Junctionless gate-all-around lateral and vertical nanowire FETs with simplified processing for advanced logic and analog/RF applications and scaled SRAM cells
2016 IEEE Symposium on VLSI Technology(2016)
摘要
We report a comprehensive evaluation of junctionless (JL) vs. conventional inversion-mode (IM) gate-all-around (GAA) nanowire FETs (NWFETs) with the same lateral (L) configuration. Lower I

values and excellent electrostatics can be obtained with optimized NW doping for a given JL NW size (W

with increased NW doping for JL NMOS, with less impact seen for PMOS and at smaller NWs. The JL concept is also demonstrated in vertical (V) GAA-NWFETs with in-situ doped Si epi NW pillars (d
