| The improved cost heuristic presented in this work takes into account the effect of sizing a given transistor T on many different critical paths in the circuit, based on local information in the neighborhood of T. When used with a TILOS-like algorithm, the heuristic produces layouts with considerably lower active area than layouts generated using the traditional cost heuristics. | |
| It is shown that a floating gate transistor is not a stuck-open transistor and that significative values of quiescent current consumption may exist. | |
26 Citations | The presented RF power transistor is cost effective and can be conveniently applied in the power amplifier integration for RF SoC |
| This paradigm provides a possible route to transistor-less electronics at the nano-scale. | |
| It is shown by measurements on fabricated structures and by numerical device simulations that the current drive capability of such a transistor is comparable to what has been achieved in a conventional transistor with buried layer and plug or in any optimized lateral transistor with buried emitter and collector layers. | |
| In this paper, we propose a structure that improves the OFF state and switching behavior of the transistor without increase in the transistor length. | |
30 Citations | The advantages of this transistor are excellent cutoff characteristics, a small substrate bias effect, and high reliability (compared with the LOCOS-isolated transistor). |
22 Aug 2001 26 Citations | With such comparisons, realistic LER specifications can be made for a given transistor. |
22 Apr 2008 34 Citations | Excess transistor performance can be traded-off for cost by designing out inductors. |
| This device should be priced so that the overall cost of the transistor complement in the particular communication equipment is competitive with the cost of a complement of functionally tested devices. | |
| However, the decrease in transistor count comes at a cost in process tolerance due to the multivalued nature of the device operation. | |
23 Oct 2009 | A transistor that can operate below 0.5 V supply is highly desirable. |
103 Citations | This increase in transistor variability poses a serious challenge to the cost-effective utilization of scaled technologies. |
| The vertical transistor delivers an on current of 0.35 mA/cm2 and an on/off current ratio of around 3000 at 1.8 V. The results prove the feasibility to produce low-voltage organic transistors over a large area with potentially low production cost. | |
| Compared with the field-effect transistor, a source-gated transistor more nearly meets these requirements. | |
| Results indicate a 40% decrease in lot-to-lot variation of transistor performance. | |
| Unfortunately, we are now in a phase where transistor cost and energy consumption are barely scaling, making it necessary to rethink the way we build scalable systems. | |
86 Citations | The authors introduce a source-gated transistor that overcomes some of the fundamental limitations of the field-effect transistor. |
