Abstract
Many different approaches are being explored for information carriers that will enable continued geometrical scaling beyond the estimated physical limits of electron-based devices. In this paper we offer the proposition that as transistor channel length decreases below 5 nm, the mass of the information carrier must rapidly increase if acceptable ON-OFF switch characteristics are to be maintained. Several different possibilities for the realization of sub-5-nm switches are outlined.
