Popis: Flexibly controllable threshold-voltage (Vth) asymmetric gate-oxide thickness (Tox) four-terminal (4T) FinFETs with HfO2 [equivalentoxidethickness(EOT)=1.4 nm] for the drive gate and HfO2+thick SiO2 (EOT=6.4-9.4 nm) for the Vth-control gate have been successfully fabricated by utilizing ion-bombardment-enhanced etching process. Owing to the slightly thick Vth-control gate oxide, the subthreshold slope (S) is significantly improved as compared to the symmetrically thin Tox 4T-FinFETs. As a result, the asymmetric Tox 4T-FinFETs gain higher Ion than that for the symmetrically thin Tox 4T-FinFETs under the same Ioff conditions
