Comparison of the multi-gate functionality of SGrFETs with finFETs

چکیده
Two-dimensional (2D) technology computer-aided design (TCAD) is used to analyze and compare the multi-gate digital performance of the screen-grid field effect transistor (SGrFET) with a finFET. The switching speed of the all-n-type inverter is ten times faster for the n-SGrFET than for the n-finFET, while the noise margins are ∼400 mV for a 1 V supply for both devices. The performance of the complementary inverter is similar for both devices. The multi-gate functionality of both devices is exploited to minimize the device count for NAND, NOR and XOR gates. The SGrFET XOR contains only two devices while three are needed for the finFET. The rise time of the SGrFET logic gates is found to be almost half of that of the finFET. Complete OFF states can be obtained for the SGrFET via the multiple unit cell approach.

Modeling the Geometry-Dependent Parasitics in Multi-Fin FinFETs
This paper studies the geometry-dependent parasitic components in multi-fin FinFETs. Compared with conventional planar MOSFETs, the gate resistance has a stronger dependence on device geometry. Parasitic fringing capacitance and overlap capacitance are physically modeled as functions of gate geometry parameters using a conformal mapping method. Also, a physical model is presented to account for...
متن کاملThermal and Sensitivity Analysis of Multi-fin Devices
As device dimensions shrink into the nanometer range, power and performance constraints prohibit the longevity of traditional MOS devices in circuit design. A finFET, a quasi-planar double-gated device, has emerged as a replacement. FinFETs are formed by creating a silicon fin which protrudes out of the wafer, wrapping a gate around the fin, and then doping the ends of the fin to form the sourc...

In this work, the self-heating effect (SHE) on metal gate multiple-fin SOI FinFETs is studied by adopting the ac conductance technique to extract the thermal resistance and temperature rise in both n-channel and p-channel SOI FinFETs with various geometry parameters. It is shown that the SHE degrades by over 10% of the saturation output current in the n-channel and by over 7% in the p-channel. ...

The p-i-n carbon nanotube (CNT) devices suffer from low ON/OFF current ratio and small saturation current. In this paper by band bending engineering, we improved the device performance of p-i-n CNT field effect transistors (CNTFET). A triple gate all around structure is proposed to manage the carrier transport along the channel. We called this structure multi-segment gate (MSG) CNTFET. Band to ...
