TCAD modeling challenges for 14nm FullyDepleted SOI technology performance assessment

Abstract

This paper reviews the main challenges for the TCAD of 14nm Fully-Depleted Silicon-On-Insulator (FDSOI) technology performance assessment. Thanks to a multi-scale approach combining extensive electrical characterization and advanced solvers simulations, ensuring deep physical insight, we provide TCAD simulation framework for device layout optimization, strain engineering and device reliability assessment.
