The trade-off between off-state leakage current and switching delay for impact-ionization MOS transistor (I-MOS) is pointed out and studied for the first time. This trade-off is unique for I-MOS devices, and is related to the self-amplifying carrier multiplication, the exact phenomenon used to be viewed as a merit. Monte-Carlo simulation is performed to study the random process of carrier multiplication...
