19.1  INTRODUCTION

Researchers have been predicting limitations to the size scaling for CMOS (complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor)-integrated circuitry for many years. Often, these limits have been overcome and extended to smaller and smaller sizes [1]. However, as the CMOS minimum feature size has continued ...
