Popis: | MuGFET structure improves local transistor mismatch compared to planar bulk MOSFET. This enables further SRAM cell size reduction. GIDL current is well controlled even with a mid-gap metal gate. MuGFETs have low subthreshold leakage if Lg/Wsi ratio is kept above 1.5. The advantage of MuGFET subthreshold leakage suppression is even more pronounced at higher temperatures. Furthermore MuGFETs are compatible with local strain techniques to improve carrier mobility. The aforementioned qualities, along with low manufacturing cost of single mid- bandgap metal gate, make MuGFET a good candidate to replace planar bulk MOSFET for Low-Power Applications. |
