A team of Chinese researchers has developed the world’s smallest ferroelectric transistor with ultralow power consumption, offering new insights into progress in the semiconductor industry, according to a study published recently in the journal Science Advances. In advanced semiconductor manufacturing processes, the operating voltage of logic chips has been reduced to 0.7 volts to achieve high energy efficiency. However, mainstream non-volatile memory, such as NAND flash, previously required 5 volts or higher to complete write operations. This mismatch lead to the integration of complex circuits for voltage step-up or step-down to enable collaboration between logic and memory units. Such integration…
