Description The potential impact of high permittivity gate dielectrics on device short channel and circuit performance is studied over a wide range of dielectric permittivities (Kgate) using two-dimensional (2-D) device and Monte Carlo simulations. The gate-to-channel capacitance and parasitic fringe capacitances are extracted using a highly accurate three-dimensional (3-D) capacitance extractor. It is observed that there is a decrease in parasitic outer fringe capacitance and gate-to-channel capacitance in addition to an increase in internal fringe capacitance, when the conventional silicon dioxide is replaced by a high-K gate dielectric. The lower parasitic outer fringe capacitance is beneficial for the circuit performance, while the increase in internal fringe capacitance and the decrease in the gate-to-channel capacitance will degrade the short channel performance contributing to higher DIBL, drain leakage, and lower noise margin. It is shown that using low-K gate sidewalls with high-K gate insulators can decrease the fringing-induced barrier lowering. Also, from the circuit point of view, for the 70-nm technology generation, the presence of an optimum Kgate for different target subthreshold leakage currents has been identified.
