- Analog parameters of strained non-rectangular triple gate FinFETs(2010-01-05) BÜHLER, Rudolf Theoderich; Renato Giacomini; MARTINO, J. A.The strained silicon technology together to the reduction of the temperature is studied in this paper on trapezoidal triple gate FinFETs, through three-dimensional numerical simulation, with particular focus on analog parameters. The comparison of the intrinsic voltage gain between the different trapezoidal fin shapes demonstrated that, although the strained silicon technology provided higher intrinsic voltage gain, the fin shape can have a major role in analog parameters, helping to improve those parameters under certain circumstances. Higher intrinsic voltage gains were obtained for strained devices with top fin width larger than bottom. ©The Electrochemical Society.
- Sidewall angle influence on the FinFET analog parameters(2007-09-06) Renato Giacomini; MARTINO, J. A.; Marcelo Antonio PavanelloThe width variations along the vertical direction, due to process limitations, that appear in some fabricated FinFETs lead to non-rectangular cross-sectional shapes. One of the most frequent shapes is the trapezoidal (inclined sidewalls). These geometry variations may cause some changes in the device electrical characteristics. This work analyses the influence of the sidewall inclination angle on analog parameters, such as voltage gain, transconductance, output conductance, threshold voltage and also on the corner effects, through 3-D numeric simulation. © The Electrochemical Society.
- Simple analytical model to study the ZTC bias point in FinFETs(2007-05-11) BELLODI, M.; CAMILLO, L. M.; MARTINO, J. A.; SIMOEN, E.; CLAEYS, C.In this work we present a simple analytical model to study the Zero Temperature Coefficient (ZTC) bias point in FinFETs operating from room temperature up to 573 K. Three-dimensional simulations are carried out and compared with experimental results to qualify the results. © The Electrochemical Society.
- Low temperature operation of undoped body triple-gate FinFETs from an analog perspective(2007-09-06) Marcelo Antonio Pavanello; MARTINO, J. A.; SIMOEN, E.; ROOYACKERS R.; COLLAERT, N.; CLAEYS, CThis paper studies the temperature reduction influence on some analog figures of merit of n-type triple-gate FinFETs with undoped body, using DC measurements. It is demonstrated that the temperature reduction improves the transconductance over drain current ratio in any operational region. On the other hand, the output conductance is degraded when the temperature is reduced. The combination of these effects shows that the intrinsic gain of a L=90 nm FinFET is degraded by 3 dB when the temperature reduces from 300 K down to 100 K. A comparison with planar single gate fully depleted SOI reveals that the temperature degradation of the output conductance in FinFETs is less temperature-dependent. © The Electrochemical Society.
- Influence of fin width and channel length on the performance of buffers implemented with standard and strained triple-gate nFinFETs(2009-09-03) Marcelo Antonio Pavanello; MARTINO, J. A.; SIMOEN, E.; ROOYACKERS, R.; COLLAERT, N.; CLAEYS, C.In this work the application of standard and strained triple-gate FinFETs in unity-gain source-follower configuration is compared. The analysis is performed by evaluating the buffer voltage gain with respect to the fin width and channel length as well as the total harmonic distortion. It is demonstrated that the application of strained material in narrow FinFETs, when the devices are operating in double-gate mode, can be beneficial for the performance of buffers in any channel length. On the other hand, for triple-gate FinFETs or quasi-planar ones the degradation of the output conductance overcomes the transconductance improvements from strained material and the performance of standard buffers is better than of strained ones. Narrow strained buffers also offer better harmonic distortion. © The Electrochemical Society.
- Harmonic distortion analysis of SOI triple gate FinFETs applied to 2-MOS balanced structures(2009-05-29) Rodrigo Doria; MARTINO, J. A.; CERDEIRA, A.; Marcelo Antonio PavanelloThis work presents an evaluation of the non-linearities exhibited in 2-MOS resistive structures composed by triple gate FinFETs with several fin widths down to 30 nm. The harmonic distortion has been analysed in terms of its third order component (HD3) as a function of the gate voltage, the input amplitude voltage and the fin width. The linearity has also been analysed with respect to the on-resistance, which constitutes a key parameter in such circuits. Along the harmonic distortion evaluation, the non-linearity causes are pointed out. At lower gate voltages, wider devices present smaller HD3 with respect to the narrower ones, while the contrary occurs at higher gate voltages. ©The Electrochemical Society.
- Reliability performance characterization of SOI FinFets(2009-06-02) CLAEYS, C.; PUT, S.; RAFI, J. M.; Marcelo Antonio Pavanello; MARTINO, J. A.; SIMOEN, E.FinFET devices are explicitly mentioned in the ITRS roadmap and have a good potential for scaling CMOS to 22 nm and below. Some physical characterization and reliability aspects of these devices are reviewed. Attention is given to transient floating body effects and low frequency noise, which may yield information on the materials' characteristics like carrier recombination lifetime or interface and oxide trap density. These methods can be useful to study the performance of these components under harsh operation conditions of low or high temperature, or at high bias voltages. ©2009 IEEE.
- DIBL performance of 60 MeV proton-irradiated SOI MuGFETs(2010-11-04) AGOPIAN, P. G. D.; MARTINO, J. A.; KOBAYASHI, D.; POIZAT, M.; SIMON, E.; CLAEYS, C.The impact of a 60 MeV proton irradiation on the drain induced barrier lowering is investigated for tri-gate FinFETs processed with and without the implementation of different biaxial or uniaxial strain engineering techniques. A contrasting behavior is observed for n- and pFinFETs, which may be associated with the radiation-induced charges in the buried oxide and the influence of the back channel on the front transistor performance. ©2010 IEEE.
- An analytical model for the non-linearity of triple gate SOI MOSFETs(2011-01-05) Rodrigo Doria; MARTINO, J. A.; SIMOEN, E.; CLAEYS, C.; Marcelo Antonio PavanelloThis work proposes a physically-based analytical model for the non-linearity of Triple-Gate MOSFETs. The model describes the second order harmonic distortion (HD2), usually the major non-linearity source, as a function of the device dimensions, the series resistance, the low field mobility and the mobility degradation factor (θ). The model was applied to transistors of different channel lengths and fin widths and allowed to conclude that θ is the parameter which most contributes for the increase of HD2. The model was validated for both unstrained and strained FinFETs. ©The Electrochemical Society.
- Detailed analysis of transport properties of FinFETs through Y-Function method: Effects of substrate orientation and strain(2015-10-13) RIBEIRO, T. A.; SIMOEN, E.; CLAEYS, C.; MARTINO, J. A.; Marcelo Antonio PavanelloThis paper studies the transport parameters of n-type FinFETs extracted using the Y-Function methodology, by comparing their dependence on the fin width and the crystallographic orientation for standard and rotated substrates as well as the influence of biaxial strain. The Y-Function has been applied with a recursive algorithm to improve its accuracy. The results obtained show that the low-field mobility increases, for devices with narrow fin, just with the rotation of the substrate. With biaxial strain the mobility increases about 50% for the standard devices and about 30% for the rotated devices compared to non-strained devices. The mobility degradation is also extracted and evaluated showing strong coulomb scattering and surface roughness scattering, where the later is higher on standard and strained devices than on only rotated devices.
