The threshold voltage, Vth of a double-gate (DG) Schottky-barrier (SB) source/drain (S/D) metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) has been investigated. An analytic expression for surface potential is obtained by using Gauss's law and solving Poisson's equation, the results of which are compared with simulations, and good agreement is observed. Based on the potential model, a new definition for Vth is developed, and an analytic expression for Vth is obtained, including quantum mechanical effects and SB lowering effect. We find that Vth is very sensitive to the silicon body thickness, tsi. For a device with a small tsi (<3 nm), Vth increases dramatically with the reduction of tsi. Vth decreases with the increase of the back-gate oxide thickness, and with the increasing of the drain bias. All the results can be of great help to the ultra-large scale integrated-circuit (ULSI) designers. 相似文献

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. 相似文献

A model of subthreshold characteristics for both undoped and doped double-gate (DG) MOSFETs has been proposed. The models were developed based on solution of 2-D Poisson's equation using variable separation technique. Without any fitting parameters, our proposed models can exactly reflect the degraded subthreshold characteristics due to nanoscale channel length. Also, design parameters such as body thickness, gate oxide thickness and body doping concentrations can be directly reflected from our models. The models have been verified by comparing with device simulations' results and found very good agreement. 相似文献

The present paper proposes for the first time, a novel design methodology based on the optimization of source/drain extension (SDE) regions to significantly improve the trade-off between intrinsic voltage gain (AVO) and cut-off frequency (fT) in nanoscale double gate (DG) devices. Our results show that an optimally designed 25 nm gate length SDE region engineered DG MOSFET operating at drain current of 10 μA/μm, exhibits up to 65% improvement in intrinsic voltage gain and 85% in cut-off frequency over devices designed with abrupt SDE regions. The influence of spacer width, lateral source/drain doping gradient and symmetric as well as asymmetrically designed SDE regions on key analog figures of merit (FOM) such as transconductance (gm), transconductance-to-current ratio (gm/Ids), Early voltage (VEA), output conductance (gds) and gate capacitances are examined in detail. The present work provides new opportunities for realizing future low-voltage/low-power analog circuits with nanoscale SDE engineered DG MOSFETs. 相似文献

A novel cylindrical surrounding gate MOSFETs with electrically induced source/drain extension is proposed and demonstrated by numerical simulation for the first time. In the new device, a constant voltage is applied to the side-gate to form inversion layers acting as the extremely shallow virtual source/drain. Using three-dimensional device simulator, we have investigated the device performance focusing on the threshold voltage roll-off, the drain induced barrier lowering, the subthreshold swing, electrical field and carrier temperature. Based on our simulation results, we demonstrate that the proposed structure exhibits better suppression of short channel effects and hot carrier effects when compared to the conventional cylindrical surrounding gate MOSFETs. 相似文献

In this paper, we present the unique features exhibited by a novel double gate MOSFET in which the front gate consists of two side gates as an extension of the source/drain. The asymmetrical side gates are used to induce extremely shallow source/drain regions on either side of the main gate. Using two-dimensional and two-carrier device simulation, we have investigated the improvement in device performance focusing on the threshold voltage roll-off, the drain induced barrier lowering, the subthreshold swing and the hot carrier effect. Based on our simulation results, we demonstrate that the proposed symmetrical double gate SOI MOSFET with asymmetrical side gates for the induced source/drain is far superior in terms of controlling the short-channel effects when compared to the conventional symmetrical double gate SOI MOSFET. We show that when the side gate length is equal to the main gate length, the device can be operated in an optimal condition in terms of threshold voltage roll-off and hot carrier effect. We further show that in the proposed structure the threshold voltage of the device is nearly independent of the side gate bias variation. 相似文献

An analytical drain current model for undoped (or lightly-doped) symmetric double-gate (DG) MOSFETs is presented. This model is based on the subthreshold leakage current in weak inversion due to diffusion of carriers from source to drain and an analytical expression for the drain current in strong inversion of long-channel DG MOSFETs, both including the short-channel effects. In the saturation region, the series resistance, the channel length modulation, the surface-roughness scattering and the saturation velocity effects were also considered. The proposed model has been validated by comparing the transfer and output characteristics with simulation and experimental results. 相似文献

An analytical CAD-oriented model for short channel threshold voltage of retrograde doped MOSFETs is developed. The model is extended to evaluate the drain induced barrier lowering parameter (R) and gradient of threshold voltage. The dependence of short channel threshold voltage and R on thickness of lightly doped layer (d) has also been analyzed in detail. It is shown that a retrograde doping profile reduces short channel effects to a considerable extent. A technique is developed to optimize the device parameters for minimizing short channel effects. The results so obtained are in close proximity with published data. 相似文献

