This paper describes several methodologies based on a pulsed laser beam to reveal the architecture of a high integrated SDRAM, and the different classes of Single Event Effects that can occur due to cosmic radiations. At cell level, laser is used to reveal an important technological parameter: the lithography process. At memory array level, laser is a powerful tool to retrieve cell physical arrangements,...
While the potential of FinFETs for large-scale integration (LSI) was demonstrated before on relaxed device dimensions, in this paper we present performance data of aggressively scaled transistors, ring oscillators and SRAM cells. FinFET SRAMs are shown to have excellent VDD scalability (SNM=185 mV at 0.6 V), enabling sub-32 nm low-voltage design.
The power consumption and the matching will be the principal issues at the 32 nm node and below. In this context, Ultra-Thin Body devices are extensively studied for the end-of-roadmap CMOS. In this paper we present the SON technology, leading to the simple fabrication of sustained mono-Si nano-membranes over an empty tunnel, and discuss on the application of this process to build-up electronic devices...
Transconductance (gm) enhancement in n-type and p-type nanowire field-effect-transistors (nwFETs) is demonstrated by introducing controlled tensile strain into channel regions by pattern dependant oxidation (PADOX). Values of gm are enhanced relative to control devices by a factor of 1.5 in p-nwFETs and 3.0 in n-nwFETs. Strain distributions calculated by a three-dimensional molecular dynamics simulation...
Novel 3D stacked gate-all-around multichannel CMOS architectures were developed to propose low leakage solutions and new design opportunities for sub-32 nm nodes. Those architectures offer specific advantages compared to other planar or non planar CMOS devices. In particular, ultra-low IOFF (< 20 pA/mum) and high ION (> 2.2 mA/mum) were demonstrated. Moreover, those transistors do not suffer...
