Gate length scaling and high drive currents enabled for high performance SOI technology using high-κ/metal gate
Bibliographic record
Abstract
CMOS devices with high-k/metal gate stacks have been fabricated using a gate-first process flow and conventional stressors at gate lengths of 25 nm, highlighting the scalability of this approach for high performance SOI CMOS technology. AC drive currents of 1630muA/mum and 1190muA/mum have been demonstrated in 45 nm ground-rules at 1V and 200nA/mum off current for nFETs and pFETs, at a Tinv of 14 and 15 respectively. The drive currents were achieved using a simplified high-k/metal gate integration scheme with embedded SiGe and dual stress liners (DSL) and without utilizing additional stress enhancers. Devices have been fabricated with Tinv's down to 12 and 10.5 demonstrating the scalability of this approach for 32 nm and beyond.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
