Abstract
This paper presents optimization of drain/source extension length of 5 nm node Nano-sheet Transistor (NSHT) using a fully-calibrated TCAD platform. A 12 nm extension length shows a 49.5% increase in ION/IOFF compared to NSHT with a 5 nm extension length. For the extension lengths longer than 12 nm, ION/IOFF begins degrading. SHEs effects are worse for higher supply voltages (VDD). An increase in VDD from 0.7 V to 1.5 V results in a 50.89% increase in peak lattice temperature for the NSHT. Also, at VDD = 1.5 V, the ON current (ION) degrades by 12.27% when SHEs are considered. Finally, the effect of different spacer dielectric materials on SHEs is studied for the optimized NSHT device. The ION degradations of 11.73%, 10.68%, and 12.27% are observed for HfO2, Si3N4, and SiO2, respectively. The use of spacer dielectric with larger thermal conductivity is observed as a possible remedy to tackle the ION degradation.
