Abstract
For original paper see ibid., vol.13, no.1, pp.44-6 (Jan. 1992). The commenter disagrees with the suggestion by S. Venkatesan, et al. that dual-channel volume inverted devices do not offer significant current-enhancement advantages, other than that expected from the second channel, over the conventional single-channel devices for silicon thicknesses in the 0.1- mu m range. The commenter argues that this suggestion is in contradiction with previous demonstrations and with recent results that experimentally show the advantages of volume inversion. In replying, Venkatesan, et al., maintain that, while volume inversion could cause drain current enhancements in the near threshold region, it does not significantly affect the device characteristics in the strong inversion regime.Keywords
