Title
Nano-CMOS at the End of the Two-Dimensional Scaling – FinFETs on SOI Nanowires

Abstract
It is highly likely that in 12 years nano-CMOS will reach the end of the 2-D scaling roadmap. Current 20nm CMOS production technologies already are hampered by large variations in electrical parameters, with impacts on performance predictability, power consumption limitations, and design closure for complex systems. The downscaling to 7/10nm are made possible due to the FinFETs-on-SOI characteristics. This talk presents results on simulations for dual-gate FinFETs done at PGMICRO-UFRGS and measurements taken on IMEC devices with fin widths from 08 to 20 nm, which show the main structural parameters for optimized FinFETs. The likely show-stoppers for these devices and related challenges for integrating giga-scale systems in the next 10 years will be addressed.

SHORT CVs
Sergio Bampi is a full professor at the Microelectronics Group at UFRGS Federal University at Porto Alegre since 1986, where he leads a CMOS design group of both digital and analog mixed-signal circuits. He received the B.Sc in Electronics and the B.Sc. in Physics from the Federal Univ. of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS, 1979), and the M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from Stanford University in 1986. He served as Distinguished Lecturer (2009-10) of IEEE Circuits and Systems Society, worked as the Technical Director of the Microelectronics Center CEITEC in Brazil, now a public company. Sergio Bampi is project leader in the Microelectronics and Computer Science Ph.D. Programs, and his research interests are in the areas of dedicated complex architectures and ASICs for image and video processing, CMOS circuit design and modeling, nano-CMOS devices, mixed signal and RF CMOS design, low power digital design. He has co-authored more than 300 papers in these fields and in MOS devices, circuits, technology and CAD. He served on the TPC of IEEE conferences like ICCAD, VLSI-SoC, ICM, LASCAS and DATE. Sergio Bampi was the President of the Research Funding agency FAPERGS in Brazil, President of the Brazilian Microelectronics Society (2002-2004), and Coordinator of the Graduate Program on Microelectronics at Federal University UFRGS (2003-2007). He is a member of IEEE CAS, Computer, EDS, and SSC Societies.
