Z2FET [2–5] has been demonstrated as a promising DRAM candidate eliminating theneed for external capacitor. In the past, attention was focused on the optimization of device structure [5] and fabrication process [2] without paying much attention to the Statistical (local) Variability (SV) which is crucial for any memory technology. In this paper, a novel simulation methodology is proposed and the SV of DRAM Memory Window (MW) is investigated systematically. It is found that SV of MW is dominated by Metal Gate Granularity (MGG) coming from the Gated-SOI region of the Z2FET. Although Random Discrete Dopant (RDD) induced variations in the threshold voltage (Vth) has larger spread in the Intrinsic-SOI part, it has no significant effect on the overall Z2FET characteristics. Based on the proposed methodology, SV of MW at different process corners has also been studied. Results reveal the necessity for further process optimization due to the best corner giving rise not only to larger average MW but also less variations. Furthermore, circuit level read performance (including the variability) of a Z2FET-based memory cell have been evaluated. All these findings could guide the further performance optimization from both device and memory cell circuit point of view for Z2FET-based volatile memory product development.","PeriodicalId":170070,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Conference on Simulation of Semiconductor Processes and Devices (SISPAD)","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115116923","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our approach begins with a time-domain TCAD code, and we describe the process to adapt the system into the frequency domain so that the transformation can be parallelized. Both small-signal and large-signal analyses are easily simultaneously incorporated. Furthermore, we introduce the Isofrequency Remapping Scheme, so that an arbitrary number of high frequencies can be analyzed without introducing a prohibitive expense. Results obtained by our small-signal and large signal harmonic balance methods are shown to capture the same response for a linear device, as expected. Further results use our harmonic balance method to explore a prohibitively expensive time-domain problem: a large-signal, two-tone simulation too costly for a time-domain analysis, for which we are able to produce the expected response with intermodulation.","PeriodicalId":170070,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Conference on Simulation of Semiconductor Processes and Devices (SISPAD)","volume":"84 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115138497","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thus, there is a need in spintronics to understand the interactions between circuit design and the error rate in the switching mechanism, called as write error rate. In this paper, we propose a novel devices-to-circuits simulation framework (FANTASI) for fast estimation of the write error rates (WER) in different spintronic devices and circuits. Here, we show that, FANTASI enables efficient spintronic device-circuit co-design, with results in good agreement with the experimental measurements.","PeriodicalId":170070,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Conference on Simulation of Semiconductor Processes and Devices (SISPAD)","volume":"87 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122318411","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hybrid states that enable band-to-band tunneling are subject to interpolation that yield model dependent charge contributions. In any nanodevice structure, these models rely on device and physics specific input for the dielectric constants. This work exemplifies the large variability of different charge interpretation models when applied to ultrathin body transistor performance predictions. To solve this modeling challenge, an electron-only band structure model is extended to atomistic quantum transport. Performance predictions of MOSFETs and tunneling FETs confirm the generality of the new model and its independence of additional screening models.","PeriodicalId":170070,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Conference on Simulation of Semiconductor Processes and Devices (SISPAD)","volume":"127 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134015634","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We adopted PbZr0.5 Ti0.5 O3 (PZT) and HfO2 as ferroelectric materials and applied biaxial strain using the first-principles method. It was found that PZT and HfO2 show different trends in the negative capacitance (NC) region under biaxial strain. Biaxial strain strongly affects the NC of PZT, whereas HfO2 is not as susceptible to biaxial strain as PZT. When no strain is applied, HfO2-based NCFETs exhibit a better performance than PZT-based NCFETs. However, the subthreshold slope and ON-state current are improved in the case of PZT-based NCFETs when the compressive biaxial strain is increased, whereas the performance of HfO2 based NCFETs is slightly degraded. In particular, the negative drain-induced barrier lowering and negative differential resistance vary considerably when compressive strain is applied to PZT-based NCFETs.","PeriodicalId":170070,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Conference on Simulation of Semiconductor Processes and Devices (SISPAD)","volume":"1 6","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120810076","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
