Cryogenic CMOS technology has a crucial role in large-scale integrated circuits and quantum computing. However, effective thermal management of cryo-CMOS presents new challenges, requiring in-depth studies of size effects and coherent modulation of phonon transport, and a rethinking of strategies and analytical tools to properly address these complex physical phenomena.
