Analytical Modelling of Ferroelectricity Instigated Enhanced Electrostatic Control in Short-Channel FinFETs

This study simulated negative-capacitance double gate FinFETs with channel lengths ranging from
$25\text{nm}$
to 100nm using TCAD. The results show that negative capacitance significantly reduces subthreshold swing as well as drain induced barrier lowering effects. The improvement is found to be significantly more prominent for short channel devices than long ones, which demonstrates the tremendous advantage of negative capacitance gate stack for scaled MOSFETs. A compact analytical formulation is developed to quantify sub-threshold swing improvement for short channel devices.
