Abstract

Sea-level soft error performance has been investigated for Si FinFET, III-V FinFET and III-V Heterojunction Tunnel FET in this paper. Transient error generation and transient current profiles in these devices have been evaluated using device simulation. Based on the critical charge extraction for each emerging device-based circuit, the electrical and latching window masking effects have been studied. Below 0.5V, III-V FinFET logic shows reduced soft error rate (SER) compared to Si FinFET. HTFET shows reduced SER for both SRAM and logic compared to Si and III-V FinFET over the evaluated voltage range of 0.3V-0.6V.
