High-performance devices for a 0.15- mu m CMOS technology

摘要

Devices have been designed and fabricated in a CMOS technology with a nominal channel length of 0.15 mu m and minimum channel length below 0.1 mu m. In order to minimize short-channel effects (SCEs) down to channel lengths below 0.1 mu m, highly nonuniform channel dopings (obtained by indium and antimony channel implants) and shallow source-drain extensions/halo (by In and Sb preamorphization and low-energy As and BF/sub 2/ implant were used. Maximum high V/sub DS/ threshold rolloff was 250 mV at effective channel length of 0.06 mu m. For the minimum channel length of 0.1 mu m, the loaded (FI=FO=3, C=240 fF) and unloaded delays were 150 and 25 ps, respectively.
