In this paper, advanced 3D TCAD process and device simulations is used to gain physical understanding and to optimize the performance/variability of bulk-FinFETs. For the first time, the full FinFET process flow simulation was performed using diffusion, activation and segregation models identical to those used in planar nodes. In this work a wide range of implantation and anneal splits is used to demonstrate the 3D simulation accuracy. After achieving good agreement with experiments in terms of Vth and Ion/Ioff, considering lateral dopant diffusion and activation, the simulation was used to investigate SRAM random doping fluctuation RDF.","PeriodicalId":262652,"journal":{"name":"2014 44th European Solid State Device Research Conference (ESSDERC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129555692","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}

After being firstly measured with the time bias stress instability technique (BSI), the MOSFETs were submitted to a short thermal annealing at 120oC for 14h. Regardless the irradiation and the very short annealing time, significant differences with respect to Silicon-irradiated MOSFET have been observed. We associated these differences to the diffusion of nitrogen atoms inside the SiC epilayer but also, to the mobile ion charge tunneling from the same epilayer into the oxide, especially during the annealing process. Finally, if the oxide thickness and the irradiation fluence are balanced, the SiC MOSFET performance can be enhanced, operating in high temperature and harsh environments.","PeriodicalId":262652,"journal":{"name":"2014 44th European Solid State Device Research Conference (ESSDERC)","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116769031","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}
