This work shows the benefits of using Plasma Nitrided gate oxide which supports the gate leakage requirements for 6Snm plarform development. Electrical data shows gate leakage to be reduced by half a decade compared to conventional NO processing with loff @3nA/um, Vdd=0.9V for 65nm GP requirements. Extensive device characterization of the plasma nitride process is presented where the reduction in gafe leakage offers benefits in ternis of a 4.r reduction in static power, a 6% reduction in dynamic power consumption, comparative analog performance and improved reliability
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
