N2 - Fluctuation in drain induced barrier lowering (DIBL) has been investigated in detail for FinFETs with regard to work function variation (WFV) in the metal gates (MGs). The FinFETs with a polycrystalline TiN MG exhibit significantly larger fluctuation in DIBL than that for an amorphous TaSiN MG because of the WFV. The granular WFV of TiN was modeled using 3D TCAD simulation. By reproducing the DIBL fluctuation caused by the WFV, mechanism of how the WFV causes the DIBL fluctuation is discussed.
