In this paper, we present the impact of downscaling of nano-channel
dimensions of Indium Arsenide Fin Feld Effect Transistor (InAs- FinFET) on
electrical characteristics of the transistor, in particular; (i) ION/IOFF ratio,
(ii) Subthreshold Swing (SS), Threshold voltage (VT), and Drain-induced
barrier lowering (DIBL). MuGFET simulation tool was utilized to simulate
and compare the considered characteristics based on variable channel
dimensions: length, width and oxide thickness. The results demonstrate that
the best performance of InAs- FinFET was achieved with channel length =
25 nm, width= 5 nm, and oxide thickness between 1.5 to 2.5 nm according to
the selected scaling factor (K = 0.125).

1. INTRODUCTION
Nowadays, the application of nanoscience and its inherent technology has been extensively used in
interdisciplinary research most especially for the past two decades. The concept of nanotechnology involves
the use of low dimensional materials with different structural configurations which include the nanowires,
Nano-rods, Nano photo laser production, nanotubes or Nano-crystalline films [1, 2]. Nanoelectronic
applications have benefited enormously from the great advancement in the emerging Nano-technology
industry and Internet of Things applications [3, 4]. The tremendous downscaling of the transistors’
dimensions has enabled the placement of over 100 million transistors on a single chip, thus reduced cost,
increased functionality, and enhanced performance of integrated circuits (ICs) [5, 6]. However, shrinking size
of the conventional planar transistors would be exceptionally challenging due to leakages, ,electrostatics,
energy consumption and other fabrication issues [7-9].
Many researchers and engineers have made lots of efforts on the discovery of different varieties of
nanoscale materials such as the field-effect transistor (FET) devices. That application is largely due to
the improved properties of these materials which include greater strength, lighter weight, and higher
resistance to chemical reactions [10, 11]. In recent years, the uses of FET transistors are widely prevalent in
many integrated circuits (ICs). Fin Field Effect Transistor (FinFET) shows a great potential in scalability and
manufacturability as a promising candidate in nanoscale complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor
(CMOS) technologies [12-15]. The structure of FinFET provides superior electrical control over the channel
conduction, thus, it has attracted widespread interest from researchers in both academia and industry [16-18].
However, aggressively scaling down of channel dimensions, mainly the channel length, will degrade
the overall performance due to detrimental short channel effects (SCEs) [19, 20].

New FET structures are being explored on a large scale with one of the structures such as
the FinFET, which are described as MOSFET built on a material where the gate is supported by two-to-four
channels or configured by to form a dual gate structure [21]. The FinFET’s structure is based on the presence
of a fin that is perpendicular to the substrate superficies. The conduction occurs thus in two parallel channels
that are in vertical plans the conduction remaining parallel to the substrate surface between drain and source
area. The drain current is flowing on both sides of the fin is a way to increase the discharge source for
the same area in the channel region [22, 23].
In this study, we simulate and analyze the impact of reducing channel dimensions [length (L), width
(W), and oxide thickness (Tox)] on InAs-FinFET performance in terms of various electrical characteristics,
namely; (i) ION/IOFF ratio, (ii) Subthreshold Swing (SS), Threshold voltage (VT), and Drain-induced barrier
lowering (DIBL). Furthermore, we exploit a scaling factor, K to downscale all dimensions (L, W, and Tox)
together and identify the best performance based on the selected scaling factor. According to the highest
ION/IOFF ratio, and nearest SS to the ideal SS, we have designed the best channel dimensions of InAs-FinFET.
The remaining part of this paper is structured as follows: The next section presents simulation modeling.
Section 3 introduces results and discussions. Finally, a conclusions are drawn up in Section 4.
2. RESEARCH METHOD
2.1. Simulation tools
In this study, the well-known MuGFET [24, 25] which is developed and designed by Purdue
University (USA) is used as the simulation tool. MuGFET can select either PADRE or PROPHET for
simulation, in which both simulator are developed by Bell Laboratories. PROPHET is a partial differential
equation profiler for one, two or three dimensions, whereas PADRE is a device-oriented simulator for 2D or
3D devices with arbitrary geometry. The software can generate useful characteristic FET curves for
engineers, especially to fully explain the underlying physics of FETs. It can also provide self-consistent
solutions to poison and drift-diffusion equations.
2.2. Simulation design
This simulation tool is utilized to investigate the characteristics of the InAs-FinFET transistor based
on various channel’s dimensions. The output characteristic curves of the transistor under different conditions
and with different parameters are considered. The effects of variable channel dimensions, namely; channel
length, width and oxide thickness in addition to scaling factor of the InAs-FinFET transistor, are determined
based on the I–V characteristics that derived from the simulation. In this paper, the Id–Vg characteristics of
InAs-FinFET at the temperature of 300 K are simulated and evaluated with the simulation parameters that
listed in Table 1.

