Heat loss and fin efficiency of symmetric and asymmetric trapezoidal fins with variable slope of fin's top surface are obtained by using a two-dimensional analytic method. Shapes of symmetric and asymmetric fins are changed from rectangular through trapezoidal to triangular by adjusting the fin shape factor. The ratio of symmetric trapezoidal fin length to asymmetric trapezoidal fin length is presented as a function of fin base height and convection characteristic number. The ratio of symmetric trapezoidal fin efficiency to asymmetric trapezoidal fin efficiency is presented as a function of the fin base height and fin shape factor. One of results shows that asymmetric trapezoidal fin length is shorter than symmetric trapezoidal fin length (i.e., asymmetric trapezoidal fin volume is smaller than symmetric trapezoidal fin volume) for the same heat loss when the fin base height and fin shape factor are the same.

A comparison of temperature distributions along the fin length coordinate between two different fin tip boundary conditions for a circular pin fin is made by using the one-dimensional analytic method. One tip boundary condition is the actual fin tip boundary condition and fin tip temperature is arbitrarily given for another fin tip boundary condition. The value of the fin base temperature is depend on the fin base thickness and fin radius. One of the results shows that the temperature distribution along the fin length coordinate for the actual fin tip boundary condition and that for the arbitrarily given fin tip temperature are the same if the arbitrarily given fin tip temperature and the fin tip temperature for the actual fin tip boundary condition are the same.

A cylindrical pin fin with inside fluid is optimized based on fixed fin volume by using the one dimensional analytic method. Heat loss from the fin and the pin fin radius for fixed fin volume is presented as a function of the fin length. Temperature variation of the fin with the variation of ambient and inside fluid convection characteristic numbers and fin base thickness is listed. The maximum heat loss at the practical fin length and corresponding optimum fin length and radius are presented as a function of fin base thickness, inside convection characteristic number, fin volume and ambient convection characteristic number. One of the results shows that the optimum pin fin shape becomes relatively fatter as the fin volume increases.

A circular pin fin (CPF) and a half circular pin fin (HCPF) are by using the one-dimensional analytic method. For these two fins, 90% of the maximum heat loss, Corresponding fin length for 90% of the maximum heat loss, fin effectiveness and fin efficiency are compared as functions of convection characteristic number and fin radius. Also, the ratio of heat loss from the HCPF to that from CPF listed with variation of fin length when the fin volumes are the same. One of the results shows that the efficiency of a CPF is larger than that of a HCPF while the effectiveness of a CPF is smaller than that of a HCPF when convection characteristic number, fin length and fin radius are the same.

In this paper, the performance variations of tri-gate FinFET are analyzed for different fin shapes and source/drain epitaxy types using a 3D device simulator(Sentaurus). If the fin shape changes from a rectangular shape to a triangular shape, the threshold voltage increases due to a non-uniform potential distribution, the off-current decreases by 72.23%, and the gate capacitance decreases by 16.01%. In order to analyze the device performance change from the structural change of the source/drain epitaxy, we compared the grown on the fin (grown-on-fin) structure and grown after the fin etch (etched-fin) structure. 3-stage ring oscillator was simulated using Sentaurus mixed-mode, and the energy-delay products are derived for the different fin and source/drain shapes. The FinFET device with triangular-shaped fin with etched-fin source/drain type shows the minimum the ring oscillator delay and energy-delay product.

The heat transfer and friction characteristics of heat exchangers having convex louver fins are experimentally investigated, and the results are compared with those of wave fin counterparts. Eighteen samples (nine convex louver fin samples and nine wave fin samples) which had different fm pitches (1.81 mm to 2.54 mm) and tube rows (one to four) were tested. The convex angle was $11.7^{\circ}$. The j factors are insensitive to fin pitch, while f factors increase as fin pitch increases. The effect of fin pitch on f factor is more significant for the wave fin compared with the convex louver fin. It appears that the complex fin pattern of the convex louver fin induces intense mixing of the flow, and thus reduces the effect of fin pitch. Both the j and f factors decrease as the number of tube row increases. However, as the Reynolds number increases, the effect of tube row diminishes. Comparison of the convex louver fin j factors with those of wave fin reveals that convex louver fin j factors are 18% to 29% higher than those of wave fin. The f factors are 16% to 34% higher for the convex louver fin. The difference increases as fin pitch decreases. Existing correlation fails to adequately predict the present data. More data is needed for a general correlation of the convex louver fin geometry.

