We present a physically based, accurate model of the direct tunneling gate current of nanoscale metal‐oxide‐semiconductor field‐effect transistors considering quantum mechanical effects. Effect of wave function penetration into the gate dielectric is also incorporated. When electrons tunnel from the metal oxide semiconductor inversion layer to the gate, the eigenenergies of the quasi‐bound states turn out to be complex quantities. The imaginary part of these complex eigenenergies, Γij, are required to estimate the finite lifetimes of these states. We present an empirical equation of Γij as a function of surface potential. Inversion layer electron concentration is determined using eigenenergies, calculated by modified Airy function approximation. Hence, a compact model of direct tunneling gate current is proposed using a novel approach. Good agreement of the proposed compact model with self‐consistent numerical simulator and published experimental data for a wide range of substrate doping densities and oxide thicknesses states the accuracy and robustness of the proposed model. The proposed model can well be extended for devices with high‐κ/stack gate dielectrics introducing necessary modifications. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

A mathematical model for the calculation of the output characteristics of amorphous silicon hydrogenated (a‐Si:H) ion‐sensitive field‐effect transistors (ISFET) is developed, which depends on the integration of the conductivity channel versus gate voltage curve at fixed drain voltage. Single curve integration was changed to integration with many simple lines to obtain the ID − VD characteristics using computer programming. The results of this model were tested with those of experiments. © 2011 Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan. Published by John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 相似文献

In this paper, a full‐band Monte Carlo simulator is employed to study the dynamic characteristics and high‐frequency noise performances of a double‐gate (DG) metal–oxide–semiconductor field‐effect transistor (MOSFET) with 30 nm gate length. Admittance parameters (Y parameters) are calculated to characterize the dynamic response of the device. The noise behaviors of the simulated structure are studied on the basis of the spectral densities of the instantaneous current fluctuations at the drain and gate terminals, together with their cross‐correlation. Then the normalized noise parameters (P, R, and C), minimum noise figure (NFmin), and so on are employed to evaluate the noise performances. To show the outstanding radio‐frequency performances of the DG MOSFET, a single‐gate silicon‐on‐insulator MOSFET with the same gate length is also studied for comparison. The results show that the DG structure provides better dynamic characteristics and superior high‐frequency noise performances, owing to its inherent short‐channel effect immunity, better gate control ability, and lower channel noise.

This paper presents a sub‐1 V CMOS bandgap voltage reference that accounts for the presence of direct tunneling‐induced gate current. This current increases exponentially with decreasing oxide thickness and is especially prevalent in traditional (non‐high‐κ/metal gate) ultra‐thin oxide CMOS technologies (tox < 3 nm), where it invalidates the simplifying design assumption of infinite gate resistance. The developed reference (average temperature coefficient, TC_AVG, of 22.5 ppm/°C) overcomes direct tunneling by employing circuit techniques that minimize, balance, and cancel its effects. It is compared to a thick‐oxide voltage reference (TC_AVG = 14.0 ppm/°C) as a means of demonstrating that ultra‐thin oxide MOSFETs can achieve performance similar to that of more expensive thick(er) oxide MOSFETs and that they can be used to design the analog component of a mixed‐signal system. The reference was investigated in a 65 nm CMOS technology with a nominal VDD of 1 V and a physical oxide thickness of 1.25 nm. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

Modeling and simulation of the silicon neuron-to-ISFET junction is presented. The neuronal electrical activity, extracellularly
recorded by the ISFET, was simulated as a function of the neuro-electronic junction parameters such as the seal resistance,
double-layer capacitance, and general adhesion conditions. This goal was achieved with a configuration consisting of “silicon
neurons” i.e., assemblies of CMOS circuits that mimic the generation of the equivalents of the ionic currents and of the action
potentials of real (biological) neurons; “silicon synapses” whose performances simulate those of their biological counterpart;
depletion-mode MOSFET-based ISFETs that simulate the signal recording devices; passive component-based circuits that model
the neuro-electronic junction. The models of the neuron, synapse, coupling interface, and ISFET were implemented in HSPICE
and used to simulate the behavior of the junction between stimulated neurons (described by the compartmental model) and ISFETs. 相似文献

