Exploring sub-20nm FinFET design with predictive technology models

Predictive MOSFET models are critical for early stage design-technology co-optimization and circuit design research. In this work, Predictive Technology Model files for sub-20nm multi-gate transistors have been developed (PTM-MG). Based on MOSFET scaling theory, the 2011 ITRS roadmap and early stage silicon data from published results, PTM for FinFET devices are generated for 5 technology nodes corresponding to the years 2012-2020 on the ITRS roadmap.
