Abstract
This paper comprehensively analyzes the reliability concerns of the Complementary FET (CFET), engrossing the design parameters and the variability effects. The impact of process-induced variabilities, such as random dopant distribution (RDD), line edge roughness (LER), and metal gate granularity (MGG), is extensively studied through well-calibrated TCAD models. Variation aware compact model based statistical analysis is used to analyze 100 random device samples, which shows a significant spread in the IDS-VGS curve (transfer characteristics). Electrical performance based on the grain size and fin width is also analyzed on both n and p-type device. Therefore, the variation in threshold voltage (Vth) is used to predict the early aging of the devices.
