High Performance CMOS
The phenomenon of negative capacitance (NC) in the ferroelectric-dielectric (FE-DE) based gate stack can provide a novel pathway to achieving sub-60 mV/dec sub-threshold swing in Ferroelectric FETs, and therefore improving the energy-latency product of transistors. Experimentally and theoretically, we are exploring multi domain switching dynamics that highlight the possibility of stabilizing negative capacitance without hysteresis and enable ferroelectric field-effect transistor from internal voltage amplification and associated channel charge boost.
