N2 - In this work, to study short-channel effects (SCEs) of our previously proposed nwfet [1] and probe its transport characteristics, we have fabricated devices with sub-100-nm channel length (l) and performed characterization at various temperatures (t). We found, for the first time, that the non-uniform dopant distribution in the gate leads to additional carrier conduction barriers, manifesting themselves in abrupt turn-on characteristics for t below 200 k with subthreshold swing (ss) smaller than what drift-diffusion theory dictates.
