Performance advantage of schottky source/drain in ultrathin-body silicon-on-insulator and dual-gate cmos

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Here, for the first time, advanced simulation models are used to investigate the performance advantage of Schottky source/drain ultrathin-silicon technologies at a 25-nm gate length target. Schottky and doped source/drain MOSFETs were optimized and compared using a novel benchmark. Mixed-mode simulations of optimized devices in a two-stage NAND chain show an approximate 45% speed advantage of Schottky source/drain for one set of parameter choices. Contact requirements for Schottky source/drain, and for doped source/drain relative to ITRS targets through 2016, are discussed.
