This study describes the use of the Student’s t-Test to qualify statistically the impact of using the Diamond (hexagonal) layout style in the electrical performance of Silicon-On-Insulator (SOI) MOSFETs. A sample of 360 SOI Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field Effect Transistors, n-type (nMOSFETs) were used to perform this experimental work. Regarding the SOI MOSFETs saturation drain current (I <sub xmlns:mml=“http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML” xmlns:xlink=“http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink”&gt;DSsat&lt;/sub> ), the results of this study indicate that the Diamond SOI nMOSFETs for all considered angles present higher I <sub xmlns:mml=“http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML” xmlns:xlink=“http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink”&gt;DSsat&lt;/sub> mean values in comparison to those measured from the standard rectangular SOI MOSFET counterparts, considering that they present the same gate areas, channel width and bias conditions (with a bias condition of 1V between the drain and source and a bias condition of 0.4V between the gate and source). For all the other α angle, that is, 36.9 °, 53.1 °, 90.0 °, 126.9 ° and 143.1 °, the DSnM I <sub xmlns:mml=“http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML” xmlns:xlink=“http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink”&gt;DSsat&lt;/sub> /(W/L) mean value is higher than the CSnM I <sub xmlns:mml=“http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML” xmlns:xlink=“http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink”&gt;DSsat&lt;/sub> /(W/L) mean value in an order of 51.3%, 37.6%, 40.9%, 19.0% and 10.6%, respectively. Therefore, this statistical approach can be used as a power statistical tool to validate electrical parameters and figures of merit of devices and integrated circuits regarding the nanoelectronics area.
