Two fully depleted (FD) FBCs appear to have the best scaling potential: the planar thin-BOX FD/SOI MOSFET [1], and the quasi-planar double-gate (DG) FinFET [2]. We first examine, via 2-D and 3-D numerical simulations, the scalability of these 1T DRAM cells as implied by the memory margin and its dependence on the transistor body (UTB) thickness (tSi). Then, after showing and explaining significant margin losses in both devices as they are scaled to nanoscale gate lengths (Lg), we argue that better scalability is achievable in a 2T FBC, or floating-body/gate cell (FBGC), that we have previously presented [3], and we describe a novel refinement of the FBGC that yields very long charge/data retention times without undermining the good DRAM performance.","PeriodicalId":227302,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE International SOI Conference (SOI)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122300351","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}

Trigate needs to maintain a high aspect ratio in order to achieve a comparable electrostatic performance of FinFET at tight FP, which makes it a fin-geometry instead of channel doping-controlled device. Trigate has less Cgs penalty compared to FinFET due to the additional current conduction at the top surface. The advantage of less parasitic capacitance will be reduced by other effects, such as parasitic resistance.","PeriodicalId":227302,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE International SOI Conference (SOI)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126947408","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}
