Unveiling the Scaling Potential of Drain Merge through Active (DMtA) in CFETs: Breaking the Super-Via Bottlenecks and Unlocking New PPA Boosters
Jingru Jiang, Haoran Lu, Kairong Guo +11
Drain merge (DM), a super via vertically connecting the common S/D terminals of stacked n/pFETs in Complementary FETs (CFETs), blocks further parasitic optimization and cell scalin…
Experimental Observation of Extremely Strong Defect-Phonon Scatterings in Semiconductor Single Crystals
Zifeng Huang, Jianbo Liang, Yuxiang Wang +5
The role of doping in tailoring thermal transport in semiconductors is critical for efficient thermal management in electronic devices. While the effects of doping have been extens…
Design Optimization of Flip FET Standard Cells with Dual-sided Pins for Ultimate Scaling
Rui Gui, Haoran Lu, Jiacheng Sun +7
Recently, we proposed a novel transistor architecture for 3D stacked FETs called Flip FET (FFET), featuring N/P transistors back-to-back stacked and dual-sided interconnects. With…
Overlay-aware Variation Study of Flip FET and Benchmark with CFET
Wanyue Peng, Haoran Lu, Jingru Jiang +5
In this work, we carried out an overlay-aware variation study on Flip FET (FFET) considering the impact on RC parasitics induced by the lithography misalignment in backside process…
Thermal Conductivity of Cubic Silicon Carbide Single Crystals Heavily Doped by Nitrogen
Zifeng Huang, Yunfan Yang, Da Sheng +7
High-purity cubic silicon carbide possesses the second-highest thermal conductivity among large-scale crystals, surpassed only by diamond, making it crucial for practical applicati…
