1Productivity
If an MIT transistor is used to overcome short channel effects and enable large current flow, then the transistor can operate at nano size levels with improved current handling capability, but a critical current must be supplied to initiate the MIT phenomenon which complicates the device operation
Solution Approach 1:
A current supplier device is introduced as an intermediary component between the control signal and the MIT transistor. This mediator automatically provides the critical current needed to initiate the MIT phenomenon, eliminating the need for manual critical current supply and simplifying the overall operation of the MIT transistor system
2Area of stationary object
If the transistor size is reduced to nano level to increase integration density, then more devices can be packed into smaller areas, but the short channel effect appears making it hard to operate as a transistor
Solution Approach 1:
The invention changes the operational parameters of the transistor by utilizing the metal-insulator transition phenomenon. By applying a critical current to induce the MIT effect, the transistor can operate reliably at nano dimensions where conventional transistors would suffer from short channel effects, thus maintaining reliability while achieving high integration density
