CMOS Logic Device and Circuit Performance of Si Gate All Around Nanowire MOSFET

In this paper, a detailed 3-D numerical analysis is carried out to study and evaluate CMOS logic device and circuit performance of gate-all-around (GAA) Si nanowire (NW) field-effect transistors (FETs) operating in sub-22-nm CMOS technologies. Employing a coupled drift-diffusion room temperature carrier transport formulation, with 2-D quantum confinement effects, we numerically simulate Si GAA NWF...
