Abstract
To achieve high current drive and
short channel effects control, the siliconon-insulator (SOI) MOS transistors has
changed from single gate, planar devices to
double gate three dimensional structure as
FinFETs. FinFET technology is now the
best alternative to planar bulk CMOS
technology as it has shown better results in
device variability, suppress leakage current,
better scalability and importantly short
channel characteristics in comparison with
CMOS bulk technology. This paper
provides some background on why
FinFETs are needed, SOI vs bulk FinFETs
and double patterning fabrication used in
FinFETs.
Introduction
The scaling of the MOSFET transistor is
necessary so as to have high packing
density, improved frequency response and
improved current drive by increasing
transconductance. But the main problem to
progress hen scaling is the leakage
phenomenon occurred due to variation in
threshold voltage. Leakage increases due to
lowering of oxide thickness, channel
lengths and higher substrate dopings. So in
order to reduce the leakage, the threshold
voltage is to be maintained high.
