The sub-threshold swing of double-gate ultra-thin-body geometries is extracted for different gate lengths, and the semi-classical results are compared with those from the quantum transport simulator QTx. The ballistic mobility recovers the QTx transfer curves of the gate-all-around nanowire FETs, except the on-currents in the linear regime. It is shown that source-to-drain tunneling sets a limit to scaling at a gate length of about 10 nm.","PeriodicalId":383788,"journal":{"name":"2018 Joint International EUROSOI Workshop and International Conference on Ultimate Integration on Silicon (EUROSOI-ULIS)","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128106096","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}

Thin gate-oxide technology favors the sense margin and scalability of dimensions and bias but suffers from higher gate leakage leading to poor retention and higher variability. On the other hand, thick-gate oxide device offers similar sense margin with long retention. TCAD mixed mode simulations show that Z2-RAM can be implemented successfully in the DRAM array with good performance metrics that can be further improved.","PeriodicalId":383788,"journal":{"name":"2018 Joint International EUROSOI Workshop and International Conference on Ultimate Integration on Silicon (EUROSOI-ULIS)","volume":"121 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114661519","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}

Also, replacing p-silicon layer instead of silicon dioxide under the drift region reduces lattice temperature and helps to have a reliable device.
