Since the 1960s, the density of transistors in integrated circuits has followed Moore’s law, doubling approximately every two years. However, with the increasing density and speed of the devices, the ...

Tunneling field-effect transistors (TFETs) exploit quantum mechanical band-to-band tunnelling to overcome the thermionic limit on subthreshold swing, promising orders-of-magnitude reductions in power ...

With the right mix of materials, TFETs promise cooler, smaller, and more efficient circuits for everything from the Internet of Things to brain-inspired computers. But before they can leave the lab, ...
