Metal/high-k SOI MOSFETs with NiSi

/Si (111)-facetted FUSI S/D are promising for aggressively scaled devices down to sub-10 nm gate length. The facet junction technique that we have developed works more effectively as the gate length becomes smaller. This device concept can be applied to 3D structures such as FinFETs, and it can also relieve the scaling of SOI thickness