In this paper, the DC characteristics of MOSFETs are investigated by means of an analytical approach with considerations of the source/drain parasitic resistance (R S/R D). Experimental data of MOS devices for DRAM design and results of TCAD simulation are used to verify the accuracy of theoretical calculation. It is found that both the R S and R D can induce a large reduction in the drain current in the linear region, but only the source resistance can cause a large reduction in the drain current in the saturation region. Moreover, the drain current deduction due to the R S/R D increases with decreasing channel length and oxide thickness. 相似文献

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. 相似文献

We present a temperature dependent model for the threshold voltage Vt and subthreshold slope S of strained-Si channel MOSFETs and validate it with reported experimental data for a wide range of temperature, channel doping concentration, oxide thickness and strain value. Such model includes the effect of lattice strain on material, temperature dependent effective mass of carriers, interface-trapped charge density and bandgap narrowing due to heavy channel doping. Also considered are polydepletion effects, carrier localization effect in the ultra-thin channel and quantum-mechanical effects. Our investigation reveals that the threshold voltage reduces linearly with increasing temperature whereas the subthreshold slope increases. In addition Vt is found to be sensitive to strain while S is weakly dependent on strain. Moreover, the channel doping concentration influences both Vt and S, and also the rate of change of Vt with temperature. Furthermore, S decreases for a lightly doped channel particularly at lower temperatures. 相似文献

In this paper we present a new approach to calculate the channel electric field within a Schottky barrier Double-Gate MOSFET (SB-DG-MOSFET) in subthreshold region by solving Poissons equation. The Poisson equation is solved two dimensionally in an analytical closed-form with the conformal mapping technique. A comparison with data simulated by TCAD Sentaurus simulator for channel lengths down to 22 nm was made and shows an accurate agreement. Futhermore, a new way for the estimation of the tunneling current in SB-DG-MOSFET by applying the above 2D solution for the electric field and a 2D solution of the electrostatic potential is presented. Calculating the tunneling current, we use Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin (WKB) approximation for the estimation of the tunneling probability. For the calculation of the tunneling and thermionic current a comparison with TCAD Sentaurus for channel lengths down to 65 nm was made. 相似文献

A physically based analytical model for surface potential and threshold voltage including the fringing gate capacitances in cylindrical surround gate(CSG) MOSFETs has been developed.Based on this a subthreshold drain current model has also been derived.This model first computes the charge induced in the drain/source region due to the fringing capacitances and considers an effective charge distribution in the cylindrically extended source/drain region for the development of a simple and compact model.The fringing gate capacitances taken into account are outer fringe capacitance,inner fringe capacitance,overlap capacitance,and sidewall capacitance.The model has been verified with the data extracted from 3D TCAD simulations of CSG MOSFETs and was found to be working satisfactorily. 相似文献

The spacer technique is proposed for the fabrication of the Asymmetric Schottky Barrier MOSFETs (ASB-MOSFET). The characteristics of the 45 nm and the 20 nm n-channel ASB-MOSFETs, which adopt a Schottky barrier height of 0.9 eV at source and that of 0.2 eV at drain, have been simulated and discussed by the comparisons with the conventional Schottky Barrier MOSFETs (SB-MOSFET). With a higher Ion/Ioff ratio, the ASB-MOSFET structure has shown a better performance than the conventional SB-MOSFETs. 相似文献

In order to outperform current uniaxial compressively strained Silicon channel pMOSFET technology (with embedded SiGe source/drain), switching to strained Ge channel is mandatory. GeSn materials, having larger lattice parameter than Ge, are proposed in this article as embedded source/drain stressors for Ge channels. Our simulation results indicate that a minimum of 5% Sn is required in the GeSn source/drain to build a competitive strained Ge pMOSFETs with respect to strained Si channels. Therefore the compatibility of GeSn (with 2-8% Sn) materials with source/drain engineering processes (B implantation and activation and NiGeSn formation) has been studied. A low thermal budget has been determined for those processes on GeSn alloys: temperatures must be lower than 600 °C for B activation and lower than 450 °C for NiGeSn formation. 相似文献

The behavior of source and drain resistances (RS and RD) has been studied for a wide range of drain currents at ambient temperatures from 150 to 500 K. Both parasitic resistances show an important increase as temperature rises, directly related to the reduction in the electron mobility. High drain currents also produce a non-linear increment of RS and RD, once the space-charge limited current is exceeded. Both temperature and drain current mechanisms have been modeled together by means of a simple equation, and a good agreement between simulations and measurements is found. Non-linear RS and RD allow a more accurate extraction of the intrinsic parameters, especially in the high drain current range. The use of variable parasitic resistances instead of their usually assumed constant values reveals higher intrinsic transconductance (gm,int) and Cgs. 相似文献

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the impact of the geometry of embedded Si1−xGex source/drain junctions on the stress field. Stress simulations were performed using TSUPREM4 2D software to further investigate the elastic strain relaxation as a function of Si1−xGex alloy active size, in the regime where no plastic relaxation is present. Moreover, the role of the epilayer thickness and the Ge content on the stress levels is also discussed. The work is complemented with experimental Raman spectroscopy. 相似文献
