The importance of benchmarking for charge-based and beyond CMOS devices

As it has become physically more difficult and more expensive to extend the performance characteristics of planar CMOS technology, there have been many efforts to create new technologies. Some of these are CMOS extensions, such as Finfet devices. Others are the so-called beyond CMOS devices, which include charge-based logic such as Tunnel FET based systems, others are non-charge based, which include nano-magnetic structures, spintronics devices, advanced charge-based devices and a variety of quantum structures.
