A Review of Sharp-Switching Devices for Ultra-Low Power Applications

The reduction of the supply voltage is standard MOSFETs is impeded by the subthreshold slope, which cannot be lowered below 60 mV/decade, even in ideal fully-depleted devices. We review selected CMOS-compatible devices capable of switching more abruptly than MOSFETs, and discuss their merits and lim...
