Abstract
Workfunction modulated dual material gate FinFET (WMDMG-FinFET) is proposed to improve the DC performance of the device. A dual metal gate FinFET with linear modulation in workfunction along the source side of gate electrode keeping drain side gate electrode workfunction to be constant is introduced. Its subthreshold performance (i.e., switching ratio and subthreshold swing) is enhanced by introducing spacers in the side-walls of gate, with underlap concept. SILVACO TCAD tool is used to carry out the simulation work. The simulation results are compared for different spacers and it is observed that TiO2 spacer with high-k dielectric gives the best switching ratio and lowest subthreshold swing. The WMDMG-FinFET with spacers in the underlapped region shows better subthreshold characteristics as compared to conventional DMG-FinFET.
