Compared to our previous 14nm FDSOI assessment, a -17% delay at the same leakage is demonstrated. We show that the AC performance of 28nm FDSOI at a 0.9V supply voltage is reached at 0.6V in 14nm FDSOI technology. This corresponds to a 50% increase in frequency at the same dynamic power, or a 65% power saving at the same operation frequency. The transistors are optimized to provide better drive current and, for the first time, a novel SiBCN low-k spacer material is successfully integrated in a gate-first FDSOI technology, providing a 10% reduction in gate-to-source/drain parasitic capacitance.","PeriodicalId":181654,"journal":{"name":"2015 Symposium on VLSI Technology (VLSI Technology)","volume":"163 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123508147","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}

More importantly, time constants are stress free and quite stable under electrical stressing. Then, with proposed transient RTN approaches and algorithms, RTN related traps can be detected in a short time and directly utilized in PUF designs.
