Abstract
Scaling of CMOS devices has a strong impact on transistors and, thus, also on the operation of Adiabatic Logic. The impact of scaling is estimated by means of simulation of industrial and predictive technology models and a trend for scaling down to the 16 nm node is presented. Revolutionary transistor concepts like the Carbon Nanotube Transistor and the Vertical Slit Field Effect Transistor show promising properties. The impact of those new devices on Adiabatic Logic is explained. Besides favorable properties also unwanted effects accompany the miniaturization of the devices in the nanometer regime. Stress effects like Hot-Carrier Injection and the Bias Temperature Instability degrade the device performance continuously. The outcome of the worsening of the devices is rated for Adiabatic Logic and a comparison to static CMOS is stated.
