Process variation effect, metal-gate work-function fluctuation and random dopant fluctuation of 10-nm gate-all-around silicon nanowire MOSFET devices

Abstract

In this work, process variation effect (PVE), work function fluctuation (WKF), and random dopant fluctuation (RDF) on 10-nm high-K/metal gate gate-all-around silicon nanowire MOSFET devices using full-quantum-mechanically validated and experimentally calibrated device simulation are studied. The small aspect ratio device has greater immunity of RDF, while suffers from PVE and WKF.