Four simulation experiments were designed to evaluate the performance of InAs-FinFET in terms of
the considered metrics. In the first scenario, channel length was changed, whereas other dimensions (W and
Tox) were kept constant. In the second scenario, the impact of changing channel width was investigated
while both length and thickness of channel were kept constant. In the third scenario, oxide thickness was
changed and length and width were fixed. Finally, the impact of changing scaling factor was studied
by changing the three dimensions all at once based on a changeable scaling factor.

are determined based on the I–V characteristics that derived from the simulation. In this paper, the Id–Vg
characteristics of InAs-FinFET at the temperature of 300 K are simulated and evaluated.
Four simulation experiments were designed to evaluate the performance of InAs-FinFET in terms of
the considered metrics. In the first scenario, channel length was changed, whereas other dimensions (W and
TOX) were kept constant. In the second scenario, the impact of changing channel width was investigated
while both the length and thickness of the channel were kept constant. In the third scenario, oxide thickness
was changed and length and width were fixed. Finally, the impact of changing scaling factor was studied by
changing the three dimensions all at once based on a changeable scaling factor. This section investigates the
effect of channel dimensions on the I–V characteristics of InAs-FinFET. A simulation tool (MuGFET) was
used to investigate the effect of channel dimensions on its electrical characteristics.
3.1. Impact of varying channel length
The scaling down of channel length L and its effect on the characteristics of InAs FinFET have been
studied. The simulation of transfer characteristics (drain current Id –gate voltage Vg) have been down with
different channel lengths (L) channel width (W) and oxide thicknesses (TOX). The limitation parameters were
used to find the optimal channel dimensions were ION/IOFF ratio (where IOFF is an Id at OFF state at Vg = 0 V
and ION is an Id at ON state at Vg = 1 V) and sub-threshold swing (SS) and the threshold voltage (VT) and
drain-induced barrier lowering (DIBL).
Figure 1(a) illustrates the relation between ION/IOFF ratio with the channel length of 10 15 25 35 and
45 nm and at W = 5 nm and TOX = 2.5 nm the ION /IOFF ratio increased to 106
for increasing L from 10 to
40 nm for VDD = 5 V. For VDD= 5 V increased value for ION/IOFF ratio were more than104
at L =40 nm. It is
noticed that for L range from 10 to 30nm the highest ION/IOFF ratio happen for VDD= 5 V while for 30 to
45 nm, L range the highest ION/IOFF ratio happen for VDD= 5 V where the lowest leakage current IOFF.

