Analysis of Variation and Ferroelectric Layer Thickness on Negative Capacitance Nanowire Field-Effect Transistor
We investigate the interrelation between some variations and the stability of Negative Capacitance Field-Effect Transistors (NC FETs). When a variation effect is considered, stability issues which are making hysteretic operation should be considered for NC FETs as well. In this paper,
to make sure of stability and hysteresis-free operation, a thickness margin of ferroelectric layer is suggested. It is the easiest solution for designing and surest method of vouching for hysteresis-free operation. Although some disadvantages which make subthreshold swing (SS) a bit higher
than without a margin on thickness of ferroelectric layer (T
FE) can be caused, both still high performance and stable operation can be achieved.
