A comprehensive one-volume reference on current JLFET methods,
techniques, and research
Advancements in transistor technology have driven the modern
smart-device revolution--many cell phones, watches, home appliances*,*
and numerous other devices of everyday usage now surpass the performance
of the room-filling supercomputers of the past. Electronic devices are
continuing to become more mobile, powerful, and versatile in this era of
internet-of-things (IoT) due in large part to the scaling of metal-oxide
semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs). Incessant scaling of
the conventional MOSFETs to cater to consumer needs without incurring
performance degradation requires costly and complex fabrication process
owing to the presence of metallurgical junctions. Unlike conventional
MOSFETs, junctionless field-effect transistors (JLFETs) contain no
metallurgical junctions, so they are simpler to process and less costly
to manufacture.JLFETs utilize a gated semiconductor film to control its
resistance and the current flowing through it. Junctionless
Field-Effect Transistors: Design, Modeling, and Simulation is an
inclusive, one-stop referenceon the study and research on JLFETs
This timely book covers the fundamental physics underlying JLFET
operation, emerging architectures, modeling and simulation methods,
comparative analyses of JLFET performance metrics, and several other
interesting facts related to JLFETs. A calibrated simulation framework,
including guidance on SentaurusTCAD software, enables researchers to
investigate JLFETs, develop new architectures, and improve performance.
