In this paper, for the first time, we have investigated the DC, analog/RF, and linearity metrics of asymmetric spacer junctionless (JL) Gate-All-Around (GAA) vertically stacked nanowire field-effect-transistor (FET) for significantly enhanced performance at sub-5 nm nodes. The symmetric and asymmetric spacer lengths are optimized and compared towards the improvement of subthreshold swing (SS) and switching () behavior with various spacer dielectrics. For optimal values of source () and drain () spacer lengths, the device ratio has an improvement of 22.69% and a reduction in by 34.13% as compared to other variations. Our study reveals that, in symmetric spacer variations the device exhibits superior performance with . However, compared to symmetric, the asymmetric spacer exhibits higher and lower SS with and . Moreover, scaling impact on SS, DIBL, , and are reported with various spacers. The optimized asymmetric spacer exhibits excellent DC characteristics with SS of 64 mV/dec and ratio of even for 5 nm gate length () ensures fundamental scaling. At of 10 nm with asymmetric spacer, a cut-off frequency () = 0.4 THz, gain-bandwidth product (GBW) = 0.08 THz, and intrinsic delay = 1.3 ps are achieved. Finally, the device exhibits second order harmonic () = 0.2 mA/ and third order harmonic () = 1.1 mA/ at nano-regime. Thus optimally designed JL nanowire FET ensures potential candidate towards low-power, high frequency, and better linearity for future technology nodes.
