Temperature effect on ON/OFF current ratio of FinFET transistor

Abstract

This paper demonstrates the working temperature effect on ON/OFF current ratio of FinFET transistor and the prospect of using it as a temperature nano-sensor. The characteristics of the FinFET transistors were simulated using MUGFET simulation tool at different working temperature. Output characteristics with a working temperature range (−25°C to 125°C) were simulated. Variation of ON current to OFF current ratio (Ion/Ioff) with working temperature was investigated.
