Impact of ferroelectric polarization dynamics on thermal reliability in Ferro-FinFETs

WMWenxuan MaYPYue PengQWQiuxia Wu

Key Points

  • This research investigates how ferroelectric polarization dynamics affect thermal reliability in Ferro-FinFET devices.
  • Experimentally varied voltage from 3 V to 7 V to observe thermal effects over timescales from 10 ns to 1 µs.
  • Monitored peak temperatures and thermal hotspot migrations related to polarization.
  • Evaluated heat dissipation limitations under specific boundary conditions.
  • Observed peak temperature increase from 379 K to 400 K with voltage changes.
  • Documented migration of thermal hotspots toward the channel center due to increased polarization and current density.
  • Identified a trade-off between enhanced memory performance and elevated thermal risks.

Abstract

) from 3 V (10 ns) to 7 V (1 µs) raises the peak temperature from approximately 379 K (375 K) to 400 K (396 K). Concurrently, thermal hotspots migrate from the drain/channel junction toward the channel center, attributed to enhanced polarization, higher current density, and redistribution of the electric field. This thermal imbalance, under fixed boundary conditions, limits heat dissipation in the channel center. These findings highlight a trade-off between polarization-induced memory window enhancement and elevated thermal risk, providing valuable insights for the thermoelectric co-design and optimization of Ferro-FinFET-based memory devices.
