Abstract

The scaling down of metal oxide semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) for the last several years has contributed to the reduction of the scaling variables and device parameters as well as the operating voltage of the MOSFET. At the same time, the variation in the electrical characteristics of MOSFETs is one of the major issues that need to be solved. Especially because the issue with variation is magnified as the drive voltage is decreased. Therefore, this paper will focus on the variations between electrical characteristics and drain voltage. In order to do this, the test patterned multi-finger MOSFETs using 90-nm process is used to investigate the characteristic variations, such as the threshold voltage, DIBL, subthreshold swing, transconductance and mobility via parasitic resistance extraction method. These characteristics can be analyzed by varying the gate width and length, and the number of fingers. Through this modeling scheme, the characteristic variations of multi-finger MOSFETs can be analyzed.
