Method and system for providing source/drain-gate spatial overlap engineering for low-power devices

摘要

A method and system for providing a semiconductor device on a substrate are disclosed. The method and system include providing a tunneling barrier on the substrate and providing at least one gate on the tunneling barrier. The at least one of gate includes a first edge, a second edge and a base. The method and system further include providing a source and/or a drain for the at least one gate. The source and/or a drain are in proximity to the first edge or the first and second edges of the at least one gate. The at least one gate, the source and/or drain or both the at least one gate and the source and/or drain are configured such that source and/or drain do not substantially overlap the at least one gate at the base of the at least one gate.
