In this paper, self-heating effects (SHE) in nanoscale Ge p-channel FinFETs with Si substrate are evaluated by TCAD simulation. Hydrodynamic transport with modified mobilities and Fourier´s law of heat conduction with modified thermal conductivities are used in the simulation. Ge p-channel single-fin FinFET devices with different S/D extension lengths and fin heights, and multi-fin FinFETs with different fin numbers and fin pitches are successively investigated. Boundary thermal resistances at source, drain and gate contacts are set to 2000 μm2K/W and the substrate thermal boundary condition is set to 300 K so that the source and drain heat dissipation paths are the first two heat dissipation paths. The results are listed below: (i) 14 nm Ge p-channel single-fin FinFETs with a 47 nm fin pitch experience 9.7% on-state current degradation. (ii) Considering the same input power, FinFETs with a longer S/D extension length show a higher lattice temperature and a larger on-state current degradation. (iii) Considering the same input power, FinFETs with a taller fin height show a higher lattice temperature. (iv) The temperature in multi-fin FinFET devices will first increase then saturate with the increasing fin number. At last, thermal resistances in Ge p-channel single-fin FinFETs and multi-fin FinFETs are investigated.
