Investigation on 10-nm channel-length n-type junctionless variable barrier nanowire transistor

In this paper we simulated and investigated the device characteristics of a novel device structure derived from the junctionless (JL) gate-all-around (GAA) nanowire (NW) transistor, variable barrier transistor (VBT). Basically, VBT is accomplished by the local constrictions at both ends of the chann...
