Is negative capacitance FET a steep-slope logic switch?

Negative Capacitance field-effect-transistor has long been touted as a steep-slope logic switch. Here, the authors present a lucid formulation that reveals the intrinsic limitation of NC-FETs in achieving steep-slope switching characteristics and highlights their more practical role in saving the vo...

Description
Summary:Negative Capacitance field-effect-transistor has long been touted as a steep-slope logic switch. Here, the authors present a lucid formulation that reveals the intrinsic limitation of NC-FETs in achieving steep-slope switching characteristics and highlights their more practical role in saving the voltage losses in modern FETs.
