A solution for an ideal planar multi-gates process for ultimate CMOS?

We demonstrate for the first time high-performant planar multi-gates devices with Si-conduction channel of 4nm, allowing drive current up to 1350µA/µm @Ioff=0.4nA/µm (Vdd=1.1V, CET=1.9nm). But as future multi-gates transistors need to have reduced capacitances and a simple robust process, we also demonstrate in this paper an ideal planar self-aligned solution, based on the direct exposure of a HSQ layer through a 5nm Si-channel. This opens the way to an easy planar multi-gate process for ultimate CMOS (11nm node & below), fully co-integrable with conventional devices.
