In the last years the MOS transistor technology has reach very high cut-off frequencies (near to 500 GHz), thanks to the continuous reduction of the channel length, but the short-channel-effects (SCE) strongly affects the MOSFET behavior below 60 nm. For such technology nodes the Multiple-Gate transistor (MuGFET) appears as a promising alternative to continue with the International Technology Roadmap of Semicoductors (ITRS) projections. In this paper, limitations and possible improvements of MuGFETs are presented.
