摘要
The random variation sources have a significant influence on the performance of ferroelectric field-effect transistor (FeFET). In this work, comparative analysis on the process variation induced variability of FeFET towards a 7 nm technology node has been conducted, including different device structures from bulk to FDSOI and FinFET. The random ferroelectric/dielectric phase variation (PV), the metal work function variation (WFV) and the line-edge roughness (LER) effects are incorporated in TCAD simulations to quantitatively investigate their impacts on the threshold voltage variation. Especially, the Voronoi diagram is employed to realistically model the ferroelectric grain distributions and to accurately simulate the impact of PV on FeFET characteristics.
