Technology elements for the 10nm node and beyond include FINFETs on bulk or SOI, replacement gate process, multiworkfunction gate stacks, self-aligned contacts, and alternative channel materials. This paper describes current trends and how improved physics understanding and models can enable us to anticipate the effects of scaling on reliability even in early stages of development.
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.
