Abstract
Unloaded ring-oscillator simulations, performed with a generic process/physics-based compact model for double-gate (DG) MOSFETs and supplemented with model-predicted on-state currents and gate capacitances for varying supply voltages (VDD), are used to show and explain the speed superiority of extremely scaled DG CMOS over the single-gate (e.g., bulk-Si) counterpart. The DG superiority for unloaded circuits is most substantive for low VDD < ~1 V
