Design and optimization of 22nm NMOS transistor

In this paper, we investigate the effects of four process parameters and two process noise parameters on the threshold voltage (V th) of a 22nm NMOS transistor. We used TiO 2 as the high-k material to replace the SiO 2 dielectric. The NMOS transistor was simulated using the fabrication tool ATHENA a...
