Low Temperature Logic Technology (LTLT)

Abstract

The Low Temperature Logic Technology (LTLT) program is exploiting the unique device and material performance characteristics of state-of-the-art silicon transistors at cryogenic temperatures. Current silicon transistors are performance and power limited when operating at room temperature or higher. This program mitigates these limitations through modifying the design of existing silicon transistors to optimize their performance at cryogenic temperatures. These devices will be compatible with current complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) fabrication process flows and will offer significant increases in performance and power efficiency over room temperature devices. Basic research for this program is funded within PE 0601101E, Project ES-02.