High‐κ gate‐all‐around structure counters the Short Channel Effect (SCEs) mostly providing excellent off‐state performance, whereas high mobility III–V channel ensures better on‐state performance, rendering III–V nanowire GAAFET a potential candidate for replacing the current FinFETs in microchips. In this paper, a 2D simulator for the III–V GAAFET based on self‐consistent solution of Schrodinger–Poisson equation is proposed. Using this simulator, capacitance–voltage profile and threshold voltage are characterized, which reveal that gate dielectric constant (κ) and oxide thickness do not affect threshold voltage significantly at lower channel doping. Moreover, change in alloy composition of InxGa1‐xAs, channel doping, and cross‐sectional area has trivial effects on the inversion capacitance although threshold voltage can be shifted by the former two. Although, channel material also affects the threshold voltage, most sharp change in threshold voltage is observed with change in fin width of the channel (0.005 V/nm for above 10 nm fin width and 0.064 V/nm for sub‐10 nm fin width). Simulation suggests that for lower channel doping below 1023 m−3, fin width variation affects the threshold voltage most. Whereas when the doping is higher than 1023 m−3, both the thickness and dielectric constant of the oxide material have strong effects on threshold voltage (0.05 V/nm oxide thickness and 0.01 V/per unit change in κ).

In this paper, nanoscale metal–oxide–semiconductor field‐effect transistor (MOSFET) device circuit co‐design is presented with an aim to reduce the gate leakage curren t in VLSI logic circuits. Firstly, gate leakage current is modeled through high‐k spacer underlap MOSFET (HSU MOSFET). In this HSU MOSFET, inversion layer is induced in underlap region by the gate fringing field through high‐k dielectric (high‐k) spacer, and this inversion layer in the underlap region acts as extended source/drain region. The analytical model results are compared with the two‐dimensional Sentaurus device simulation. Good agreement is obtained between the model and Sentaurus simulation. It is observed that modified HSU MOSFET had improved off current, subthreshold slope, and drain‐induced barrier lowering characteristics. Further, modified HSU MOSFET is also analyzed for gate leakage in generic logic circuits. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

This paper presents a simple, quasi‐static, non‐linear (saturated mode) NMOS drain‐current model for Volterra‐series analysis. The model is based on a linear transconductance, a linear drain‐source conductance and a purely non‐linear drain‐source current generator. The drain‐current dependency on both drain‐source and gate‐source voltages is included. Model parameters are then extracted from direct numerical differentiation of DC I/V measurements performed on a 160 × 0.25 µm NMOS device. This paper presents the Volterra analysis of this model, including algebraic expressions for intercept points and output spectrum. The model has been verified by comparing measured two‐tone iIP2 and iIP3 with the corresponding model predictions over a wide range of bias points. The correspondence between the modelled and measured response is good. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

Numerical methods used to solve 1D Schrödinger's equation in quantum structures, such as Numerov's integration of wavefunction or the shooting method iterative solution of energy levels, require knowledge of two‐point boundary conditions at interfaces. This is especially true when the interfaces are not symmetrical or where exponential decay of wavefunction at asymptotically large distances does not hold. A closed‐form expression for boundary conditions, which is not sensitive to intermediate solutions at interfaces, can minimize possible divergence during iterations and relax simulation grid size and simulation time. In this work, the Wentzel‐Kramers‐Brillouin (WKB) approximation within potential barriers is proposed to analytically calculate the boundary conditions for abrupt interfaces, such as dielectric–semiconductor interface. An analytical expression for the slope at the interface is derived, and the errors are estimated with respect to numerical methods. An application is shown for self‐consistent solution of coupled Poisson–Schrödinger's equations at multi‐layer HfO2‐SiO2 dielectric gate stack corresponding to International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors‐projected 10 nm bulk single‐gate Complementary Metal‐Oxide‐Semiconductor (CMOS) technology node, where wavefunction penetration into the dielectric is of critical importance. Application to dual gate structures with 5 nm fin width and high‐k dielectric with 0.5 nm equivalent oxide thickness is also shown. A quantum mechanical simulator ‘hksim’ based on this principle is posted for public domain usage. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

On the basis of the exact solution of Poisson's equation and Pao–Sah double integral for long‐channel bulk MOSFETs, a continuous and analytic drain current model for the undoped gate stack (GS) surrounding‐gate (SRG) metal–oxide–semiconductor field‐effect transistor (MOSFET) including positive or negative interface fixed charges near the drain junction is presented. Considering the effect of the interface fixed charges on the flat‐band voltage and the electron mobility, the model, which is expressed with the surface and body center potentials evaluated at the source and drain ends, describes the drain current from linear region to saturation region through a single continuous expression. It is found that the surface and body center potentials are increased/decreased in the case of positive/negative interface fixed charges, respectively, and the positive/negative interface fixed charges can decrease/increase the drain current. The model agrees well with the 3D numerical simulations and can be efficiently used to explore the effects of interface fixed charges on the drain current of the gate stack surrounding‐gate MOSFETs of the charge‐trapped memory device.

