In this work, we investigated effects of high pressure hydrogen annealing (HPHA) to improve the device performance of Si NW MOSFET devices with multi channels on SOI wafer using top down method which may be more compatible to CMOS process.
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.
A non-classical device structure namely self-aligned quasi-silicon-on-insulator (SOI) metal-oxide semiconductor (MOS) field-effect transistor with pi-shaped semiconductor conductive layer (SA-piFET) is presented, seeking to improve the performance and upgrade the reliability of the SOI-based devices. Designed to equip with a SA single crystal silicon channel layer, plus a natural source/drain (S/D)...
This work aims to examine and analyze carefully the effects of block oxide length (LBO) in a 40 nm multi-substrate-contact field-effect transistor (MSCFET). In addition, the proposed structure is based on the self-aligned (SA) gate-to-body technique. In the MSCFET design the two key parameters are the length and the height of the block oxide which are so sensitive to the short-channel effects (SCEs)...
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...
This paper presents an analytical modeling of ballistic and quasi-ballistic transport, implemented in Verilog-A environment and used for circuit simulation. Our model is based on the Lundstrompsilas approach and uses an expression of the backscattering coefficient given by the flux method. The model takes also into account short channel effects and tales into account the effects of different scattering...
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...
We demonstrate midgap and band-edge effective workfunctions (EWFs) control with simple metal gate process scheme (singlemetalgate/singlegatedielectric), using impurity-segregated NiSi2/SiON structure for embedded memory application. The application of midgap and band-edge EWF enables us to lower power consumption in SRAM and logic devices by 30% and 15% compared to poly-Si devices, respectively,...