the channel length was 10, 15, 25, 35 and 45 nm the W = 5 nm and TOX = 2.5 nm. This figure illustrated that
the value SS started with 124 mV/dec at L = 10 nm and at L = 15 nm this value to becomes the nearest value

to the ideal SS (101 mV/dec) were happen. The furthest value from the ideal SS (59.5 mV/dec) where the
higher channel length at L = 45nm, SS = 169.9 mV/dec where the transistor is slower.
Figure 1(c) depicts the variation of both VT and DIBL with different channel length value of VT is
proportional increases with channel length and reaches to 1.2 V at the longest channel. On the other hand,
DIBL increases as channel length increased from 360 mV/V at L = 10 until it reached 517 mV/V at
L = 45 nm leading to poor electrical conductivity due to the high DIBL value. According to the obtained
characteristics in this scenario, the best performance in terms of both the ION/IOFF ratio and SS value can be
achieved in the case with 25 nm channel length. However, in the case with L = 45 nm, although ION/IOFF ratio
is the best, the SS value is too far from idle SS.
3.2. Impact of varying channel width
The scaling down of channel width W and its effect on the characteristics of InAs-FinFET have
been studied in this scenario. The value of W was changed (5, 10, 15 and 20 nm) while L and TOX were set to
40 nm and = 2.5 nm respectively. Figure 2 shows the electrical characteristics, ION/IOFF ratio, SS, VT, and
DIBL correspondingly. The ION/IOFF ratio for both voltages (VDD = 5 V and VDD = 5 V) in terms of the
varying width of the channel are illustrated in Figure 2(a). Unlike the channel length scenario, the ratio is
inversely proportional with channel width. Ratios for both voltages drop down to approximately 103
when W
increases to 20 nm. In contrast, the highest ION/IOFF ratio (more than 106
) was achieved for VDD = 5 V with
the smallest channel width. Figure 2(b) depicts the variation of SS value with variable channel width. The
closest SS to ideal value was achieved at W = 5 nm which is 124 mV/dec, then it was increased to
156 mV/dec at W = 20 nm.
Furthermore, the impacts of varying channel width on VT and DIBL are illustrated in Figure 2(c).
The voltage threshold is almost constant regardless channel width except in the first case with W = 5 nm,
where VT scores the highest value of 1.2 V. Finally, the DIBL decreased as channel width increased.
InAs-FinFET achieved worst DIBL = 517 at W = 5 nm then DIBL characteristics improved and achieved
the best value at W = 10 nm.

3.3. Impact of varying channel oxide thickness
Figure 3 shows the channel oxide thickness variation in relation to the electrical characteristics of
InAs-FinFET. For the simulation scenario carried out in Figure 4 channel oxide thickness, TOX has been
varied (1.5, 2.5, 5 and 7 nm), the channel length, L is kept constant at 40 nm, while as the channel width,
W is kept fixed at 5 nm. Figure 3(a) illustrates the relation between the ION/IOFF ratio with the channel oxide
thickness which is consistent with previous channel width scenario. The maximum ION/IOFF ratio (more than
106
) with VDD = 5 V was obtained at minimum TOX = 1.5 nm and then decreased to 103
at TOX = 7 nm.
From the results shown in Figure 3(b), it is obvious that for a channel oxide thickness, TOX = 7 nm the InAs-
FinFET has shown better SS characteristics with the best SS value of 140 mV/dec compared to other TOX
values. Conversely, the farthest value from ideal SS occurred at TOX = 5 nm where SS is 216 mV/dec. On the
other hands, in Figure 3(c) displays channel oxide thickness versus both VT and DIBL characteristics of
InAs-FinFET. Both characteristics behave inconsistent manner with decreasing channel thickness,
they decrease as TOX decreased. The best VT = 15.8 V at the highest TOX value, whereas the best value of
DIBL is 165 mV/V at oxide thickness of channel = 1.5 nm.

3.4. Impact of varying scaling factor of channel dimensions
The scaling down of all channel dimensions at once can be achieved by applying scaling factor, K.
All channel dimensions, length, width, and thickness will be scaling-down together by a factor (K). In order
to study the electrical characteristics based on the scaling factor, the reference value of K is defined as “1”
with its channel dimensions. All corresponding dimensions to the defend scaling factors are shown in
Table 2.

