Gate Current Modeling and Optimal Design of Nanoscale Non-Overlapped Gate to Source/Drain MOSFET

In this paper, novel nanoscale MOSFET with Source/Drain-to-Gate Non-overlapped and high-k spacer structure has been demonstrated to reduce the gate leakage current for the first time. The gate leakage behaviour of novel MOSFET structure has been investigated with help of compact analytical model and Sentaurus Simulation. Fringing gate electric field through the dielectric spacer induces inversion layer in the non-overlap region to act as extended S/D region. It is found that optimal Source/Drain-to-Gate Non-overlapped and high-k spacer structure has reduced the gate leakage current to great extent as compared to those of an overlapped structure. Further, the proposed structure had improved off current, subthreshold slope and DIBL characteristic. It is concluded that this structure solves the problem of high leakage current without introducing the extra series resistance.     

Modeling and simulation of enhancement mode p-GaN Gate AlGaN/GaN HEMT for RF circuit switch applications

An enhancement mode p-GaN gate AlGaN/GaN HEMT is proposed and a physics based virtual source charge model with Landauer approach for electron transport has been developed using Verilog-A and simulated using Cadence Spectre, in order to predict device characteristics such as threshold voltage, drain current and gate capacitance. The drain current model incorporates important physical effects such as velocity saturation, short channel effects like DIBL (drain induced barrier lowering), channel length modulation (CLM), and mobility degradation due to self-heating. The predicted I_d-V_ds, I_d-V_gs, and C-V characteristics show an excellent agreement with the experimental data for both drain current and capacitance which validate the model. The developed model was then utilized to design and simulate a single-pole single-throw (SPST) RF switch.

一种单材料双功函数栅MOSFET解析模型

An analytical surface potential model for the single material double work function gate(SMDWG) MOSFET is developed based on the exact resultant solution of the two-dimensional Poisson equation. The model includes the effects of drain biases, gate oxide thickness, different combinations of S-gate and D-gate length and values of substrate doping concentration. More attention has been paid to seeking to explain the attributes of the SMDWG MOSFET, such as suppressing drain-induced barrier lowering(DIBL), accelerating carrier drift velocity and device speed. The model is verified by comparison to the simulated results using the device simulator MEDICI. The accuracy of the results obtained using our analytical model is verified using numerical simulations. The model not only offers the physical insight into device physics but also provides the basic designing guideline for the device.     

Impact of underlap spacer region variation on electrostatic and analog performance of symmetrical high-k SOI FinFET at 20 nm channel length

Continued scaling of CMOS technology to achieve high performance and low power consumption of semiconductor devices in the complex integrated circuits faces the degradation in terms of electrostatic integrity,short channel effects (SCEs),leakage currents,device variability and reliability etc.Nowadays,multigate structure has become the promising candidate to overcome these problems.SOI FinFET is one of the best multigate structures that has gained importance in all electronic design automation (EDA) industries due to its improved short channel effects (SCEs),because of its more effective gate-controlling capabilities.In this paper,our aim is to explore the sensitivity of underlap spacer region variation on the performance of SOI FinFET at 20 nm channel length.Electric field modulation is analyzed with spacer length variation and electrostatic performance is evaluated in terms of performance parameter like electron mobility,electric field,electric potential,sub-threshold slope (SS),ON current (Ion),OFF current (Ioff) and Ion/Ioff ratio.The potential benefits of SOI FinFET at drain-to-source voltage,VDS =0.05 V and VDS =0.7 V towards analog and RF design is also evaluated in terms of intrinsic gain (Av),output conductance (gd),trans-conductance (gm),gate capacitance (Cgg),and cut-off frequency (fT =gm/2πCgg) with spacer region variations.     

Design of a novel double doping polysilicon gate MOSFET

In this paper, a novel design of the double doping polysilicon gate MOSFET device is proposed, which has a p+ buried layer near the drain, and relatively thicker D-gate oxide film (DDPGPD MOSFET). The detailed fabrication process for this device is designed using process simulation software called TSUPREM, and the device structure plan is further used in MEDICI simulation. The effect of gate doping concentration is investigated, and it is found that the device V_th is only influenced by the S-gate; furthermore, the device can get a larger driving current by increasing the doping concentration of D-gate. Compared to other conventional DDPG MOSFETs, the short-channel effects (SCEs) including the off-state current, the gate leakage current and the drain induced barrier lowering effect (DIBL) can be effectively suppressed by the p+ buried layer and thicker D-gate oxide film. Additionally, the other parameters of the device such as the driving current are not seriously affected by the proposed design modifications.

Influence of dummy active patterns on mechanical stress induced by spin-on-glass-filled shallow trench isolation in n-MOSFETs

This paper proposes an electrical method of extracting mechanical stress in n-MOSFETs and analyzes the influence of dummy active patterns on mechanical stress induced by spin-on-glass-filled shallow trench isolation (SOG-filled STI). The proposed method requires only the maximum transconductance g_m,max and measured subthreshold current I_d(sub.), eliminating the effect of deviations of the mobility μ and effective channel length L_eff that occurred in a previous method using μ. In addition, it eliminates the measurement error due to the drain induced barrier lowering (DIBL) effect in a previous method using I_d(sub.). The tensile stress σ_t in the experimental n-MOSFETs was measured as several hundred mega Pascals. An increase of separation distance d between dummy active regions and the Si active region resulted in a decrease of σ_t for d > 0.2 μm. But, σ_t decreased when d decreased from 0.2 to 0.09 μm.
