Over decades, MOSFET gate length scaling has been the main source of progress in semiconductor electronics. Today, however, the motivation of the industry to continue gate length scaling is declining. On the other hand, researchers still spend considerable efforts on reducing the gate length and on developing ultimately scaled MOSFETs. To this end, both new device architectures and alternative channel materials are explored. In the present paper, the future of CMOS scaling in the light of emerging 2D channel materials is discussed
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
