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

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 …

Understanding Reliability Trade-Offs in 1T-nC and 2T-nC FeRAM Designs

Understanding Reliability Trade-Offs in 1T-nC and 2T-nC FeRAM Designs 150 150

Abstract:

Ferroelectric random access memory (FeRAM) is a promising candidate for energy-efficient nonvolatile memory, particularly for logic-in-memory and compute-in-memory (CIM) applications. Among the available cell architectures, One-Transistor–n-Capacitor (1T-nC) and two-transistor–n-capacitor (2T-nC) FeRAMs each offer distinct trade-offs in density, scalability, and reliability. In this work, we present a comparative study …

An Investigation of Minimum Supply Voltage of 5-nm SRAM From 300 K Down to 10 K

An Investigation of Minimum Supply Voltage of 5-nm SRAM From 300 K Down to 10 K 150 150

Abstract:

In this article, we present a comprehensive study of the impact of cryogenic temperatures on the minimum operating voltage ( $V_{\min }$ ) of 5-nm Fin Field-Effect Transistors (FinFETs)-based Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) cells. To perform the SRAM $V_{\min }$ evaluation, we have measured the FinFETs fabricated using a commercial 5…
