  • Abstract
    The impact of alternative channel materials in p-channel FinFETs is considered here using a combination of 3D drift diffusion and ensemble Monte Carlo simulations. This simulation approach allows both the electrostatics and the drive current of these devices to be properly evaluated in determining the potential performance improvement that can be derived from these devices.
