Abstract: Negative-Capacitance Field-Effect Transistor (NCFET) is emerging as a promising new technology with various advantages as well as new challenges compared to conventional CMOS technology. NCFET technology can operate at lower voltage while they may still provide the same level of performance. While the exact trade-offs are still to be explored, it is obvious that lower power designs are possible. However, employing NCFET technology will have significant effect on circuits, architecture and system level management techniques. For example, as opposed to conventional CMOS technology there is an asymmetry in the on-current that needs to be addressed at the circuit level. Another example is the power consumption: particularly the leakage current has an inverse tendency as a function of the supply voltage. That means that conventional power management techniques for multi-core will not work any longer since they would lead to sub-optimal results depending on system-level workload properties. These are some examples of the implications at the architectural and system level that will be discussed during this talk after a short general introduction to NCFET.
