Abstract

A 10nm logic technology using 3rd-generation FinFET transistors with Self-Aligned Quad Patterning (SAQP) for critical patterning layers, and cobalt local interconnects at three local interconnect layers is described. For high density, a novel self-aligned contact over active gate process and elimination of the dummy gate at cell boundaries are introduced. The transistors feature rectangular fins with 7nm fin width and 46nm fin height, 5thgeneration high-k metal gate, and 7th-generation strained silicon. Four or six workfunction metal stacks are used to enable undoped fins for low Vt, standard Vt and optional high Vt devices. Interconnects feature 12 metal layers with ultra-low-k dielectrics throughout the interconnect stack. The highest drive currents with the highest cell densities are reported for a 10nm technology.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