We propose a numerical method of frequency‐weighted model reduction. The model to be reduced (an original model) is a stable SISO discrete‐time model described by high‐order state‐space equations. We design the reduced‐order model so that it can interpolate 1st‐ and 2nd‐order information of the original model at complex frequency points (interpolation points) in the unit circle. The characteristics of the reduced‐order model greatly depend on the choice of the interpolation points. The proposed model reduction method is a numerical one that chooses the interpolation points by searching in the unit circle to find the reduced‐order model such that L∞‐norm of the reduction error is less than a prescribed value. This method has the following features that show that it is an effective numerical method of the frequency‐weighted model reduction. i) The reduced‐order model is guaranteed to be stable. ii) The procedure for finding the reduced‐order model is simple and requires a relatively small amount of computation. iii) The order of the reduced‐order model can be controlled by choosing the number of interpolation points. © 1998 Scripta Technica, Electr Eng Jpn, 126(2): 31–39, 1999 相似文献

We present a rigorously derived current solution for undoped double‐gate (DG) MOSFETs with two carriers, which is based on surface potentials. The third‐order Newton–Raphson (NR) method is used to solve the surface‐potential equations resulting from the application of the boundary conditions to the general Poisson solution, with an initial guess very close to the true solution. The results demonstrate surface‐potential solutions for DG MOSFETs with 2–7 iterations to achieve an accuracy of 10−15. The drain current model for two carriers is presented as a benchmark to test the accuracy of one‐carrier current approximation. © 2014 Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan.

In this paper, a three‐dimensional (3D) model of threshold voltage is presented for dual‐metal quadruple‐gate metal‐oxide‐semiconductor field effect transistors. The 3D channel potential is obtained by solving 3D Laplace's equation using an isomorphic polynomial function. Threshold voltage is defined as the gate voltage, at which the integrated charge (Qinv) at the ‘virtual‐cathode’ reaches to a critical charge Qth. The potential distribution and the threshold voltage are studied with varying the device parameters like gate metal work functions, channel cross‐section, oxide thickness, and gate length ratio. Further, the drain‐induced barrier lowering has also been analyzed for different gate length ratios. The model results are compared with the numerical simulation results obtained from 3D ATLAS device simulation results. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

This paper presents a new single‐stage single‐switch high power factor correction AC/DC converter suitable for low‐power applications (< 150 W) with a universal input voltage range (90–265 Vrms). The proposed topology integrates a buck–boost input current shaper followed by a buck and a buck–boost converter, respectively. As a result, the proposed converter can operate with larger duty cycles compared with the existing single‐stage single‐switch topologies, hence, making them suitable for extreme step‐down voltage conversion applications. Several desirable features are gained when the three integrated converter cells operate in discontinuous conduction mode. These features include low semiconductor voltage stress, zero‐current switch at turn‐on, and simple control with a fast well‐regulated output voltage. A detailed circuit analysis is performed to derive the design equations. The theoretical analysis and effectiveness of the proposed approach are confirmed by experimental results obtained from a 100‐W/24‐Vdc laboratory prototype.

Gallium nitride field‐effect transistors (GaN‐FETs) are attractive devices because of its low on‐state resistance and fast switching capability. However, they can suffer from false triggering caused by fast switching. Particularly, a disastrous oscillation of repetitive false triggering can occur after a turn‐off, which may deteriorate the reliability of power converters. To address this issue, we give a design guideline to prevent this phenomenon. We analyze a simple circuit model to derive the condition of occurrence of this phenomenon, which is then verified experimentally. Results show that the parasitic inductance of the gating circuit, Lg, and that of the decoupling circuit, Ld, should be designed so that the LC resonance frequency of Lg and the gate–source capacitance of the GaN‐FET does not coincide with that of Ld and the drain–source capacitance, respectively. © 2016 Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan.

In this paper, a two‐dimensional (2D) analytical sub‐threshold model for a novel sub‐50 nm multi‐layered‐gate electrode workfunction engineered recessed channel (MLGEWE‐RC) MOSFET is presented and investigated using ATLAS device simulator to counteract the large gate leakage current and increased standby power consumption that arise due to continued scaling of SiO2‐based gate dielectrics. The model includes the evaluation of surface potential, electric field along the channel, threshold voltage, drain‐induced barrier lowering, sub‐threshold drain current and sub‐threshold swing. Results reveal that MLGEWE‐RC MOSFET design exhibits significant enhancement in terms of improved hot carrier effect immunity, carrier transport efficiency and reduced short channel effects proving its efficacy for high‐speed integration circuits and analog design.

