Vacuum-Channel Transistor

edit

A vacuum channel transistor is a [transistor] that instead of using a semiconductor as a channel uses vacuum as a channel. The vacuum channel transistors are expected to perform better than the solid-state transistors.

Different geometry of the vacuum channel transistors: MOS with holes, lateral geometry, all-around gate, vertical channel.

Self notes:

Use the table show in the information material of the paper [2017] for comparing the performance of various vacuum channel transistors.
