High-Performance FinFET with Dopant-Segregated Schottky Source/Drain

Abstract

High-performance CMOS-FinFET with dopant-segregated Schottky source/drain (DS-Schottky S/D) technology has been demonstrated. Thanks to the low parasitic resistance in DS-Schottky S/D, high drive current of 960 muA/mum was achieved for nFET with L <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">g</sub> = 15 nm and W <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">fin</sub> =15 nm at V <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">d</sub> = 1.0 V and I <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">off</sub> = 100 nA/mum. Furthermore, the propagation delay time has been successfully improved down to less than 5 ps in the ring oscillator with DS-Schottky S/D CMOS-FinFET with 15 nm gate length
