Abstract: MOSFETs have always been the workhorse of
semiconductor industry, with passing decades the sizes of MOSFETs have been
continuously decreasing. This is guided by decrease in the gate length or
channel length. However decrease in channel length of
planar MOSFETs has reached its saturation level due to short channel effects
and DIBL. In this paper we have tried to present an electrical comparison
between 32nm node technology and 20nm node technology of planar MOS structures.
The structures have been fabricated using SILVACO TCAD software and study of
threshold voltages and corresponding oxide thickness has been made.
