Abstract
This paper presents 3D effects of MOSFET's due to the nonplanar nature of the field-oxide body. The investigations have been carried out by MINIMOS 5 our fully three-dimensional simulation program. Three-dimensional effects like threshold shift for small channel devices, channel narrowing and the enhanced conductivity at the channel edge have been successfully modeled.
