The ferroelectric polarization, switching speed and the impact of atomic layer deposited (ALD) tungsten nitride (WN) electrodes are studied. Record high remnant polarization $(text{P}_{r})$, on FE HZO and record high saturation polarization $(text{P}_{s})$ on AFE HZO are achieved with WN electrodes, especially in ultrathin sub-10 nm regime. A high dielectric constant of 30.4 is achieved on AFE HZO. The polarization switching speed of FE and AFE HZO, associated with C-V frequency dispersion, are also studied. For the first time, it is found polarization switching speed is faster in AFE HZO than FE HZO, suggesting AFE-FET could be more promising for high speed memory devices.","PeriodicalId":6752,"journal":{"name":"2019 Symposium on VLSI Technology","volume":"52 1","pages":"T44-T45"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78913358","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}

Holistic analysis of the RO (Ring Oscillator) behavior, including MOL parasitics, all major variability sources, and stress proximity effects suggests that different FinFET and nanoslab transistor design options exhibit a wide range of power and performance differences. The key to improve FinFET PPA is to avoid fin cuts to maintain strong PMOS performance, and a key to improve SS corner delay is to use nanoslabs with tighter variability control.","PeriodicalId":6752,"journal":{"name":"2019 Symposium on VLSI Technology","volume":"136 1","pages":"T206-T207"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78241742","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}

This advanced package meets both electrical and mechanical requirements. The fanout RDL interposer is comprised of polymer and copper traces, and it is relatively mechanically flexible.
