Submicron MOSFET performance at liquid nitrogen temperatures

Conclusions of a study on submicron silicon gate MOSFET performance, indicating that 0.5μm devices operating at liquid nitrogen temperatures afford twice the speed and reduced sensitivity to power supply voltage than sub-0.25μm devices at room temperatures, will be discussed. Test devices using double-implanted lightly-doped drains were used in the anaylsis.
