Junctionless Transistors Ready to Be Next Step at 20 Nanometer Node and Has Better Scaling Properties

Junctionless transistors could be implemented commercially at around the 20-nm manufacturing node. The junctionless transistor scales far better than a conventional transistor which will need to implant and control complex dopant gradients and profiles in diminishing distances. “The junctionless device does scale better. You still need the high resolution etching but you don’t have to …
