摘要
IC power consumption is not only a package thermal issue but also a significant and fast growing part of the world electricity consumption. A new low voltage transistor could contribute greatly to the need for a new V-dd scaling scenario. Green transistor (gFET) is based on tunneling and provides I-on and I-off far superior to MOSFET at 0.2V if suitable low-E-g material is introduced into IC manufacturing.
