Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Work function (WF) control is a key technology for the reduction of channel impurity concentration, which results in the decrease in intrinsic random dopant variation (IRDV). It is demonstrated that saturation V_ is affected not only by IRDV but also by S factor variation owing to fluctuation of DIBL. While channel impurity reduction by WF control decreases IRDV, DIBL is degraded in turn, and this enhances S factor variation. The optimal ΔV_ by WF control is determined by two competing factors, S fator variation and IRDV. With this technique 18% reduction of σV_ is realized compared to conventional CMOS.
