It usually deteriorates the transistor performance. In this work, the corner effect for FinFET transistors with the minimum feature size of 50 nm is investigated by coupled three-dimensional process and device simulation. In contrast to earlier CMOS generations, the corner effect in small size FinFETs for typical device parameters does not lead to an additional leakage current and therefore does not deteriorate the FinFET transistor performance. This holds for both double and triple gate FinFETs.","PeriodicalId":350452,"journal":{"name":"ESSDERC '03. 33rd Conference on European Solid-State Device Research, 2003.","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129089836","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}

A complete analysis is presented, showing a good correlation between the increase of the electron mobility and the reduction of the silicon clean consumption. We also discuss why the PMOS behavior is not altered by these cleans. Moreover, a 4% delay reduction on ring oscillators is measured. Finally, both the thick and thin gate oxide quality has been preserved: this shows that an ideal compromise has been found between the silicon cleaning efficiency and the device performance improvement.","PeriodicalId":350452,"journal":{"name":"ESSDERC '03. 33rd Conference on European Solid-State Device Research, 2003.","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114225578","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}
