Popis: Symmetric Lateral Bipolar Nano Scale Transistor has emerged as a promising device for future low power digital and mixed signal circuits with application in NEMS. This novel device has shown promising results in terms of Voltage-transfer-characteristics and butterfly curves for digital applications [2, 10]. It has shown better cut-off frequency and gain for low power mixed signals circuits. This paper explores further the effect of biasing the substrate beneath the symmetric lateral bipolar transistors on buried oxide (BOX). This device introduces, in addition to the three conventional terminals, a fourth terminal which provides a better means to control the performance for analog applications. We observed improvement in gain, cut-off frequency and leakage current by introducing an external bias to the fourth terminal of the nano lateral bipolar device for low power mixed signal circuits particularly for applications in NEMS.
