Notable achievements include MoS₂ NMOS transistors with a subthreshold slope of less than 75 mV/dec and a maximum drain current of over 900 µA/µm. In comparison, WSe₂ PMOS devices achieved a ...

The machine is constructed from 1094 transistors, with logic in an NMOS configuration, using 10 K pullup resistors. This is not a fast way to build a circuit, but it is very compact.

By Jeremy Zelenko Even as industry moves into the era of the high k metal gate (HKMG) and FinFET transistor, chipmakers continue to seek ways to improve device performance. One of the latest advances ...

So, let’s dive right in and have a look at an NMOS and PMOS transistor, and a CMOS (“complementary,” meaning both P and N MOS transistors are in the circuit) inverter gate (Fig. 1).

For years—decades, in fact—the NMOS transistor world has been on cruise control. NMOS is naturally faster and its performance has scaled better than PMOS. PMOS has had a cost advantage. But lately, it ...

The core of this device is of course the nmos transistor with highly doped N+ source and the thin gate oxide. For the drain region a deep n-well, which has a breakdown voltage of ca. 80 V is added to ...

It's time to dig inside to understand how the internal CPU components are designed. We'll discuss transistors, logic gates, power and clock delivery, design synthesis, and verification.
