Performance and Analysis of n-Type Vertically Stacked Nanowires Regarding Harmonic Distortion

Abstract

Thispaperstudies theharmonic distortion (or non-linearity) of vertically stacked SOI nanowireswith differ-ent fin widths and channel lengths. The total harmonic distor-tion and third order harmonic distortion areused as figuresof meritin this work. The harmonicdistortion analysis is per-formed taking in consideration the differences between transis-tor’s intrinsic voltage gain and transconductance over drain current ratio.
