior, and have drive current characteristics greater than any non-planar devices reported so far, for correctly-targeted threshold voltages.
