Abstract

A review of the main mobility results obtained in short channel devices (here GAA/DG, FD-SOI MOSFETs and FinFETs) are discussed for better understanding their transport limitations and performances. Regarding short channel GAA, FD-SOI and FinFET MOS devices, it has been shown that the mobility is strongly degraded at small gate length, whatever the architecture, the gate stack and the measurement method used. In particular, it has been found that, for FD-SOI, the mobility is more degraded at the top interface than at the bottom interface, revealing that defects are more numerous at the top channel region.
