Abstract

In this work a quasi-analytical physical model for the accurate prediction of the potential of GAA nanowire transistors with an arbitrary regular polygon as a cross section is developed. Two case studies concerning triangular and square cross-sections are particularly investigated and analyzed. The model is then extended to the transport direction; general expressions for the natural length are derived and validated by means of two- and three-dimensional numerical device simulations. Basic design guidelines, using an original analytical expression of the natural length, for robust electrostatic design are proposed, to predict the minimum technological gate length able to assure immunity to the SeEs. ©2009 IEEE.

Equilateral triangle

In geometry, an equilateral triangle is a triangle in which all three sides have the same length. In the familiar Euclidean geometry, an equilateral triangle is also equiangular; that is, all three internal angles are also congruent to each other and are each 60°. It is also a regular polygon, so it is also referred to as a regular triangle.

Hexagon

In geometry, a hexagon (from Greek ἕξ, hex, meaning "six", and γωνία, gonía, meaning "corner, angle") is a six-sided polygon. The total of the internal angles of any simple (non-self-intersecting) hexagon is 720°. A regular hexagon has Schläfli symbol {6} and can also be constructed as a truncated equilateral triangle, t{3}, which alternates two types of edges. A regular hexagon is defined as a hexagon that is both equilateral and equiangular. It is bicentric, meaning that it is both cyclic (has a circumscribed circle) and tangential (has an inscribed circle).

Regular polygon

In Euclidean geometry, a regular polygon is a polygon that is direct equiangular (all angles are equal in measure) and equilateral (all sides have the same length). Regular polygons may be either convex, star or skew. In the limit, a sequence of regular polygons with an increasing number of sides approximates a circle, if the perimeter or area is fixed, or a regular apeirogon (effectively a straight line), if the edge length is fixed. These properties apply to all regular polygons, whether convex or star.
