Figure 1 – Conceptual representation of (a) a single-row CFET and (b) a double-row CFET. The layout of a flip-flop (D-type flip-flop or DFF) shows a reduction of the cell height and area by 24 nm (or 12.5%) when transitioning from a single-row to a double-row CFET (H. Kuekner et al., IEDM 2024). Figure 2 – Virtual process flow for building a double-row CFET architecture. The process flow, simulated with 3D Coventor, started from the specifications of a ‘virtual’ CFET fab, projecting future processing capabilities and design margins (H. Kuekner et al., IEDM 2024). The zoom-in represents a TEM of a monolithic CFET technology demonstrator fabricated within imec’s 300mm R&D cleanroom facility (A. Vandooren et al., IEDM 2024).
