Impact of sidewall spacer on gate leakage behavior of nano-scale MOSFETs

Semiconductor devices with a low gate leakage current are preferred for low power application. As the devices are scaled down, sidewall spacer for CMOS transistor in nano-domain becomes increasingly critical and plays an important role in device performance evaluation. In this work, gate tunnelin...
