Abstract: Scaling supply voltage of FinFET circuits is an efficient method to achieve low power dissipation. Superthreshold FinFET logic circuits can attain low power consumption with favorable performance, because FinFET devices operating on medium strong inversion regions can provide better drive strength than conventional CMOS transistors. The supply voltage of the super-threshold circuit is...

In this paper, we discuss the process, layout and device technologies of FinFET to obtain high RF and analog/mixed-signal performance circuits. The fin patterning due to Side-wall transfer (SWT) technique is useful to not only fabricate narrow fin line but also suppress the fin width variation comparing with ArF and EB lithography. The H2 annealing after Si etching is useful for not only to imp...

A two-dimensional quantum mechanical modeling has been performed to simulate a nano-scale FinFET by obtaining the self-consistent solution of coupled Poisson and Schrödinger equations. Calculated current-voltage (IV) curves are carefully compared with experimental data to verify the validity of our theoretical work. The transconductance (Gmmax=380) is optimized through varying the Si-fin thickn...

The parametric variations of FinFET in 22 nm due to doping concentrations are presented. In this paper different parameters of FinFET such as subthreshold slope, DIBL, threshold voltage, transconductance and Ioff are analysed using Synopsys Sentaurus 3D TCAD. From the results, it can be concluded that, optimized doping leads to better characteristics for the FinFET.

The comparator is designed in pipelined ADC. FINFET is the technology which performs the dual gate MOSFET. This thesis focuses on the high-speed design of pipelined ADC. In the meanwhile, we try to minimize the power dissipation as well. In this thesis, A semidigital Gm-based amplifier is proposed for a low-power pipelined analog-to-digital converter (ADC )in HSPICE .And also we compare the pow...

Fig. 1. FinFET device structures. (a) Shorted-gate FinFET. (b) Independent-gate FinFET. Abstract—An independent-gate FinFET can operate in two modes: SG (shorted-gate) and IG (independent-gate) modes, and thus a FinFET-based circuit offers rich design options for lower power, better performance or reduced transistor count. In this paper, we present two novel dynamically power-gated FinFET TCAM ...

Lowering supply voltage of FinFET circuits is an effective way to achieve low power dissipations. In this paper, the super-threshold adiabatic FinFET circuits based on PAL-2N operating on medium strong inversion regions are addressed in terms of energy consumption and operating frequency. The supply voltage of the super-threshold circuits is much larger than the threshold voltage of the transis...
