Abstract
In this paper, we have carried out a numerical simulation of FinFETs. The model is based on ID non-equilibrium Green’s function (NEGF) along the channel and 2-D Schrödinger equation in the confined cross section and provides insights into the performance of FinFETs with ultra small channel cross section. The simulation results of FinFETs show normal I—V characteristics with great potential in scalability even when the gate length is below 5 nm with 2-by-2 nm channel cross section.
