Multi-gate Si nanowire MOSFETs : fabrication, strain engineering and transport analysis

Mohammad Najmzadeh

Multi-gate devices e.g. gate-all-around (GAA) Si nanowires and FinFETs are promising can- didates for aggressive CMOS downscaling. Optimum subthreshold slope, immunity against short channel effect and optimized power consumption are the major benefits of s ...
