This paper describes the design, fabrication, and characterization of 0.1-μm-channel CMOS devices with dual n+/p+ polysilicon gates on 35-angstrom gate oxide. A 2× performance gain over 2.5-V, 0.25-μm CMOS technology is achieved at a power supply voltage of 1.5 V. In addition, a 20× reduction in active power per circuit is obtained at a supply voltage < 1 V with the same delay as the 0.25-μm CMOS. These results demonstrate the feasibility of high-performance and low-power room-temperature 0.1-μm CMOS technology. Beyond 0.1 μm, a number of fundamental device and technology issues must be examined: oxide and silicon tunneling, random dopant distribution, threshold voltage nonscaling, and interconnect delays. Several alternative device structures (in particular, low-temperature CMOS and double-gate MOSFET) for exploring the outermost limit of silicon scaling are discussed.
