LCINDEP: a novel technique for leakage reduction in FinFET based circuits
Semiconductor Science and Technology

As a result of voltage scaling at lower technology nodes, threshold voltage decreases which results in increase in leakage current, hence leads to increase in leakage power dissipation. In this paper, a novel low leakage technique called LCINDEP (leakage control input DEPendent) is proposed for nano-scaled circuits. The device characteristics and hence overall performance gets affected due to increased power dissipation. Proposed LCINDEP technique is extensively demonstrated for low power operation and reliability analysis. Various short gate (SG) fin type field effect transistor (FinFET) logic circuits are simulated using LCINDEP technique and comparative analysis is performed with the already available leakage reduction techniques. The proposed LCINDEP technique provides reduced leakage power by 89.71% and 9...

We show that the BMF of suitable workfunction of the proposed device BMF-SOI-JLFET can control the channel electrostatic field by employing Schottky junction effectively. The enhanced association of potential between BMF and the channel combined with gate electric field makes it worthy for multi-threshold and dynamic threshold (DT) operation. Additionally, the biasing of BMF projects the broad range of threshold voltage (VTH) regulation with a high value of body factor (γ). The proposed device demonstrates γ enhancement compared to fin body (FB)-JLFET and conventional SOI-JL FET under identical conditions due to constant potential coupling. The DT mode of operation shows a 73% improvement in ON-state current in addition to reduced subthreshold swing contrast to BMF-SOI-JLFET without DT. This paper imparts a viable option for low power applications with multi-threshold opera...
