Integrated Atomistic Process and Device Simulation of Decananometre MOSFETs

چکیده
In this paper we present a methodology for the integrated atomistic process and device simulation of decananometre MOSFETs. The atomistic process simulations were carried out using the kinetic Monte Carlo process simulator DADOS, which is now integrated into the Synopsys 3D process and device simulation suite Taurus. The device simulations were performed using the Glasgow 3D statistical atomistic simulator, which incorporates density gradient quantum corrections. The overall methodology is illustrated in the atomistic process and device simulation of a well behaved 35 nm physical gate length MOSFET reported by Toshiba.

A 3D statistical ‘atomistic’ simulation technique has been developed to study the effect of the random dopant induced parameter fluctuations in aggressively scaled MOSFETs. Efficient implementation of the ‘atomistic’ simulation approach has been used to investigate the threshold voltage standard deviation and lowering in the case of uniformly doped MOSFETs, and in fluctuation-resistant architec...

We study the effect of trapping/detrapping of a single-electron in interface states in the channel of n-type MOSFETs with decanano dimensions using 3D atomistic simulation techniques. In order to highlight the basic dependencies, the simulations are carried out initially assuming continuous doping charge, and discrete localized charge only for the trapped electron. The dependence of the random ...

متن کاملOn discrete random dopant modeling in drift-diffusion simulations: physical meaning of 'atomistic' dopants
We investigate the physics behind the ‘atomistic’ dopant model widely used in drift-diffusion (DD) simulators for the study of statistical threshold voltage variations in ultra-small MOSFETs. It is found that the conventional dopant model, when extended to the extreme atomistic regime, becomes physically inconsistent with the concepts of electric potential presumed in DD device simulations. The...
