Nano-FET Devices: Miniaturization, Simulation, and Applications (Part 1)
Abstract
This textbook provides an overview of next-generation Field-Effect Transistor (FET) technologies at the intersection of nanoelectronics, device miniaturization, and advanced applications. With a special emphasis on the evolution of semiconductor engineering, the book examines the shift from conventional CMOS to emerging FET architectures aimed at extending Moore ' s Law.
Across 18 chapters, the book explores Tunnel FETs (TFETs), carbon-based FETs, and 2D-material transistors, with discussions on performance, scalability, and reliability. It features detailed analyses of advanced device structures such as HJ-DGV-TFETs, dual-pocket step-channel TFETs, and AlGaN/GaN HEMTs, as well as their roles in memory, photonics, and biomedical systems. The use of nanomaterials in biosensor integration and digital circuit design is also a key theme.
Key features:
-Traces technological transitions from CMOS to novel FETs
-Examines nanoengineered device architectures and materials
-Investigates applications in optoelectronics, memory, and biosensing
-Analyzes simulation approaches for performance optimization
-Highlights interdisciplinary innovations across electronics and healthcare.
