[paper] Nano Device Simulator

Nano Device Simulator - A Practical Subband-BTE Solver for Path-Finding and DTCO

Abstract: We present an in-depth discussion on the subband Boltzmann transport (SBTE) methodology, its evolution, and its application to the simulation of nanoscale MOSFETs. The evolution of the method is presented from the point of view of developing a commercial general purpose SBTE solver, the GTS nano device simulator (NDS). We show a wide range of applications SBTE is suited for, including state-of-the-art nonplanar and well-established planar technologies. It is demonstrated how SBTE can be employed both as a path-finding tool and a fundamental component in a DTCO-flow. 
Fig: NDS simulation of a device generated using level-set topography simulation; left: level-set generated FinFET with complex warped surfaces, typical of topography simulation; the analytical doping is shown; middle: the SBTE domain is cut out of the device and meshed using an extruded grid, and mixed with the mesh of the rest of the device; cuts are then extracted from the SBTE domain and remeshed; right: electron drift velocity in the FinFET, DD versus SBTE; the SBTE result clearly shows the velocity overshoot effect not seen in the DD solution.

Acknowledgment: The authors would like to thank Dr. Edward Chen for many fruitful discussions and the continued valuable feedback.

Abstract: In nowadays, deeply scaled CMOS technologies, time-dependent variability effects have become important concerns for analog and digital circuit design. Transistor parameter shifts caused by Bias Temperature Instability and Random Telegraph Noise phenomena can lead to deviations of the circuit performance or even to its fatal failure. In this scenario extensive and accurate device characterization under several test conditions has become an unavoidable step towards trustworthy implementing the stochastic reliability models. In this paper, the statistical distributions of threshold voltage shifts in nanometric CMOS transistors will be studied at near threshold, nominal and accelerated aging conditions. Statistical modelling of RTN and BTI combined effects covering the full voltage range is presented. 
The results of this work suppose a complete modelling approach of BTI and RTN that can be applied in a wide range of voltages for reliability predictions.
