As transistors are scaled down in the nanoscale regime, quantum effects are playing a crucial role in device performance and parameters. Also, scaling alone is not sufficient to achieve performance improvement, and new boosters and device concepts are needed. For instance, the trade-off between power and performance in electronics ...
