A new technical paper titled “The van der Waals Gap: a Hidden Showstopper in Semiconductor Device Scaling” was published by researchers at TU Wien. Abstract “Continued miniaturization of transistors is critical for sustaining advances in computing performance, energy efficiency, and integration density. A central nanoscale challenge is controlling gate leakage through ultrathin dielectrics. In evaluating... […]
