CMOS Scaling Analysis based on ITRS Roadmap by Three-dimensional Mixed-mode Device Simulation
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, the circuit performances such as circuit delay, RF characteristics and SRAM static noise margin are presented. These analyses are performed by threedimensional device simulation using Mixed-mode option. The benefit of circuit delay in scaling will be maintained by introducing new structure (SOI, multi-gate), material (silicide, metal gate) and strain effect. However, concerning with SRAM SNM, it becomes already difficult to operate even in 65nm node.

Scaling equations for the accurate prediction of CMOS device performance from 180 nm to 7 nm
Classical scaling equations which estimate parameters such as circuit delay and energy per operation across technology generations have been extremely useful for predicting performance metrics as well as for comparing designs across fabrication technologies. Unfortunately in the CMOS deep-submicron era, the classical scaling equations are becoming increasingly less accurate and new practical sc...
