Performance Evaluation Of Emerging Semiconductor Devices For Low Power Applications: A Review

The semiconductor industry has changed the way of living that was never ever imagined, now with help of semiconductor material it becomes possible to send data in milliseconds. Semiconductor material are the main blocks of the industry. All the chips that are currently manufactured are lightweight, reliable, speed and low power consumption devices and is made up of semiconductors. These days semiconductor industry has been gaining an immense demand with regard to design of ultra-low power and better performance semiconductor components for the consistent procedure of scaling down of metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) and metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFETs and CMOS).Various technologies like fin field effect transistor (FinFET), carbon Nano tube-based semiconductor (CNTFET), tunnel field effect transistor, high electron mobility transistors (HEMT) also referred as heterostructure FET (HFET) or modulation doped field effect transistor (MODFET), nanowire and many other things are currently being developed to solve the challenge of both low cost and low-power requirements. This paper will review how these devices can be miniaturize as much as possible without affecting the power consumption requirement. Also in depth understanding of how the current advent of IoT, 5G and other technologies are being developed using low cost and low power semiconductor devices is discussed.
