Vacuum-Channel Transistor
A vacuum channel transistor is a [transistor] that instead of using a semiconductor as a channel uses vacuum as a channel. The vacuum channel transistors are expected to perform better than the solid-state transistors.

Different geometry of the vacuum channel transistors: MOS with holes, lateral geometry, all-around gate, vertical channel.

Self notes:

Use the table show in the information material of the paper [2017] for comparing the performance of various vacuum channel transistors.

1. First paper published on April 2012 reporting a working vacuum channel transistor

2. Second paper published on April 2012 reporting a working vacuum channel transistor

3. A third paper published on 2014 reporting a new design of vacuum channel transistor.

4. Recent article published on March 2017 on a new desing of vacuum channel transistor

History
