Abstract:

FinFET, a fully depleted, multigate transistor entered the market with high performance microprocessor product at 22nm node in 2012 and became standard device for scaled technologies. FinFETs offer superior performance over incumbent planar devices due to their significantly improved electrostatics. FinFET technology faced two key barriers to their implementation in products: demanding process integration and its significant impact on layout and circuit design methodology. In this presentation we focus on key features and challenges in designing with FinFETs. Fin formation, metrology, device parasitics, performance as well as design challenges for logic and SRAM circuits will be discussed.
