Abstract

For maximum utilization of layout area using the vertical gate-all-around (VGAA) MOSFETs, this paper proposes a new S-shaped GAA (SGAA) MOSFET structure for 3D integration. The proposed approach improves the layout density per unit cell to extend Moore's Law without the need of aggressive technology scaling. By adjusting the dimensional parameters in the layout schematic, we can tune the device performance such as drive current easily, thus providing a circuit design flexibility for SoC application. Using the same effective channel width for comparison with others vertical GAA structures, the proposed one gives an advantage in better short-channel effects based on three-dimensional TCAD simulation. In addition, by interlacing SGAAs in a repeated unit cell configuration for high density design, just like multi-finger layout, the area density is increased by 3.3× as compared with the ring-shaped GAA MOSFET.
