Partial Isolation Type Saddle-FinFET(Pi-FinFET) for Sub-30 nm DRAM Cell Transistors

In this paper, we proposed a novel saddle type FinFET (S-FinFET) to effectively solve problems occurring under the capacitor node of a dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) cell and showed how its structure was superior to conventional S-FinFETs in terms of short channel effect (SCE), subthreshold slo...
