8 Introduction The main manufacturing challenges for finfets (above 20 nm) are: - controlling the etch along the edges - uniform doping of 3D surfaces - Deposition of all the films used in the gate stack Benefits reduction in power consumption (~50% over 32nm) Faster switching speed Availability of strain engineering Challanges Very restrictive design options Fin width variability and edge quality leads to variability in threshold voltage V T Extra manufacturing complexity and expense Page 8

9 Fully depleted silicon-on-insulator FD-SOI vs PD-SOI The top silicon layer is typically between 50 and 90 nmthick Silicon under the channel is partially depleted of mobile charge carriers. The top silicon layer is between 5 and 20 nm thick, typically ¼ of the gate length Silicon under the gate is fully depleted of mobile charge carriers. There is no floating body effect. Page 9

10 Introduction Fully depleted silicon-on-insulator FD-SOI (below 14 nm) Benefits Significant reduction in power consumption below 11 nm Faster switching speed Easier, standard manufacturing process Challanges High cost of initial wafers Variability in V T due to variations in the thickness of silicon thin-film No strain engineering possible Availability of back-biasing to control V T No doping variability Page 10 10
