Abstract
The bulk CMOS technology is expected to scale down to about 32nm node and likely the successor would be the FinFET. The FinFET is an ultra-thin body multi-gate MOS transistor with among other characteristics a much higher voltage gain compared to a conventional bulk MOS transistor [1]. Bandgap reference circuits cannot be directly ported from bulk CMOS technologies to SOI FinFET technologies, because both conventional diodes cannot be realized in thin SOI layers and also, area-efficient resistors are not readily available in processes with only metal(lic) gates. In this paper, a sub-1V bandgap reference circuit is implemented in a 32nm SOI FinFET technology, with an architecture that significantly reduces the required total resistance value.
