Summary: | Abstract
Complementary FET (CFET) devices have become emerging and promising candidates for continuing Moore’s law at sub-3 nm nodes owing to the area advantage of the N-P stacked structure, which markedly improves the integration of circuits. However, the introduction of vertical structure leads to severe thermal issues due to the self-heating effect, resulting in the degradation of the device and circuit performance. This paper mainly evaluates and analyzes the performance of the static random-access memory (SRAM) unit built using the CFET structure. The CFET-SRAM exhibits better performance than the conventional CMOS-SRAM in terms of access delay, even with the impact of self-heating. For the multi-fin-based CFET, although the total gate capacitance increases, the enhanced current improves the static noise margin significantly. However, as the number of channels expands, sheet-based CFET devices show more comprehensive superiority of area and performance. |
