Security and energy are considered as the most important parameters for designing and building a computing system nowadays. Today’s attacks target different layers of the computing system (i.e. software and hardware). Introduction of new transistor technologies to the integrated circuits design is beneficial, especially for low energy requirements. The new devices have unique features and prope...

This study discusses the use of a triple material gate (TMG) junctionless tunnel field-effect transistor (JLTFET) as biosensor to identify different protein molecules. Among plethora existing types biosensors, FET/TFET-based devices are fully compatible with conventional integrated circuits. JLTFETs preferred over TFETs and JLFETs because their ease fabrication superior biosensing performance. ...

In this study, vertical tunnel FET-based ternary CMOS (T-CMOS) is introduced and its electrical characteristics are investigated using TCAD device mixed-mode simulations with experimentally calibrated tunneling parameters. This new T-CMOS utilizes two different types of currents to form three output voltage states: (1) source-to-drain current; (2) conventional source-to-channel current. To a ha...
