Sub-40nm Lgate asymmetric halo and source/drain extension transistors have been integrated into leading-edge 65 nm and 45 nm PD-SOI CMOS technologies. With optimization, the asymmetric NMOS and PMOS saturation drive currents improve up to 12 % and 10 %, respectively, resulting in performance at 1.0 V and 100 nA/µm IOFF of NIDSAT = 1354 µA/µm and PIDSAT = 857 µA/µm. Product-level implementation of asymmetric transistors showed a speed benefit of 12 %, at matched yield 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.
