Signals propagated in actual and future IC's interconnections are spreading, in terms of spectrum frequency, from DC to microwave domain because of the continually increasing clock frequencies of circuits. So,

The Gate-All-Around SOI transistor [1], in which the gate oxide and the gate electrode are wrapped around the semiconductor region between the source and drain electrodes, exhibits very attractive features
