Abstract
Thin-body transistors with silicide source/drains were fabricated with gate-lengths down to 15 nm. Complementary low-barrier silicides were used to reduce contact and series resistance. Minimum gate-length transistors with T/sub ox/=40 /spl Aring/ show PMOS |I/sub dsat/|=270 /spl mu/A//spl mu/m and NMOS |I/sub dsat/|=190 /spl mu/A//spl mu/m with V/sub ds/=1.5 V, |V/sub g/-V/sub t/|=1.2 V and, I/sub on//I/sub off/>10/sup 4/. A simple transmission model, fitted to experimental data, is used to investigate effects of oxide scaling and extension doping.

Carbon nanotube electronics

TL;DR: In this paper, single-wall carbon nanotube field effect transistors (CNFETs) operating at gate and drain voltages below 1V were investigated and it was shown that CNFET operation is controlled by Schottky barriers (SBs) in the source and drain region instead of by the nanotubes itself.
