Abstract
Hot-carrier and oxide reliability of CMOS FinFETs with 2.1 nm-thick gate-SiO/sub 2/ were investigated. It was found that hot-carrier immunity improves as the fin width (body thickness) decreases, which facilitates gate-length scaling, while it is degraded at elevated temperature due to the self-heating effect. High values of Q/sub BD/ are achieved for devices with very small gate area. A post-fin-etch hydrogen anneal is helpful for improving hot-carrier immunity and Q/sub BD/.
