Self-Heating and Parasitic Effects in Multi-Tier CFET Design

Self-Heating and Parasitic Effects in Multi-Tier CFET Design 150 150
Author(s): Sufia Shahin, Mahdi Benkhelifa, Yogesh Singh Chauhan, Hussam Amrouch

Abstract:

In this article, we study the impact of self-heating effects (SHEs) and middle of line (MOL) and back-end of line (BEOL) induced parasitics on multi-tier CFET design, where multiple nanosheet devices are vertically stacked. We analyze and compare the four-tier complementary FET (CFET) design with the conventional two-tier CFET, using …

Impact of Aging, Self-Heating, and Parasitics Effects on NSFET and CFET

Impact of Aging, Self-Heating, and Parasitics Effects on NSFET and CFET 150 150
Author(s): Swati Deshwal, Sufia Shahin, Anirban Kar, Yogesh S. Chauhan, Hussam Amrouch

Abstract:

This work presents a comparative analysis of complementary field-effect transistor (CFET) and nanosheet FET (NSFET) architectures, with a focus on self-heating effects (SHEs), negative bias temperature instability (NBTI), hot carrier degradation (HCD), and the impact of back-end-of-line (BEOL) parasitics on standard cell performance. NBTI degradation is modeled using a framework …

A Benchmark of Cryo-CMOS Dynamic Comparators in a 40 nm Bulk CMOS Technology

A Benchmark of Cryo-CMOS Dynamic Comparators in a 40 nm Bulk CMOS Technology 150 150
Author(s): Bram Veraverbeke, Filip Tavernier

Abstract:

All cryo-CMOS quantum-classical control interfaces require an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) bridging the analog qubits and the digital control logic. Dynamic comparators play a crucial role in the precision, speed, and power consumption of these ADCs. Yet, their performance is severely impacted by the cryogenic environment. Therefore, this letter benchmarks, for …
