We present simulation results of a silicon-based metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET), which has a structure similar to that of a conventional MOSFET, but the source and drain regions are now entirely replaced by metals. By using abrupt metal/silicon Schottky junctions, short-channel effects are avoided. Based on a few commonly used physical assumptions, we have calculated the transistor characteristics, and we find that this new three-terminal transistor can offer gain and impedance isolation, desirable for logic circuit applications