Figure 4(a) shows the relation between the ION/IOFF ratio with the scaling factor K from 0.125 to 1.00
The maximum value of ION /IOFF ratio is higher than 104
which was attained at scaling factor K = 0.125 for
both VDD = 5 V and for VDD = 5 V. The worst ION/IOFF ratios, less than 102
occurred at the reference value of
K = 1.00 for both VDD values. Figure 4(b) shows the worst SS value (194 mV/dec) that obtained at K = 1.00
in contrast, the nearest value to the ideal SS (94 mV/dec) is obtained at K = 0.125. It can be noticed that,
with increasing K, the SS value is increased significantly. The impact of changing Scaling Factor (K) on VT
and DIBL is illustrated in Figure 4(c). Where the highest value of VT = 1.28 V is obtained at K = 1.00
compared to the lowest value, VT = 0.7 V at K = 0.125 conversely, the DIBL value ranges from 376 mV/V at
K = 0.125 to 934 mV/V at K = 1.00 and the best value is attained at K = 0.125 which is 195 mV/V.
The summury of main finding for best L, W, TOX and K were illustrated in Table 3, according to this table,
in the first scenario, the best L was at 25nm, the best W in the second scenario was at 5nm, and the best TOX
in the third scenario was at range of 1.5 t0 2.5 nm, these dimentions represent the optimal channel
dimensions for InAs-FinFET based on varying dimentions indevedually. In the last scenario, the propsed
scalling factor achieved smaller limits with acceptable performance.

4. CONCLUSION
The effects of channel dimensions (length, width, and oxide thickness) on electric characteristics of
InAs-FinFET were studied and analyzed using the MuGFET simulation tool. The highest ION/IOFF ratio and
the nearest SS to the ideal value were exploited to design the best nono-dimensions of InAs-FinFET.
According to the obtained results from individual consideration scenarios, the highest L (= 32 to 40 nm),
the lowest W (= 5 nm), and the lowest TOX (= 1.5) nm, are the optimal channel dimensions for InAs-FinFET
based on the considered parameters. Based on scaling factor (K), which shrinking all channel dimentions
semoltenously, the optimal value was at K = 0.125, and it represents the lowest dimensions of the channel
with the best performance in terms of the considered metrics.

