New State Variable Opportunities Beyond CMOS: A System Perspective

HERE is an international effort underway to discover a replacement for the CMOS transistor which will, within about one decade, not submit to further feature size scaling. There are many different candidates to replace the CMOS FET, but according to ITRS [1], none of them appear at this time to offer functional properties that are universally superior to the extremely scaled FET.
