Influence of HALO and source/drain implantation on threshold voltage in 45nm PMOS device

In this paper, we investigate the influence of process parameters like HALO and Source/Drain (S/D) Implantation on threshold voltage in 45nm PMOS device. The settings of process parameters were determined by using Taguchi experimental design method. The level of importance of the process parameters...
