Elevated field insulator (ELFIN) process for device isolation of ultrathin SOI MOSFETs with top silicon film less than 20 nm

New device isolation process, called elevated field insulator (ELFIN) process, for ultrathin SOI devices with top silicon film less than 20 nm has been proposed and successfully demonstrated. In ELFIN process, gate oxidation and subsequent gate poly-Si deposition is followed by conventional STI process. ELFIN process has a field region elevated compared with active silicon region, leading to prevention of silicon edge from being wrapped around by gate poly-Si. It is found that thin-film SOI NMOSFETs with ELFIN process have better reverse narrow channel effect about 50% at W/sub G/=0.3 /spl mu/m than that with conventional shallow trench isolation (STI) process.     

Multiple-gate SOI MOSFETs: device design guidelines

This paper describes computer simulations of various SOI MOSFETs with double and triple-gate structures, as well as gate-all-around devices. The concept of a triple-gate device with sidewalls extending into the buried oxide (hereby called a "/spl Pi/-gate" or "Pi-gate" MOSFET) is introduced. The Pi-gate device is simple to manufacture and offers electrical characteristics similar to the much harder to fabricate gate-all-around MOSFET. To explore the optimum design space for four different gate structures, simulations were performed with four variable device parameters: gate length, channel width, doping concentration, and silicon film thickness. The efficiency of the different gate structures is shown to be dependent of these parameters. The simulation results indicate that the the Pi-gate device is a very promising candidate for future nanometer MOSFET applications.     

The spacer/replacer concept: a viable route for sub-100 nmultrathin-film fully-depleted SOI CMOS

In this work, we introduce the Spacer/Replacer concept, a new concept to improve the device performance of ultrathin-film fully-depleted (FD) SOI CMOS transistors. High-performance FD SOI CMOS transistors are demonstrated with a silicon film thickness of 30 nm and physical gate-lengths down to 0.1 μm. The approach uses selective epitaxial growth of silicon to form raised source/drains while avoiding the simultaneous formation of a T-shaped poly-Si gate. In addition, the introduced concept eases the integration issues related to the ultrathin silicon film

Electron mobility behavior in extremely thin SOI MOSFET's

Extremely thin-film SOI MOSFET's with silicon film thickness down to 8 nm have been fabricated without inducing serious source/drain series resistance by employing a gate recessed structure. The influence of extremely thin silicon film on the electron mobility has been experimentally studied. The results show an abrupt mobility decrease in the device with less than 10 nm silicon film thickness. The measured mobility versus effective field below 10 nm silicon film thickness shows that a different scattering mechanism is involved in carrier conduction in 10 nm t_si region. The reasons for the mobility decrease have been examined from a device simulation and measurements

High performance fully-depleted tri-gate CMOS transistors

Fully-depleted (FD) tri-gate CMOS transistors with 60 nm physical gate lengths on SOI substrates have been fabricated. These devices consist of a top and two side gates on an insulating layer. The transistors show near-ideal subthreshold gradient and excellent DIBL behavior, and have drive current characteristics greater than any non-planar devices reported so far, for correctly-targeted threshold voltages. The tri-gate devices also demonstrate full depletion at silicon body dimensions approximately 1.5 - 2 times greater than either single gate SOI or non-planar double-gate SOI for similar gate lengths, indicating that these devices are easier to fabricate using the conventional fabrication tools. Comparing tri-gate transistors to conventional bulk CMOS device at the same technology node, these non-planar devices are found to be competitive with similarly-sized bulk CMOS transistors. Furthermore, three-dimensional (3-D) simulations of tri-gate transistors with transistor gate lengths down to 30 nm show that the 30 nm tri-gate device remains fully depleted, with near-ideal subthreshold swing and excellent short channel characteristics, suggesting that the tri-gate transistor could pose a viable alternative to bulk transistors in the near future.     

Vertically integrated SOI circuits for low-power and high-performance applications

Vertical integration offers numerous advantages over conventional structures. By stacking multiple-material layers to form double gate transistors and by stacking multiple device layers to form multidevice-layer integration, vertical integration can emerge as the technology of choice for low-power and high-performance integration. In this paper, we demonstrate that the vertical integration can achieve better circuit performance and power dissipation due to improved device characteristics and reduced interconnect complexity and delay. The structures of vertically integrated double gate (DG) silicon-on-insulator (SOI) devices and circuits, and corresponding multidevice-layer (3-D) SOI circuits are presented; a general double-gate SOI model is provided for the study of symmetric and asymmetric SOI CMOS circuits; circuit speed, power dissipation of double-gate dynamic threshold (DGDT) SOI circuits are investigated and compared to single gate (SG) SOI circuits; potential 3-D SOI circuits are laid out. Chip area, layout complexity, process cost, and impact on circuit performance are studied. Results show that DGDT SOI CMOS circuits provide the best power-delay product, which makes them very attractive for low-voltage low-power applications. Multidevice-layer integration achieves performance improvement by shortening the interconnects. Results indicate that up to 40% of interconnect performance improvements can be expected for a 4-device-layer integration.     

具有L型栅极场板的双槽双栅绝缘体上硅器件新结构

为了降低绝缘体上硅（SOI）功率器件的比导通电阻,同时提高击穿电压,利用场板（FP）技术,提出了一种具有L型栅极场板的双槽双栅SOI器件新结构.在双槽结构的基础上,在氧化槽中形成第二栅极,并延伸形成L型栅极场板.漂移区引入的氧化槽折叠了漂移区长度,提高了击穿电压;对称的双栅结构形成双导电沟道,加宽了电流纵向传输面积,使比导通电阻显著降低;L型场板对漂移区电场进行重塑,使漂移区浓度大幅度增加,比导通电阻进一步降低.仿真结果表明：在保证最高优值条件下,相比传统SOI结构,器件尺寸相同时,新结构的击穿电压提高了123%,比导通电阻降低了32%;击穿电压相同时,新结构的比导通电阻降低了87.5%;相比双槽SOI结构,器件尺寸相同时,新结构不仅保持了双槽结构的高压特性,而且比导通电阻降低了46%.     

