Abstract:
The effect of band edge states is the critical issue for cryogenic CMOS, which worsens the performance of conventional MOSFETs at cryogenic temperature (Cryo-T) with saturated subthreshold swing (SS), large transition region (inflection phenomenon) and limited mobility. To address these problems, we fabricated gate-all-around (GAA) Si nanowire (NW) MOSFETs using fully silicided source/drain and dopant segregation. The effect of band edge states is significantly suppressed using this technology. Thus, SS, the effective average \mathrm{SS_{th}} and the transconductance (Gm) continuously improve as temperature decreases allowing us to achieve high performance NW FETs at 5.5 K with a record small SS of 2.3 mV/dec, ultra-small DIBL of 0.02 mV/V, and high Gm of 1.25mS/\mum at Vd= 0.1V.
