SIMULATION / SA-DEV-001-FINFET-FINCOUNT-PPA-001

FinFET fin count versus PPA
FinFET PPA

Replay fin count, gate length, and Vt flavor to compare drive current, capacitance, leakage, delay index, and PPA score.

EXPLORE

Start with the observable.

Use this page when the simulation is the primary artifact. The linked lesson explains the concept; the linked lab keeps the visual replay surface available.

guided exploration
  • Add fins only after reading drive, capacitance, and leakage together.
  • Separate Vt flavor from geometry so speed and standby current do not blur.
  • Use PPA score as a bridge to ring oscillator and standard-cell consequences.

RUN CARD

Conditions before conclusions.

This page replays saved FinFET data and does not run TCAD, compact models, PDK decks, or foundry design rules.

METHODS

How the number was made.

Methods are written for citation discipline: the extraction rule matters as much as the plotted value.

method

Drive current scales with fin count, Vt flavor, and a normalized gate-length factor.

Keep this method attached when reusing the figure or metric.

method

Gate capacitance scales with fin count and gate length.

Keep this method attached when reusing the figure or metric.

method

PPA score divides drive by capacitance and leakage penalty.

Keep this method attached when reusing the figure or metric.

LIMITS

What this page does not claim.

The MVP is useful because the limits are visible. These statements prevent a teaching simulation from being cited as silicon evidence.

non-claim

No calibrated FinFET geometry, source/drain resistance, self-heating, variability, compact model, or measured silicon is included.

Carry this boundary into any derivative note, paper draft, or slide.

non-claim

No process-node, foundry, or design-rule recommendation is made.

Carry this boundary into any derivative note, paper draft, or slide.

non-claim

Real device work needs calibrated TCAD, compact models, layout rules, and measured electrical data.

Carry this boundary into any derivative note, paper draft, or slide.

EVIDENCE

Trace the claim back to artifacts.

The evidence route remains the catalog-level browser; this page is the simulation-level reading card.

evidence note

v64 deep results store every fin count, gate length, Vt flavor, drive, capacitance, leakage, and score row.
