In this paper we show a 50nm depleted-substrate CMOS transistor (DST) technology fabricated on thin-silicon body (<30nm) which demonstrates significant performance gain (subthreshold slopes<70mV/decade, DIBL<50mV/V, 30% Ion gain) and >30% power reduction over bulk Si CMOS without the floating body effect. |
