摘要
A thermal simulation module, based on the solution of the coupled Heat Flow, Poisson, and Current Continuity Equations, has been developed and implemented in the 'atomistic' simulator GARAND to investigate the impact of self heating on FinFET DC operation. A progressive study of coupled electro-thermal simulation for FinFETs is presented. A new approximate formula for the reduced thermal conductivity due to phonon-boundary scattering in the fin is presented which considers both the fin height and the fin width, and is both position and temperature dependent. Simulation results for a SOI FinFET and a bulk FinFET example are compared and analysed.
