SIMULATION / SA-DEV-GAAFET-COMPARISON-002

MOSFET, FinFET, GAAFET, and CFET architecture comparison replay
Device architecture comparison

A browser CSV replay for comparing electrostatic control, footprint, contacts, capacitance, variability, thermal coupling, integration risk, evidence maturity, and circuit handoff without turning an architecture roadmap into a universal ranking.

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
  • Filter architecture, scaling context, contact strategy, variability mode, circuit context, and review posture before reading any comparison score.
  • Compare electrostatic control and drive per footprint with capacitance, contact resistance, variability, thermal coupling, integration risk, evidence maturity, and circuit handoff.
  • Use the decision gate to find the next missing evidence rather than naming a universal architecture winner.
  • Keep the public boundary visible: this is not a calibrated TCAD/compact-model result, node ranking, vendor benchmark, product claim, cost/yield claim, or signoff packet.

BROWSER INTERACTIVE LAB

Filter the saved CSV. Inspect matching replay rows.

No server solver is running here. The browser filters a precomputed table and redraws the plot locally.

Each metric is normalized independently for shape inspection. Vertical positions do not compare magnitude across metrics.

RUN CARD

Conditions before conclusions.

The browser filters saved CSV rows. It does not run TCAD, SPICE, compact-model fitting, extraction, electrothermal or process simulation, uploaded design parsing, node ranking, qualification, or server-side models.

METHODS

How the number was made.

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

method

Generate a Cartesian synthetic sweep across four architectures, four scaling contexts, four contact strategies, four variability modes, four circuit contexts, and four review postures.

Keep this method attached when reusing the figure or metric.

method

Compute normalized educational proxies with architecture-specific interactions for fin quantization, GAA gate-stack sensitivity, CFET vertical alignment, and contact-context compatibility.

Keep this method attached when reusing the figure or metric.

method

Apply decision gates that prioritize context compatibility, source/evidence maturity, electrostatics, parasitics, variability, thermal coupling, integration, and device-to-circuit handoff before bounded comparison.

Keep this method attached when reusing the figure or metric.

method

Store CSV, typed JSON, model card, source links, and public boundary together without copied decks, models, layouts, process flows, measurements, tables, figures, or vendor benchmarks.

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 live TCAD, SPICE, compact-model fitting, parasitic extraction, electrothermal solving, process simulation, or architecture optimizer runs in the browser or on the server.

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

non-claim

No PDK, compact model, TCAD deck, process flow, layout, extraction technology file, standard-cell library, measured silicon, vendor benchmark, roadmap table, or source figure is copied.

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

non-claim

No architecture, foundry node, vendor, product, or process is ranked; no signoff, qualification, readiness, cost, yield, or production recommendation is made.

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

non-claim

Rows are original normalized teaching proxies. Engineering reuse requires owned calibrated device models, I-V/C-V, geometry and variability metrology, contact/local-RC extraction, thermal evidence, circuit correlation, and cross-domain owner review.

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

CSV replay with 4096 rows and explicit architecture, context, metric, decision-gate, evidence-state, next-check, and teaching-readout fields.
