Performance Comparison of s-Si, In0.53Ga0.47As, Monolayer BP, and WS₂-Based n-MOSFETs for Future Technology Nodes-Part I: Device-Level Comparison
2019
To continue with the scaling of high-performance transistors, alternate materials and device architectures are being explored as replacements for contemporary strained-silicon (s-Si) FinFETs. While III–V materials, such as In

-based planar and multigate (Fin and NW) n-MOSFETs across three successive future technology nodes. The analysis incorporates both intrinsic device characteristics obtained from an advanced quantum mechanical simulation tool and the effect of nonidealities using a physics-based analytical model. The results indicate that 2-D materials, such as monolayer BP, offers higher ON currents than s-Si and In
