Abstract :
Scaling of CMOS technology is rapidly approaching inviolate limits of size and speed determined by fundamental physics and device density determined by limits of heat dissipation. An analysis presented in this paper shows that the notion of using adiabatic computing ideas suggested by some as a means to lower energy dissipation of charge-based switches is not a viable approach.
