Abstract

Suppression of leakage current and reduction in device-to-device variability are key challenges for sub-45nm CMOS technologies. Nonclassical transistor structures such as the FinFET are likely necessary to meet transistor performance requirements in the sub-20nm gate length regime. This paper presents an overview of FinFET technology and describes how it can be used to improve the performance, standby power consumption, and variability in nanoscale-CMOS digital ICs.
