Abstract :
Engineering of the electrical channel length (Leff) is investigated as an alternative means for adjusting the threshold voltage (Vtau) in double-gate (DG) MOSFETs, to allow a single mid-gap work function gate material to be used with undoped CMOS channels. Device simulations for 18 nm gate length (LG) indicate that ITRS performance specifications for low standby power (LSTP) applications can be met with this approach. Different source/drain (S/D) doping profiles yielding the same Leff can be used to achieve the desired Vtau, allowing for flexibility in process design.