INTRODUCTION Nowadays, the application of nanoscience and its inherent technology has been extensively used in interdisciplinary research most especially for the past two decades. The concept of nanotechnology involves the use of low dimensional materials with different structural configurations which include the nanowires, Nano-rods, Nano photo laser production, nanotubes or Nano-crystalline films [1, 2]. Nanoelectronic applications have benefited enormously from the great advancement in the emerging Nano-technology industry and Internet of Things applications [3, 4]. The tremendous downscaling of the transistors’ dimensions has enabled the placement of over 100 million transistors on a single chip, thus reduced cost, increased functionality, and enhanced performance of integrated circuits (ICs) [5, 6]. However, shrinking size of the conventional planar transistors would be exceptionally challenging due to leakages, ,electrostatics, energy consumption and other fabrication issues [7-9]. Many researchers and engineers have made lots of efforts on the discovery of different varieties of nanoscale materials such as the field-effect transistor (FET) devices. That application is largely due to the improved properties of these materials which include greater strength, lighter weight, and higher resistance to chemical reactions [10, 11]. In recent years, the uses of FET transistors are widely prevalent in many integrated circuits (ICs). Fin Field Effect Transistor (FinFET) shows a great potential in scalability and manufacturability as a promising candidate in nanoscale complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technologies [12-15]. The structure of FinFET provides superior electrical control over the channel conduction, thus, it has attracted widespread interest from researchers in both academia and industry [16-18]. However, aggressively scaling down of channel dimensions, mainly the channel length, will degrade the overall performance due to detrimental short channel effects (SCEs) [19, 20].
  • 2. Int J Elec & Comp Eng ISSN: 2088-8708  Effects of downscaling channel dimensions on electrical characteristics of ... (Ahmed Mahmood) 2903 New FET structures are being explored on a large scale with one of the structures such as the FinFET, which are described as MOSFET built on a material where the gate is supported by two-to-four channels or configured by to form a dual gate structure [21]. The FinFET’s structure is based on the presence of a fin that is perpendicular to the substrate superficies. The conduction occurs thus in two parallel channels that are in vertical plans the conduction remaining parallel to the substrate surface between drain and source area. The drain current is flowing on both sides of the fin is a way to increase the discharge source for the same area in the channel region [22, 23]. In this study, we simulate and analyze the impact of reducing channel dimensions [length (L), width (W), and oxide thickness (Tox)] on InAs-FinFET performance in terms of various electrical characteristics, namely; (i) ION/IOFF ratio, (ii) Subthreshold Swing (SS), Threshold voltage (VT), and Drain-induced barrier lowering (DIBL). Furthermore, we exploit a scaling factor, K to downscale all dimensions (L, W, and Tox) together and identify the best performance based on the selected scaling factor. According to the highest ION/IOFF ratio, and nearest SS to the ideal SS, we have designed the best channel dimensions of InAs-FinFET. The remaining part of this paper is structured as follows: The next section presents simulation modeling. Section 3 introduces results and discussions. Finally, a conclusions are drawn up in Section 4. 2. RESEARCH METHOD 2.1. Simulation tools In this study, the well-known MuGFET [24, 25] which is developed and designed by Purdue University (USA) is used as the simulation tool. MuGFET can select either PADRE or PROPHET for simulation, in which both simulator are developed by Bell Laboratories. PROPHET is a partial differential equation profiler for one, two or three dimensions, whereas PADRE is a device-oriented simulator for 2D or 3D devices with arbitrary geometry. The software can generate useful characteristic FET curves for engineers, especially to fully explain the underlying physics of FETs. It can also provide self-consistent solutions to poison and drift-diffusion equations. 2.2. Simulation design This simulation tool is utilized to investigate the characteristics of the InAs-FinFET transistor based on various channel’s dimensions. The output characteristic curves of the transistor under different conditions and with different parameters are considered. The effects of variable channel dimensions, namely; channel length, width and oxide thickness in addition to scaling factor of the InAs-FinFET transistor, are determined based on the I–V characteristics that derived from the simulation. In this paper, the Id–Vg characteristics of InAs-FinFET at the temperature of 300 K are simulated and evaluated with the simulation parameters that listed in Table 1. Table 1. Simulation parameters Parameters value Channel length (L) (10, 15, 25, 35 and 45) nm Channel width (W) (5, 10, 12, 15 and 20) nm Oxide thickness (TOX) (1.5, 2.5, 5 and 7) nm Scaling factor (K) (0.125, 0.25, 0.5 and 1.00) channel concentration p -type 1016 cm−3 channel concentration N -type 1019 cm−3 Four simulation experiments were designed to evaluate the performance of InAs-FinFET in terms of the considered metrics. In the first scenario, channel length was changed, whereas other dimensions (W and Tox) were kept constant. In the second scenario, the impact of changing channel width was investigated while both length and thickness of channel were kept constant. In the third scenario, oxide thickness was changed and length and width were fixed. Finally, the impact of changing scaling factor was studied by changing the three dimensions all at once based on a changeable scaling factor. 3.

