Vertical GAA Silicon Nanowire Transistor with Impact of Temperature on Device Parameters

In this paper, we present a vertical wire NMOS device fabricated using CMOS compatible processes. The impact of temperature on various device parameters is investigated in view of usual increase in surrounding temperature with device density.
