Imec Demonstrates Gate-All-Around MOSFETs with Lateral Silicon Nanowires at Scaled Dimensions

June 17, 2016

LEUVEN, Belgium –June 16, 2016– Today, at the 2016 Symposia on VLSI Technology & Circuits, nano-electronics research center imec presented gate-all-around (GAA) n- and p-MOSFET devices made of vertically stacked horizontal silicon (Si) nanowires (NWs) with a diameter of only 8-nm. The devices, which were fabricated on bulk Si substrates using an industry-relevant replacement metal gate (RMG) process, have excellent short-channel characteristics (SS = 65 mV/dec, DIBL = 42 mV/V for LG = 24 nm) at performance levels comparable to finFET reference devices.

Imec demonstrates Junction-less Gate-All-Around Lateral and Vertical Nanowire FET Devices

June 16, 2016

Leuven (Belgium) – June 15, 2016 – Today, at the 2016 Symposia on VLSI Technology & Circuits, nano-electronics research center imec presented junction-less gate-all-around (GAA) nanowire (NW) FETs built in lateral and vertical configurations. With their simplified processing, improved reliability, reduced low frequency noise and lower IOFF values, they are an attractive option for advanced logic, low power circuits and analog/RF applications. Moreover, they enable a simpler path for considerable SRAM scaling via the stacking of vertical devices. 

GAA-NWFETs -with the gate fully wrapped around the device body for optimum electrostatics control- are considered one of the most … Read More → "Imec demonstrates Junction-less Gate-All-Around Lateral and Vertical Nanowire FET Devices"