Fabrication of gate-all-around transistors using metal inducedlateral crystallization

Gate-all-around transistor (GAT) is demonstrated. The device can be fabricated on either a bulk silicon wafer or on the top of any device layers. The fabrication process used a new technique called metal-induced-lateral-crystallization (MILC) to recrystallize amorphous silicon to form large silicon grains in the active area. Using this technique, the transistor performance is comparable to a SOI MOSFET. Compared with the single-gate thin film transistor (SGT) and solid phase crystallization (SPC) devices, the MILC GAT has lower subthreshold slope, lower threshold voltage, higher transconductance and nearly double drive current, The impact of short channel length was investigated

Advanced technologies for optimized sub-quarter-micrometer SOI CMOSdevices

Two manufacturable technologies of fully-depleted (FD) thin-film silicon-on-insulator (SOI) MOSFET's for low-power applications are proposed in this paper. To maintain high current drive while aggressively thinning down the SOI film, silicide is to be formed on Ge-damaged silicon layers. Ge preamorphization facilitates silicide formation at low temperature (~450°C) and effectively controls the silicide depth without void formation. It also reduces the floating body effect. In addition, a reliable gate work-function engineering is introduced for good threshold voltage management. A p⁺SiGe/Si stack gate alleviates the threshold voltage instability of SOI due to film thickness nonuniformity and broadens the design window for channel doping. These advanced technologies, compatible with existing bulk CMOS technology, are integrated into SOI CMOS process. Excellent electrical device results are presented     

A low thermal budget self-aligned Ti silicide technology usinggermanium implantation for thin-film SOI MOSFET's

In this paper, a titanium salicide technology with a very low thermal annealing temperature using germanium implantation for thin film SOI MOSFET's is investigated in detail. Ti silicide formation on the amorphous silicon generated by germanium implantation is studied. Compared to the conventional Ti salicide process, the Ti silicidation temperature is significantly lowered and the silicide depth is well controlled through the pre-amorphized layer. Therefore, the potential problems of the salicide process for SOI MOSFET's such as lateral voids, dopant segregation, thermal agglomeration, and increase of resistance on narrow gate are suppressed by germanium implantation. With the Ge pre-amorphization salicide process, a very low silicide contact resistance is obtained and sub-0.25-μm SOI MOSFET's are fabricated with good device characteristics

Fully-depleted SOI devices with TaSiN gate, HfO/sub 2/ gate dielectric, and elevated source/drain extensions

We report for the first time the performance of ultrathin film fully-depleted (FD) silicon-on-insulator (SOI) CMOS transistors using HfO/sub 2/ gate dielectric and TaSiN gate material. The transistors feature 100-150 /spl Aring/ silicon film thickness and selective epitaxial silicon growth in the source/drain extension regions. TaSiN-gate shows good threshold voltage control using an undoped channel, which reduces threshold voltage variation with silicon film thickness and discrete, random dopant placement. Device processing for CMOS fabrication is drastically simplified by the use of the same gate material for both n- and p-MOSFETs. Electrical characterization results illustrate the combined impact of using high-k dielectric and metal gate on the performance of ultrathin film FD SOI devices.     

Reduction of leakage current at the gate edge of SDB SOI NMOStransistor

Leakage current through the parasitic channel formed at the sidewall of the SOI active region has been investigated by measuring the subthreshold I-V characteristics. Partially depleted (PD, ~2500 Å) and fully depleted (FD, ~800 Å) SOI NMOS transistors of enhancement mode have been fabricated using the silicon direct bonding (SDB) technology. Isolation processes for the SOI devices were LOCOS, LOCOS with channel stop ion implantation or fully recessed trench (FRT). The electron concentration of the parasitic channel is calculated by the PISCES IIb simulation. As a result, leakage current of the FD mode SOI device with FRT isolation at the front and back gate biases of 0 V was reduced to ~pA and no hump was seen on the drain current curve

Unclamped inductive switching behaviour of high power SOI vertical DMOS transistors with lateral drain contacts

The switching dynamics of silicon-on-insulator (SOI) high power vertical double diffused MOS (VDMOS) transistors with an inductive load has been investigated by device simulation. Unlike other conventional VDMOS devices, this device has drain contacts at the top surface. In general the switching behaviour of a power device during the unclamped inductive switching (UIS) test will determine the reliability of the power device as the energy stored in the inductor during the on state is dumped directly into the device when it is turned off. In this paper we compare the switching dynamics of the SOI VDMOS transistor with standard bulk silicon VDMOS device by doing numerical simulations. It is shown here, using 2D-device simulations that the power dissipated in the SOI VDMOS device during the UIS test is smaller by approximately a factor of 2 than in the standard bulk silicon VDMOSFET. The lower dissipation is due to the presence of the silicon film/buried oxide/substrate structure (this structure forms a SOI capacitor). In the case of the SOI VDMOS transistor the energy released from the inductor during the UIS test is stored to some extent in the SOI capacitor and partly dumped directly into the device. As a result the maximum current through the SOI device is separated in time from the maximum voltage across the device, unlike in the bulk case, thereby reducing the maximum power.
