This device is highly scalable due to its sub-lithographic channel length; non-implanted ultra-shallow source and drain extensions; non-epi raised source and drain regions; and gate-last flow.
(Physical surface-potential-based formulations are derived for both intrinsic and extrinsic models with finite body doping. The surface potentials at the source and drain ends are solved analytically with poly-depletion and quantum mechanical effects. The effect of finite body doping is captured through a perturbation approach. The analytic surface potential solution agrees closely with the 2-D device simulation results. If the channel doping concentration is low enough to be neglected, computational efficiency can be further improved by a setting a specific flag (COREMOD= 1).)
(All of the important Multi-Gate (MG)transistor behavior is captured by this model. Volume inversion is included in the solution of Poisson’s equation, hence the subsequent I-V formulation automatically captures the volume inversion effect. Analysis of electro-static potential in the body of MG MOSFETs provided a model equation for short channel effects (SCE). The extra electrostatic control from the end-gates(top/bottom gates)(triple or quadruple-gate)is also captured in the short channel model.)