In this paper, the Id–Vg characteristics of InAs-FinFET at the temperature of 300 K are simulated and evaluated. Four simulation experiments were designed to evaluate the performance of InAs-FinFET in terms of the considered metrics. In the first scenario, channel length was changed, whereas other dimensions (W and TOX) were kept constant. In the second scenario, the impact of changing channel width was investigated while both the length and thickness of the channel were kept constant. In the third scenario, oxide thickness was changed and length and width were fixed. Finally, the impact of changing scaling factor was studied by changing the three dimensions all at once based on a changeable scaling factor. This section investigates the effect of channel dimensions on the I–V characteristics of InAs-FinFET. A simulation tool (MuGFET) was used to investigate the effect of channel dimensions on its electrical characteristics. 3.1. Impact of varying channel length The scaling down of channel length L and its effect on the characteristics of InAs FinFET have been studied. The simulation of transfer characteristics (drain current Id –gate voltage Vg) have been down with different channel lengths (L) channel width (W) and oxide thicknesses (TOX). The limitation parameters were used to find the optimal channel dimensions were ION/IOFF ratio (where IOFF is an Id at OFF state at Vg = 0 V and ION is an Id at ON state at Vg = 1 V) and sub-threshold swing (SS) and the threshold voltage (VT) and drain-induced barrier lowering (DIBL). Figure 1(a) illustrates the relation between ION/IOFF ratio with the channel length of 10 15 25 35 and 45 nm and at W = 5 nm and TOX = 2.5 nm the ION /IOFF ratio increased to 106 for increasing L from 10 to 40 nm for VDD = 5 V. For VDD= 5 V increased value for ION/IOFF ratio were more than104 at L =40 nm. It is noticed that for L range from 10 to 30nm the highest ION/IOFF ratio happen for VDD= 5 V while for 30 to 45 nm, L range the highest ION/IOFF ratio happen for VDD= 5 V where the lowest leakage current IOFF.

Impact of varying channel length of InAs-FinFET: ION/IOFF ratio (a), SS value (b), VT and DIBL (c) Figure 1(b) presents the relation between channel length with (SS) of the IaAs-FinFET in this results the channel length was 10, 15, 25, 35 and 45 nm the W = 5 nm and TOX = 2.5 nm.

The furthest value from the ideal SS (59.5 mV/dec) where the higher channel length at L = 45nm, SS = 169.9 mV/dec where the transistor is slower. Figure 1(c) depicts the variation of both VT and DIBL with different channel length value of VT is proportional increases with channel length and reaches to 1.2 V at the longest channel. On the other hand, DIBL increases as channel length increased from 360 mV/V at L = 10 until it reached 517 mV/V at L = 45 nm leading to poor electrical conductivity due to the high DIBL value. According to the obtained characteristics in this scenario, the best performance in terms of both the ION/IOFF ratio and SS value can be achieved in the case with 25 nm channel length. However, in the case with L = 45 nm, although ION/IOFF ratio is the best, the SS value is too far from idle SS. 3.2. Impact of varying channel width The scaling down of channel width W and its effect on the characteristics of InAs-FinFET have been studied in this scenario. The value of W was changed (5, 10, 15 and 20 nm) while L and TOX were set to 40 nm and = 2.5 nm respectively. Figure 2 shows the electrical characteristics, ION/IOFF ratio, SS, VT, and DIBL correspondingly. The ION/IOFF ratio for both voltages (VDD = 5 V and VDD = 5 V) in terms of the varying width of the channel are illustrated in Figure 2(a). Unlike the channel length scenario, the ratio is inversely proportional with channel width. Ratios for both voltages drop down to approximately 103 when W increases to 20 nm. In contrast, the highest ION/IOFF ratio (more than 106 ) was achieved for VDD = 5 V with the smallest channel width. Figure 2(b) depicts the variation of SS value with variable channel width. The closest SS to ideal value was achieved at W = 5 nm which is 124 mV/dec, then it was increased to 156 mV/dec at W = 20 nm. Furthermore, the impacts of varying channel width on VT and DIBL are illustrated in Figure 2(c). The voltage threshold is almost constant regardless channel width except in the first case with W = 5 nm, where VT scores the highest value of 1.2 V. Finally, the DIBL decreased as channel width increased. InAs-FinFET achieved worst DIBL = 517 at W = 5 nm then DIBL characteristics improved and achieved the best value at W = 10 nm.

