Abstract

The performance of FinFET and FDSOI devices is compared by 3D Monte Carlo simulation using an enhanced quantum correction scheme. This scheme has two new features: (i) the quantum correction is extracted from a 2D cross-section of the 3D device and (ii) in addition to using a modified oxide permittivity and a modified work function in subthreshold, the work function is ramped above threshold to a different value in the on-state. This approach improves the accuracy of the quantum-correction for multi-gate devices and is shown to accurately reproduce 3D density-gradient simulation also at short channel lengths. 15 nm FDSOI device performance with thin box and back-gate bias is found to be competitive: compared to a FinFET with (110)/〈110〉 sidewall/channel orientation, the on-current for N-type devices is 25 % higher and the off-current is only increased by a factor of 2.5.
