Three Dimensionally Stacked SiGe Nanowire Array and Gate-All-Around p-MOSFETs

Abstract: A novel method for realizing arrays of vertically stacked (e.g., ×3 wires stacked) laterally spread out nanowires is presented for the first time using a fully Si-CMOS compatible process. The Gate-All-Around (GAA) MOSFET devices using these nanowire arrays show excellent performance in terms of near ideal sub-threshold slope (<70 mV/dec), high I on /I off ratio (~10 7 ), and low leakage current. Vertical stacking economizes on silicon estate and improves the onstate I DSAT at the same time. Both n-and p-FET de… Show more

“…Moreover, to increase the drive current per unit area with the higher density for integration, vertical stacking of NWs enables the use more available silicon surface per device [2][3][4][5]. Recently, short-channel GAA-SNW FETs have been successfully fabricated with diameter of less than 10 nm using several top-down CMOS compatible processes; they successfully suppress the short-channel effects [6][7][8][9].…”

“…Furthermore, although lateral (parallel to the wafer surface) integration of NWs has been demonstrated with high drive current per wire, the overall current drivability of the devices is still limited by the pitch of the NWs. To overcome the bottleneck of drive current, for the first time, a top-down process technology has been developed to fabricate vertically stacked (normal to the wafer surface) III-V NWFETs, similar to some explored Si NWFETs [2][3] . We call this new type of NW devices III-V 4D transistors to distinguish them from III-V 3D transistors [1] which has only one vertical layer and multiple lateral wires.…”
