Characterization of Distribution of Trap States in Silicon-on-Insulator Layers by Front-Gate Characteristics in n-Channel SOI MOSFETs

We characterized the distribution of trap states in silicon-on-insulator (SOI) layers in epitaxial layer transfer (ELTRAN) wafers and in low-dose separation by implanted oxygen (SIMOX) wafers. We measured the front- and back-gate characteristics of MOSFETs with SOI layers of different thicknesses. We used the current-Terman method to estimate the trap states at the gate oxide (GOX)/SOI interface and at the SOI/buried oxide (BOX) interface separately. As a result, we concluded that the high-density trap states in the SOI layers in SIMOX wafers cause a gate-voltage shift, which is attributed to the charged trap states only in the inversion layer. We also found that the trap states are distributed within about 30 nm from the SOI/BOX interface in the SOI layer in SIMOX wafers, which indicates that the distribution of trap states originates from the oxygen implantation that is peculiar to the SIMOX process.     

Modeling the drain current and its equation parameters for lightly doped symmetrical double-gate MOSFETs

A 2D model for the potential distribution in silicon film is derived for a symmetrical double gate MOSFET in weak inversion. This 2D potential distribution model is used to analytically derive an expression for the subthreshold slope and threshold voltage. A drain current model for lightly doped symmetrical DG MOSFETs is then presented by considering weak and strong inversion regions including short channel effects, series source to drain resistance and channel length modulation parameters. These derived models are compared with the simulation results of the SILVACO (Atlas) tool for different channel lengths and silicon film thicknesses. Lastly, the effect of the fixed oxide charge on the drain current model has been studied through simulation. It is observed that the obtained analytical models of symmetrical double gate MOSFETs are in good agreement with the simulated results for a channel length to silicon film thickness ratio greater than or equal to 2.     

Back gate effects on threshold voltage sensitivity to SOI thicknessin fully-depleted SOI MOSFETs

The dependence of threshold voltage on silicon-on-insulator (SOI) thickness is studied on fully-depleted SOI MOSFETs, and, for this purpose, back-gate oxide thickness and back gate voltage are varied. When the back gate oxide is thinner than the critical thickness dependent on the back gate voltage, the threshold voltage has a minimum in cases where the SOI film thickness is decreased, because of capacitive coupling between the SOI layer and the back gate. This fact suggests that threshold voltage fluctuations due to SOI thickness variations are reduced by controlling the back gate voltage and thinning the back gate oxide     

Model for the potential drop in the silicon substrate for thin-film SOI MOSFETs

An analytical model is proposed for calculating the potential drop in the silicon substrate for thin-film SOI MOSFETs. The model is verified by numerical simulation, and indicates that the substrate potential causes a nonlinear shift of the threshold voltage for varying back gate voltages. Although this shift is shown to be rather limited for SOI fabrication parameters, it will increase if thinner buried oxides are used in the future.<>     

Computer Simulation of a Nanoscale Ballistic SOI MOSFET with a Sub-10-nm Si Layer

A physical model and a computer simulation program for nanoscale ballistic SOI MOSFETs are developed. The model includes transistor parameters such as the type and level of doping in the source and drain regions, gate length, Si and gate-oxide thicknesses, spacer length, gate-material work function, etc. Transistor performance is characterized in terms of transconductance, subthreshold slope, on- and off-state drain currents, gate–source overlap capacitance, etc. The software enables one to optimize the transistor parameters.     

Suppression of short channel effects by full inversion in deep sub-micron gate SOI MOSFETs

Classical modeling of fully inverted SOI MOSFET (FI MOSFET) has been performed. In FI MOSFETs, the top Si layer is thinner than the thickness of the inversion layer at the conducting state and so the depleted region in the top Si layer is completely eliminated. It was found that the gate electric field induces carriers in the channel more effectively in FI MOSFET than in the fully depleted SOI MOSFETs (FD MOSFET), so that the short channel effects can be suppressed significantly.     

Characterization of double gate MOSFETs fabricated by a simple method on a recrystallized silicon film

A simple process to fabricate double gate SOI MOSFET is proposed. The new device structure utilizes the bulk diffusion layer as the bottom gate. The active silicon film is formed by recrystallized amorphous silicon film using metal-induced-lateral-crystallization (MILC). While the active silicon film is not truly single crystal, the material and device characteristics show that the film is equivalent to single crystal SOI film with high defect density, like SOI wafers produced in early days. The fabricated double gate MOSFETs are characterized, which demonstrate excellent device characteristics with higher current drive and stronger immunity to short channel effects compared to the single gate devices.     

Analytical modeling of drain current and RF performance for double-gate fully depleted nanoscale SOI MOSFETs

A new 2D analytical drain current model is presented for symmetric double-gate fully depleted nanoscale SOI MOSFETs. Investigation of device parameters like transconductance for double-gate fully depleted nanoscale SOI MOSFETs is also carried out. Finally this work is concluded by modeling the cut-off frequency, which is one of the main figures of merit for analog/RF performance for double-gate fully depleted nanoscale SOI MOSFETs. The results of the modeling are compared with those obtained by a 2D ATLAS device simulator to verify the accuracy of the proposed model.
