Although transistors in top-end chips migrated from planar to the FinFET architecture in the 2010s, planar is still used in microcontrollers, IoT sensors, analog chips and other low-cost circuits.

Abstract— Today’s on-chip Analog/Mixed-Signal and RF (A/RF) systems have reached a limit of size and complexity where transistor-level SPICE and FastSPICE simulation approaches cannot deliver a ...

The researchers say that this allows the MMT to operate at a higher speed than comparable devices and to have a linear dependence between input and output for ultra-compact digital-to-analog ...
