Abstract: 

In this paper, the gate-induced drain leakage (GIDL) is analyzed on gate-all-around (GAA) Nanowire FET (NW FET) with ellipse-shaped channel induced by process variation effect (PVE). The fabrication process of nanowire can lead to change the shape of channel cross section from circle to ellipse. The effect of distorted channel shape is investigated and verified by technology computer-aided design (TCAD) simulation in terms of the GIDL current. The simulation results demonstrate that the components of GIDL current are two mechanisms of longitudinal band-to-band tunneling (L-BTBT) at body/drain junction and transverse band-to-band tunneling (T-BTBT) at gate/drain junction. These two mechanisms are investigated on channel radius (rnw) and aspect ratio of ellipse-shape respectively and together.
