“…As illustrated in Figure 1, these innovations include channel mobility enhancement by process-induced strain [4][5][6][7][8][9][10], Tinv scaling with gate tunneling reduction by high-K/metal gate [11][12][13], and electrostatic control improvement by transition from planar single gate to 3D FinFET/Multi-Gate FET (MUGFET) structures [14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. These transistor performance enhancements have also increased process complexity significantly.…”

TCAD plays an increasingly critical role in advanced technology research and development. The areas of impact expanded to not only predicting device outcome from process input, but also to topics traditionally not addressed by TCAD.

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.
