Abstract

Abstract Triangular fin (Tri-Fin) channel double-gate (DG) MOSFETs were successfully fabricated on (1 0 0) SOTB wafers using orientation dependent wet etching, and their electrical characteristics were systematically compared to the rectangular fin (Rec-Fin) ones by RIE. Thanks to the wide bottom area and the suppressed line edge roughness of Tri-Fins by the wet process, a higher threshold voltage (Vt) tunability and a smaller Vt variation were obtained as compared to the Rec-Fin ones. Moreover, the wet processed Tri-Fin devices provide a damage-free BOX layer, which is useful for the fabrication of multiple Vt devices with an ultrathin BOX layer.
