  • Abstract
    In this work, we investigate the Vth variability of Si- and Ge-channel FinFET with various surface orientations using analytical solution of Schrδdinger equation. The theoretical model provides us a physical and efficient method to explore the impact of quantum-confinement effect. In addition, to validate the results predicted by the theoretical model, we also perform the 3-D atomistic simulation to assess the Vth dispersion due to fin line-edge-roughness (fin-LER) for FinFET with various surface orientations.
