The tunneling width of logic functions is narrower when the ITC is positive and wider when it is negative, and the effective sub-threshold slopes (SS) have been examined. It has been discovered that positive ITCs can enhance device capabilities, while negative ITCs lead to diminishing functionality.

The lack of rigorous theoretical derivation poses challenges in ensuring the reliability of neural network output results, thereby limiting its application in electromagnetic problems.

The proposed approach adaptively updates the initial structure to enhance the performance of the pixel antenna design, aiming to find the optimal initial pixel structure that achieves miniaturization and broadband capabilities. In general, the design procedure starts with an initial structure with relatively big element size and small overall size, then gradually reduces the element size and expands the overall size of the pixel area.