Impact of varying channel oxide thickness Figure 3 shows the channel oxide thickness variation in relation to the electrical characteristics of InAs-FinFET. For the simulation scenario carried out in Figure 4 channel oxide thickness, TOX has been varied (1.5, 2.5, 5 and 7 nm), the channel length, L is kept constant at 40 nm, while as the channel width, W is kept fixed at 5 nm. Figure 3(a) illustrates the relation between the ION/IOFF ratio with the channel oxide thickness which is consistent with previous channel width scenario. The maximum ION/IOFF ratio (more than 106 ) with VDD = 5 V was obtained at minimum TOX = 1.5 nm and then decreased to 103 at TOX = 7 nm. From the results shown in Figure 3(b), it is obvious that for a channel oxide thickness, TOX = 7 nm the InAs- FinFET has shown better SS characteristics with the best SS value of 140 mV/dec compared to other TOX values. Conversely, the farthest value from ideal SS occurred at TOX = 5 nm where SS is 216 mV/dec. On the other hands, in Figure 3(c) displays channel oxide thickness versus both VT and DIBL characteristics of InAs-FinFET. Both characteristics behave inconsistent manner with decreasing channel thickness, they decrease as TOX decreased. The best VT = 15.8 V at the highest TOX value, whereas the best value of DIBL is 165 mV/V at oxide thickness of channel = 1.5 nm. (a) (b) (c) Figure 3. Impact of varying InAs-FinFET channel thickness: ION/IOFF ratio (a), SS value (b), VT and DIBL (c) 3.4. Impact of varying scaling factor of channel dimensions The scaling down of all channel dimensions at once can be achieved by applying scaling factor, K. All channel dimensions, length, width, and thickness will be scaling-down together by a factor (K). In order to study the electrical characteristics based on the scaling factor, the reference value of K is defined as “1” with its channel dimensions. All corresponding dimensions to the defend scaling factors are shown in Table 2.

(Ahmed Mahmood) 2907 Figure 4(a) shows the relation between the ION/IOFF ratio with the scaling factor K from 0.125 to 1.00 The maximum value of ION /IOFF ratio is higher than 104 which was attained at scaling factor K = 0.125 for both VDD = 5 V and for VDD = 5 V. The worst ION/IOFF ratios, less than 102 occurred at the reference value of K = 1.00 for both VDD values. Figure 4(b) shows the worst SS value (194 mV/dec) that obtained at K = 1.00 in contrast, the nearest value to the ideal SS (94 mV/dec) is obtained at K = 0.125. It can be noticed that, with increasing K, the SS value is increased significantly. The impact of changing Scaling Factor (K) on VT and DIBL is illustrated in Figure 4(c). Where the highest value of VT = 1.28 V is obtained at K = 1.00 compared to the lowest value, VT = 0.7 V at K = 0.125 conversely, the DIBL value ranges from 376 mV/V at K = 0.125 to 934 mV/V at K = 1.00 and the best value is attained at K = 0.125 which is 195 mV/V. The summury of main finding for best L, W, TOX and K were illustrated in Table 3, according to this table, in the first scenario, the best L was at 25nm, the best W in the second scenario was at 5nm, and the best TOX in the third scenario was at range of 1.5 t0 2.5 nm, these dimentions represent the optimal channel dimensions for InAs-FinFET based on varying dimentions indevedually. In the last scenario, the propsed scalling factor achieved smaller limits with acceptable performance. (a) (b) (c) Figure 4.

CONCLUSION The effects of channel dimensions (length, width, and oxide thickness) on electric characteristics of InAs-FinFET were studied and analyzed using the MuGFET simulation tool. The highest ION/IOFF ratio and the nearest SS to the ideal value were exploited to design the best nono-dimensions of InAs-FinFET. According to the obtained results from individual consideration scenarios, the highest L (= 32 to 40 nm), the lowest W (= 5 nm), and the lowest TOX (= 1.5) nm, are the optimal channel dimensions for InAs-FinFET based on the considered parameters. Based on scaling factor (K), which shrinking all channel dimentions semoltenously, the optimal value was at K = 0.125, and it represents the lowest dimensions of the channel with the best performance in terms of the considered metrics.
