Abstract
The potential for negative-capacitance field-effect transistors (NCFETs) to enhance the unity-current-gain cutoff frequency <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">${f}_{T}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> and <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">${g}_{m}{f}_{T}/{I}_{D}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> ratio through a technique that mitigates the impacts of extrinsic parasitic capacitances is investigated, where <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">${g}_{m}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> is the transconductance and <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">${I}_{D}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> is the dc drain current and where “extrinsic” refers to elements arising outside an “intrinsic” or core transistor structure. We explain the technique and show that NCFETs can provide significant gains in extrinsic <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">${f}_{T}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> and <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">${g}_{m}{f}_{T}/{I}_{D}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> from this mitigation effect. However, an inherent degradation of intrinsic <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">${f}_{T}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> needs to be addressed to maximize these benefits, and this degradation can be alleviated through channel-length scaling as well as supply- and threshold-voltage tuning. The relative influences of different extrinsic parasitic elements are also evaluated, and it is found that improvements to <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">${f}_{T}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> and <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">${g}_{m}{f}_{T}/{I}_{D}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> increase as extrinsic parasitic capacitance increases and decrease as extrinsic parasitic resistance increases. Overall, this work finds that NCFET structures are promising candidates to mitigate the impacts of extrinsic parasitics in aggressively scaled transistors for the next-generation RF applications.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
