By innovatively designing a compact polysilicon-diode triggering circuit, the MPDTSCR with six polysilicon diodes exhibits excellent anti-parasitic ability and favorable electrical characteristics, achieving a low breakdown voltage of 4.2 V, a small leakage current in the nanoampere scales, and high robustness with a failure current level of 6.6 A per finger. By minimizing the space between the p- and n-type regions of the polysilicon, the turn-on voltage of the MPDTSCR is reduced from 17.2 to 13 V, without degrading the ESD robustness.

Five-stack FSFET shows a smaller channel width than conventional four-stack FSFET at the same drive current condition, enabling additional scaling. In conventional nanosheet-FET (NSFET), a large number of channels increases parasitic resistance and capacitance, which degrades device performance. However, the wall of FSFET, the wrap-around contact, the metal source/drain, and the small vertical spacing of the channel can mitigate the increases in parasitics. Therefore, a five-stack FSFET can achieve a small footprint without frequency degradation. We developed 4T standard cells with heights of 76 and 68 nm for four-stack FSFET and five-stack FSFET, respectively. In the same device performance condition, the five-stack FSFET-based cells show a smaller energy-delay product due to the small capacitance. Five-stack FSFET-based chip shows a 10.5%~10.7% smaller area and 7.0%~7.5% shorter wire length for all benchmarks. The shorter wire length reduces wire capacitance; thus, the five-stack FSFET-based chip shows a smaller power consumption. On the other hand, the five-stack FSFET has a smaller metal width and a larger wire resistance. However, the five-stack FSFET-based chip shows only a slight increase in power-delay product (PDP) due to the gate-dominated circuit, great optimization using buffer insertion, and a backside power delivery network (BS-PDN). Overall, the five-stack FSFET-based chip shows only a slightly degraded PDP with 10.5%~10.7% smaller area. Ultra-stacked FSFET enables additional scaling, with only an increase in channel number before adopting complementary-FET (CFET).","PeriodicalId":13092,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices","volume":"72 8","pages":"3966-3973"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144705255","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
