Imec Presents Complementary FET (CFET) as Scaling Contender for Nodes Beyond N3

June 22, 2018

LEUVEN (Belgium) – June 20, 2018 – At this week’s 2018 Symposia on VLSI Technology and Circuits, imec, the world-leading research and innovation hub in nanoelectronics and digital technology, will present a process flow for a complementary FET (CFET) device for nodes beyond N3. The proposed CFET can eventually outperform FinFETs and meet the N3 requirements for power and performance. It offers a potential area scaling of both standard cells (SDC) and memory SRAM cells by 50%.

The CFET is a further evolution of the vertically stacked gate all around nanowire transistor. Instead of stacking either n-type or p-type devices, it stacks … Read More → "Imec Presents Complementary FET (CFET) as Scaling Contender for Nodes Beyond N3"
