This paper presents the cryogenic characterization and compact modeling of thin-oxide MOSFETs in a standard 65-nm Si-bulk CMOS technology. The influence of both short and narrow channel effects at extremely low temperature on key device parameters such as threshold voltage and ON current is highlighted, and the performance of this technology node for cryogenic analog circuit design is discussed. It is then demonstrated, for the widest range of gate geometries in literature, that the BSIM4 parameter editing approach can be successfully used to model small dimension effects at cryogenic temperature. In the absence of cryogenic foundry models, the robustness and simplicity of this modeling technique make it a preferred method to quickly build a design-oriented, fully scalable SPICE compact model. This restores complete freedom in device sizing for cryogenic analog circuit design.

Capacitorless DRAM architectures based on Back-End-of-Line (BEOL)-transistors are promising for long-retention, high-density and low-power 3D DRAM solutions due to its low leakage, operational flexibility, and monolithic integration capability. Different from classical silicon-based devices, in-depth studies on the performances of nanoscale multi-gate transistors (e.g., a-InGaZnO-FET) are still barely conducted for physical description, due to the complicated multi-gating principle, finite-size effects on transport, increased variation sources and enlarged parasitic effect. Hence, high-performance multi-nanoscale (down to $sim ~50$
