May │ 2017 Samsung set to lead the future of foundry with comprehensive process roadmap down to 4nm 4LPP (4nm Low Power Plus): 4LPP will be the first implementation of next generation device architecture – MBCFETTM structure (Multi Bridge Channel FET). MBCFETTM is Samsung’s unique GAAFET (Gate All Around FET) technology that uses a Nanosheet device to overcome the physical scaling and performance limitations of the FinFET architecture. https://news.samsung.com/global/samsung-set-to-lead-the-future-of-foundry-with- comprehensive-process-roadmap-down-to-4nm June │ 2017 IBM claims 5nm Nanosheet breakthough IBM researchers and their partners have developed a new transistor architecture based on Stacked

Silicon Nanosheets that they believe will make FinFETs obsolete at the 5nm node

Summary

  • Fabrication of vertically stacked Nanosheet MOSFETs (RMG process)

are now demonstrated (inner spacers, SiGe:B S/D, 44/48 CPP)

  • Horizontal GAA Nanosheet also have the advantage of being

fabricated with minimal deviation from FinFET (FF) devices in contrast to vertical NWs which require more disruptive technological changes

  • Strain characterization at different steps of fabrication (PED)

Efficiency of process-induced strain (SiGe S/D)  significant compressive strain (~0.5 to 1%) in top and bottom Si p-channels

  • Design flexibility: Nanosheet transistors offers more freedom to

designers for the power-performance optimization thanks to a fine tuning of the device width.
