This paper describes a layout technique to alleviate soft failure for short pitch multi finger ggMOS devices. Forming metal path parallel to the finger achieved 17-30% improvement in soft failure current without area penalty. Improvement of heat dissipation parallel to the finger is a possible explanation for this phenomenon.
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.
