摘要
We have found that narrow channel PFET's do not have the same effective channel length as wide PFET's with the same polysilicon length. Narrow PFET devices are longer than their wide counterparts by 20-40 nln while narrow NFET devices are negligibly different from wide NFET's. This phenomenon occurs in a wide variety of technologies, from 0.13 and 0.18 mu m technologies with extension/halo devices to a 0.35-mu m technology with simple abrupt-junction devices. Depending on the details of the short-channel rolloff behavior, this phenomenon may result in apparent anomalous narrow-channel threshold voltage behavior. We suggest that the modification of the boron redistribution by the mechanical stress imposed by the bounding isolation SiO2 may explain the effect.