기존의 MOSFET 구조의 소자는 비례 축소에 의한 단 채널효과, 누설전류, 신뢰성 문제 같은 어려움에 직면해 있다. 이로 인해 20 nm 이하 소자 크기에서 기존의 MOSFET을 대체할 여러가지 차세대 소자에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행 되고 있다. 그 중에서 FinFET 소자는 비례 축소에 용이하고 누설전류 문제에 대한 장점으로 인해 활발한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 기존의 FinFET 소자에 대한 연구는 FinFET 구조를 이용한 메모리 소자의 전기적 특성의 향상, fin의 크기에 따른 소자의 특성 변화와 FinFET 구조의 물질 변화에 따른 전기적 특성 변화에 대한 연구가 많이 이루어져 왔다. 실제 공정에서의 fin의 형태 변화에 따른 전기적 특성변화에 대한 연구가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 fin의 모서리의 모양의 변화에 따른 FinFET 소자의 전기적 특성 변화를 관찰하였고 전하 수송 메커니즘을 규명하였다. 실제 FinFET 소자의 공정에서 fin의 형태는 이상적인 직육면체 모양이 아니라 옆면이 기울고 모서리가 곡선이 되게 된다. 이로 인한 전자의 이동도 변화로 인해 소자의 성능이 변화하게 된다. FinFET의 경우 채널을 구성하는 fin의 각 면의 Si의 orientation이 다르다. 또한 fin의 모서리의 모양이 변화 함에 따라 채널영역의 orientation이 변화 하게 된다. 이에 따라 fin의 모서리 모양의 변화에 따른 소자의 전기적 특성 변화를 multi-orientation mobility model을 포함한 three-dimensional TCAD 시뮬레이션을 통해 계산하였다. 옆면과 윗면이 만나는 모서리의 모양의 곡률의 크기를 증가하여 다양한 fin의 형태에서 전기적 특성을 관찰하였다. Fin의 옆면과 윗면이 만나는 모서리의 곡률이 증가함에 따라 depletion 영역의 크기 변화와 채널에서의 전자의 밀도와 이동도의 변화를 관찰하였고 이를 토대로 fin의 형태 변화가 FinFET 소자의 전기적 특성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다.

Fin effectiveness and efficiency of a thermally asymmetric rectangular fin are represented as a function of non-dimensional fin length, width, fip tip surface Biot number and the ratio of fin bottom surface Biot number to top surface Biot number. For this analysis, three dimensional separation of variables method is used. One of the results shows that fin effectiveness can be increased or decreased depending on the fin length as the fin tip surface Biot number increases while fin efficiency decreases without depending on that as the fin tip surface Biot number increases.

Performance of a rectangular fin is investigated by a three dimensional analytical method. Heat loss and the temperature obtained from the three dimensional analysis are compared with those calculated from a two dimensional analysis. Fin effectiveness, fin resistance and fin efficiency for the rectangular fin are presented as a function of non-dimensional fin length and fin width. The results are obtained in the following : (1) heat loss calculated from the two dimensional analysis is the same as that obtained from the three dimensional analysis with adiabatic boundary condition in z-direction, (2) heat loss obtained from the two dimensional analysis approaches the value for the three dimensional analysis as the non-dimensional fin width becomes large, (3) fin effectiveness increases as non-dimensional fin length increases and non-dimensional fin width decreases, and vice versa for fin efficiency.

A reversed trapezoidal fin is analyzed using a two-dimensional analytical method. Heat loss from the reversed trapezoidal fin is presented as a function of the fin shape factor, fin base thickness and the fin base height. The relationship between the fin tip length and the convection characteristic number as well as that between the fin tip length and the fin base height for equal amounts of heat loss are analyzed. Also the relationship between the fin base thickness and the fin shape factor for equal amount of heat loss is presented. One of the results shows that the heat loss decreases linearly with the increase of the fin shape factor.
