Integration schemes of bulk FinFET SRAM cell with bulk planar FET peripheral circuit are studied for the first time. Two types of SRAM cells with different β-ratio were fabricated and investigated in the view of static noise margin (SNM). High SNM of 122 mV is obtained in the cell with 15 nm Fin width, 90 nm channel height and 20 nm gate length at V dd = 0.6 V. This is the smallest gate length FinFET SRAM reported to date.A higher beta ratio (β > 2.0) in FinFET SRAM cell will be also achieved by tuning the effective channel width of each FinFETs without area penalty by taking advantage of bulk-Si substrate.
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.
