In this study, different S/D contacting options for lateral NWFET devices are benchmarked at
7nm node dimensions and beyond. Comparison is done at both DC and ring oscillator
levels. It is demonstrated that implementing a direct contact to a fin made of Si/SiGe super-
lattice results in 13% performance improvement. Also, we conclude that the integration of
internal spacers between the NWs is a must for lateral NWFETs in order to reduce device
parasitic capacitance.
