Design of ultra low power 1-bit full adder cell for logic devices by Kumar, Abhishek

“…The systems today have negligible oxide thickness and channel length and to deal with that we made a transition from Planar FET to FINFET and eventually now to GAAFET and the sole reason behind doing that is to get a higher gate controllability so that the leakage currents can be reduced and thus eventually power consumption can be reduced. …”