This paper proposes a new type of fault current limiter (FCL), which consists of a high‐TC superconducting (HTS) element and two coils wound on the same core without any leakage magnetic flux. In this FCL, either the limiting impedance or the initial limiting current level can be controlled by adjusting the inductances and the winding direction of the coils. Therefore, this FCL could relax the material restrictions on high‐TC superconducting FCL. A current‐limiting experiment by a model FCL was carried out, and the limiting performance was observed. The initial limiting current level of the model FCL was 1.7 times higher than the critical current of the HTS element, and the fault current is suppressed to 52% immediately after the short‐circuit in the test. Considering voltage–current characteristics of a high‐TC superconductor in a computer simulation, the calculated results almost agreed with the experimental results. © 1999 Scripta Technica, Electr Eng Jpn, 127(1): 31–38, 1999 相似文献

Over the past few years, with lower power consumption, reasonable layout area, and the ease of integration with standard circuit design technologies compared to the other counterparts, delay stage ring voltage‐controlled oscillators (VCOs) have been in the limelight of microelectronics scientists. However, few efforts have focused on representing high‐performance delay stage ring VCOs in the deep nanometric regime. In this regard, by virtue of outstanding electrical properties of carbon nanotube wrap‐gate transistors, this work aims to propose a carbon nanotube field‐effect transistor (CNTFET)–based delay stage ring VCO. After performing rigorous simulations, the proposed ring VCO which has been designed by 10‐nm gate‐all‐around (GAA) CNTFET technology shows suitable electrical performance metrics. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed GAA‐CNTFET‐based ring VCO consumes 85.176 μW at with a 6.12‐ to 10.42‐GHz frequency tuning range. At the worst‐case noise conditions, the proposed design presents ‐90.747 dBc/Hz phase noise at 1 MHz offset frequency. With occupying 1.414 μm2 physical area, the proposed VCO is appropriate for the ultracompact nanoscale radio frequency apparatus. Our simulation results accentuate that with further improvements and commercializing the fabrication techniques for CNTFET transistors, the proposed GAA‐CNTFET‐based VCO can be considered as a potential candidate for X‐band satellite communication applications. 相似文献

Emerging wide‐band communications and spectrum‐sensing systems demand support for multiple electronically scanned beams while maintaining a frequency independent, constant far‐field beam width. Realizing existing phased‐array technology on a digital scale is computationally intensive. Moreover, digitizing wide‐band signals at Nyquist rate requires complex high‐speed analog‐to‐digital converters (ADCs), which is challenging for real developments driven by the current ADC technology. A low‐complexity alternative proposed in this paper is the use of radio‐frequency (RF) channelizers for spectrum division followed by sub‐sampling of the RF sub‐bands, which results in extensive reduction of the necessary ADC operative frequency. The RF‐channelized array signals are directionally filtered using 2‐D digital filterbanks. This mixed‐domain RF/digital aperture array allows sub‐sampling, without utilizing multi‐rate 2‐D systolic arrays, which are difficult to realize in practice. Simulated examples showing 14–19 dB of rejection of wide‐band interference and noise for a processed bandwidth of 1.6 GHz are demonstrated. The sampling rate is 400 MHz. The proposed VLSI hardware uses a single‐phase clock signal of 400 MHz. Prototype hardware realizations and measurement using 65‐nm Xilinx field‐programmable gate arrays, as well as Cadence RTL synthesis results including gate counts, area‐time complexity, and dynamic power consumption for a 45‐nm CMOS circuit operating at B DC = 1.1 V, are presented.

This paper presents an analytical subthreshold model for surface potential and threshold voltage of a triple‐material double‐gate (DG) metal–oxide–semiconductor field‐effect transistor. The model is developed by using a rectangular Gaussian box in the channel depletion region with the required boundary conditions at the source and drain end. The model is used to study the effect of triple‐material gate structure on the electrical performance of the device in terms of changes in potential and electric field. The device immunity against short‐channel effects is evaluated by comparing the relative performance parameters such as drain‐induced barrier lowering, threshold voltage roll‐off, and subthreshold swing with its counterparts in the single‐material DG and double‐material DG metal–oxide–semiconductor field‐effect transistors. The developed surface potential model not only provides device physics insight but is also computationally efficient because of its simple compact form that can be utilized to study and characterize the gate‐engineered devices. Furthermore, the effects of quantum confinement are analyzed with the development of a quantum‐mechanical correction term for threshold voltage. The results obtained from the model are in close agreement with the data extracted from numerical Technology Computer Aided Design device simulation. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献
