Intrinsic parameter fluctuations in conventional MOSFETs until the end of the ITRS: A statistical simulation study
نویسنده
چکیده
Variability in device characteristics will affect the scaling and integration of next generation nano-CMOS transistors. Intrinsic parameter fluctuations introduced by random discrete dopants, line edge roughness and oxide thickness fluctuations are among the most important sources of variability. In this paper the variability introduced by the above sources is studied in a set of well scaled MOSFETs with channel lengths of 25, 18, 13, and 9 nm. The effect of each source of intrinsic parameter fluctuation is quantified and compared. The random discrete dopants are responsible for the strongest variations followed closely by line edge roughness. The statistical independence of the different sources of fluctuations is also studied in the case of a 35 nm MOSFET.

In this paper we present a methodology for statistical 3D simulation of end-of-theroadmap decananometre and nanometre scale transistors. The numerical simulation approach is based on the recently advanced density gradient formalism and captures both quantum confinement and source-to-drain tunnelling. We use our ‘atomistic’ device simulator to study intrinsic parameter fluctuations introduced by...

Intrinsic parameter fluctuations steadily increase with CMOS technology scaling. Around the 65 nm technology node, such fluctuations will eliminate much of the available noise margin in SRAM based on conventional MOSFETs. Device mismatch due to intrinsic parameter fluctuation causes each memory cell of the millions in a typical memory array to have different stability and performance. Ultra Thi...
