In the world of Integrated Circuits, complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS) has lost its ability during scaling beyond 50 nm. Scaling causes severe short channel effects (SCEs) which are difficult to suppress. FinFET devices undertake to replace usual Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor (MOSFETs) because of their better ability in controlling leakage and diminishing SCEs while delivering a strong drive current. In this paper, we present a relative examination of FinFET with the double gate MOSFET (DGMOSFET) and conventional bulk Si single gate MOSFET (SGMOSFET) by using Cadence Virtuoso simulation tool. Physics-based numerical two-dimensional simulation results for FinFET device, circuit power is presented, and classifying that FinFET technology is an ideal applicant for low power applications. Exclusive FinFET device features resulting from gate–gate coupling are conversed and efficiently exploited for optimal low leakage device design. Design trade-off for FinFET power and performance are suggested for low power and high performance applications. Whole power consumptions of static and dynamic circuits and latches for FinFET device, believing state dependency, show that leakage currents for FinFET circuits are reduced by a factor of over ~ 10X, compared to DGMOSFET and ~ 20X compared with SGMOSFET.
