Physical Limits in Scaling Si MOSFET
Substrate
Gate
Source Drain
Gate stack• Tunneling current ⇒ ⇑ Ioff• Gate depletion ⇒ ⇑ EOT
Source/Drain• Parasitic resistance • Doping level, abruptness
Channel/Drain• Surface scattering - mobility ⇓• High E-field - mobility ⇓ • DIBL ⇒ drain to source leakage ⇑ Ioff• Subthreshold slope ≥ kT/q ⇒ ⇑ Ioff• VG - VT decrease ⇒ ⇓ ION
Net result: Bulk-Si CMOS device performance increase commensurate withsize scaling is unlikely beyond the 65 nm node
Power ⇑• CV2f ⇑ • S/D leakage current ⇑ • Gate leakage current ⇑

Ultra-Thin Body Single vs. Double Gate SOI
• In DG MOS better electrostatic control of the channel⇒ Reduced short channel effects

• Can be used as a second gate• Not the ideal structure for double gate

Saraswat - EE311/Future Devices11araswattanford University
• ~2X current drive for the same device width• Very thin (5 nm) undoped channel ⇒ better electrostatic control
Steeper subthreshold slope - approaching 60 mV/decShort-channel effect control feasible down to 20 nmMay tolerate a thicker gate oxide for the same channel length
• Gate workfunction tuning needed for Vt control (for undoped channel)• Steep lateral source/drain doping profile is required• Parasitic source resistance

Saraswat - EE311/Future Devices13araswattanford University
• Extrinsic resistance reduces gate overdrive ⇒ performance limiter in ballistic FETs• Doping profile too gradual: ⇒ dopants spill into channel ⇒ worse SCE• Doping profile too abrupt: ⇒ large series resistance in extension tip• Extrinsic (S/D) resistance may limit performance in future ultrathin body DGFETs

Why Germanium MOS Transistors?Why Germanium MOS Transistors?
Electronic Properties:Electronic Properties:• More symmetric and higher
carrier mobilities (low-field)⇒ More efficient source
injection(due to lighter m*)
⇒ ↓ CMOS gate delay
• Smaller energy bandgap⇒ Survives VDD scaling⇒ ↓ R with ↓ barrier height
• Lower temperatureprocessing⇒ 3-D compatible
