FinFETs form the foundation for many of today’s semiconductor ... They can also be on top of an insulating layer as in silicon-on-insulator (SOI) CMOS. The gate poly is deposited such that it runs up ...

The 16nm FinFET node has introduced several new challenges in the IC design community. In addition to the complexity of power-noise and electromigration (EM) verification, thermal reliability has ...

Generally, poly-silicons with heavy doping of either n-type or p-type ... In this section, we will discuss two new MOS structures, SOI and FinFET. The main objective of both the structures is to ...
