- Abstract
- In this paper, we propose an ultrathin SiGe shell channel p-type FinFET for sub-10-nm technology nodes. Owing to the large valence band offset (VBO or Delta E-v) between SiGe shell and Si fin, a hole quantum well is configured in the high-mobility SiGe region as the major conduction path. The proposed device is optimally designed and characterized in dc and ac. Here, high-kappa/metal gate is adopted for strong gate controllability and the high degree of freedom in threshold voltage (V-th) adjustment. For a high reliability, modeling of the mobility (mu) and saturation velocity (v(sat)) is carried out for different Ge fractions (x). The E-g and VBO are also determined for different x from empirical data. With the set of modeled values and various quantum-mechanical models, the proposed device has been simulated through rigorous 3-D technology computer-aided design simulation. The designed device shows a high scalability reaching down to L-g = 5 nm. At L-g of 5 nm with a driving voltage (V-DD) of -0.5 V, a current gain cutoff frequency (f(T)) = 368.88 GHz, dynamic power = 0.055 fJ/mu m, and an intrinsic delay (tau) = 0.37 ps are achieved. This is confirmed by the potential low-power and high-speed operations with a strong gate controllability.
