Abstract

In a recent survey of the exploratory device literature (1), Theis and Solomon studied proposed low-voltage digital devices, and identified the underlying operating principles which enable those devices to overcome the voltage-scaling limit of the conventional field effect transistor. Here, I briefly summarize the status of the ongoing device research, and argue that the operating principles exemplified by these devices are quite general, and can be applied in ways that have not yet been explored. It is therefore likely that we are still in the early stages of the quest for a fast, low-voltage digital switch.
