Abstract
In this article, the impact of random fluctuation sources, such as metal gate granularity (MGG), line edge roughness (LER), and random dopant fluctuations (RDFs), are numerically studied for U-shaped n-channel fully depleted silicon on insulator (FDSOI) MOSFET (U-SOIFET) over conventional n-channel FDSOI MOSFET (C-SOIFET) for 7-nm technology node. This article reports that improved short-channel effect immunity in U-SOIFET results in less $1\sigma $ threshold voltage ( ${V}_{T}$ ) and ON-current ( ${I}_{ \mathrm{\scriptscriptstyle ON}}$ ) fluctuations compared to C-SOIFET due to MGG and LER variability sources. U-SOIFET exhibits a low ${V}_{T}$ mismatch index ( ${A}_{\Delta VT}=1.78$ mV. $\mu \text{m}$ ) close to the literature reported. Due to combined variability sources, U-SOIFET shows less ${V}_{T}$ , ${I}_{ \mathrm{\scriptscriptstyle ON}}$ , subthreshold swing (SS), and DIBL fluctuations compared to C-SOIFET. Immunity to statistical variability sources makes U-SOIFET a suitable silicon on insulator (SOI) device architecture for future CMOS logic device applications.
