Abstract:
FinFET devices and Silicon-On-Insulator (SOI) devices are two mainstream technical routes after the planar MOSFET reached the limit for scaling. The SOI FinFET devices combine the benefits of FinFET and SOI devices, which can be further boosted by SiGe channels. In this work, we develop an optimizing strategy of the Ge fraction in SiGe Channels of SGOI FinFET devices. The simulation results of ring oscillator (RO) circuits and SRAM cells reveal that altering the Ge fraction can improve the performance and power of different circuits for different applications.

Schottky Barriers
Schottky barriers arise when a metal with a work function (Φm) contacts a semiconductor with a different work function (Φs). Initially, electrons transfer until the Fermi levels of the metal and semiconductor align at equilibrium. For instance, if Φm > Φs, the semiconductor Fermi level is higher than the metal's before contact. The...
