This research explores a comprehensive examination of gate underlap incorporated strained channel Cylindrical Gate All Around Nanowire FET having enriched performances above the requirement of the 2 nm technology node of IRDS 2025. The device installs a combination of strain engineering based quantum well barrier system in the channel region with high-k spacers sandwiching the device underlaps and stack high-k gate-oxide. The underlaps are prone to parasitic resistance and various short channel effects (SCEs) hence, are sandwiched by HfO based high-k.

The development of optically transparent antenna (OTA) has made it possible to deploy antennas on delicate surfaces such as glass. Earlier studies on OTA demonstrated its viability using materials such as transparent conducting oxides (TCO) and conductive polymers.

The system installs Type-II hetero-strain alignment in the channel attesting itself as the fastest operating device debasing the SCEs at nano regime. The ultra-thin strained-channel comprises of two cylindrical s-Si wells encompassing s-SiGe barrier in between, which enables improvement of carrier mobility by succumbing of quantum charge carriers in the region.

This leads to performance degradation of the devices, which inhibits further scaling of nanoFETs, deterring the progress of semiconductor industries. Therefore, research has not kept pace with the technological requirements of the International Roadmap for Devices and Systems (IRDS).

The proposed antenna is constructed from four microstrip circular patch elements fed by a 50-Ω microstrip line. Two metamaterial cell elements, in the form of a rectangular concentric double split ring resonator (SRR), are placed at the upper plane of the substrates for bandwidth improvement and isolation enhancement.

The CNT nanoparticles are functionalized with metallic oxides such as Cobalt oxide, Iron oxide, and Cobalt Iron oxide, at three different concentrations. Metallic oxides are used at 5%, 10%, and 20% concentration of the total CNT percentage weight.
