The Operating Voltage Range of the Transistor

Caption

The shaded area of 150 mV is the operating voltage range of the transistor, which is much narrower than the operating range of conventional silicon transistors (500mV). The subthreshold swing (slope of the characteristic) of the proposed transistor is also significantly higher than the limiting slope that can potentially be gained from MOSFETs (metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors). This limiting slope is shown as a dotted line on the inset image.
