通过在圆柱坐标系中精确求解泊松方程,建立了全新的Halo掺杂圆柱围栅MOSFET静电势,电场以及阈值电压的解析模型。与采用抛物线电势近似法得到的解析模型相比,当沟道半径远大于氧化层厚度时,新模型更为精确。模型还考虑了Halo区掺杂浓度、氧化层厚度以及沟道半径对器件阈值电压特性的影响。结果表明,采用中等程度的halo区掺杂浓度、较薄的栅氧化层以及较小的沟道半径可以有效改善器件的阈值电压特性。解析模型与三维数值模拟软件ISE所得结果高度吻合。     

New analytical threshold voltage model for halo-doped cylindrical surrounding-gate MOSFETs

Using an exact solution of two-dimensional Poisson’s equation in cylindrical coordinates,a new analytical model comprising electrostatic potential,electric field,threshold voltage and subthreshold current for halodoped surrounding-gate MOSFETs is developed.It is found that a new analytical model exhibits higher accuracy than that based on parabolic potential approximation when the thickness of the silicon channel is much larger than that of the oxide.It is also revealed that moderate halo doping concentration,thin gate oxide thickness and small silicon channel radius are needed to improve the threshold voltage characteristics.The derived analytical model agrees well with a three-dimensional numerical device simulator ISE.     

Self-heating characterization and extraction method for thermal resistance and capacitance in HV MOSFETs

This letter reports on the self-heating effect (SHE) characterization of high-voltage (HV) DMOSFETs and the accurate extraction of the equivalent thermal impedance of the device (thermal resistance, R/sub TH/, and capacitance, C/sub TH/) needed for advanced device and IC simulation. A simple pulsed-gate experiment is proposed and the influence of its parameters (pulse duration and duty factor) are analyzed. It is demonstrated that in our 100 V DMOSFET, SHE is cancelled by using pulses with duration less that 2 /spl mu/s and duty factor lower that 1:100. The new extraction method exploits analytical modeling and dedicated extraction plots for thermal resistance and capacitance using the measurements of output characteristics at various applied pulses and the gradual reduction of SHE with pulse duration and duty factor. Both R/sub TH/ and C/sub TH/ are extracted in saturation region considering their dependence on SHE and external temperature. In DMOSFETs, the thermal resistance is shown to be a significant linear function of the device temperature (in our device, R/sub TH/ could increase by more than 100% over 100/spl deg/C). The thermal capacitance appears to decrease with the injected power and shows a plateau at high V/sub D/. SPICE simulations with the extracted thermal network R/sub TH/-C/sub TH/ circuit are finally used to fully validate the proposed method.     

Analytical threshold voltage model for short channel double-gateSOI MOSFETs

Solving a two-dimensional (2-D) Poisson equation and assuming the minimum potential determines the threshold voltage, V_th, we derived a model for V_th of short channel double-gate SOI MOSFETs, and verified its validity by comparing with numerical data. We evaluated the threshold voltage lowering, ΔV_th, and subthreshold swing (S-swing) degradation with decreasing gate length L _G, and showed that we can design a 0.05-μm-L_G device with ΔV_th of less than 50 mV and an S-swing of less than 70 mV/decade if 10-nm-thick SOI is available     

Observation of MOSFET degradation due to electrical stressingthrough gate-to-source and gate-to-drain capacitance measurement

The authors present observations of changes in the gate capacitances of a MOSFET as a result of hot-carrier stressing and propose capacitance measurement as a method for evaluation of trapped charge. The effect of hot-carrier stressing on 2-μm effective channel length n-channel MOSFETs was monitored by measuring the gate-to-source capacitance and the gate-to drain capacitance. It was found that after electrically stressing a junction of the transistor, capacitances associated with the stressed junction were reduced, whereas the capacitances of the unstressed junction were found to have increased. The observation is explained in terms of the change in channel potential near the stressed junction due to negative trapped charge     

Modelling the threshold voltage of short-channel silicon-on-insulator MOSFETs

A simple analytical model for the threshold voltage of short-channel, thin-film, fully-depleted silicon-on-insulator MOSFETs is presented. The model is based on the analytical solution for the two-dimensional potential distribution in the silicon film, which is taken as the sum of the long-channel solution to the Poisson equation and the short-channel solution to the Laplace equation. The model shows close agreement with numerical PISCES simulation results. The equivalence between the proposed model and the parabolic model of Young (1989) is also proven.<>     

Compact modeling of the effects of parasitic internal fringe capacitance on the threshold voltage of high-k gate-dielectric nanoscale SOI MOSFETs

A compact model for the effect of the parasitic internal fringe capacitance on the threshold voltage of high-k gate-dielectric silicon-on-insulator MOSFETs is developed. The authors' model includes the effects of the gate-dielectric permittivity, spacer oxide permittivity, spacer width, gate length, and the width of an MOS structure. A simple expression for the parasitic internal fringe capacitance from the bottom edge of the gate electrode is obtained and the charges induced in the source and drain regions due to this capacitance are considered. The authors demonstrate an increase in the surface potential along the channel due to these charges, resulting in a decrease in the threshold voltage with an increase in the gate-dielectric permittivity. The accuracy of the results obtained using the authors' analytical model is verified using two-dimensional device simulations.     

Quantum-mechanical effects on the threshold voltage of undoped double-gate MOSFETs

Quantum-mechanical (QM), or carrier energy-quantization, effects on the subthreshold characteristics, including the threshold voltage (V/sub t/), of generic undoped double-gate (DG) CMOS devices with ultrathin (Si) bodies (UTBs) are physically modeled. The analytic model, with dependences on the UTB thickness (t/sub Si/), the transverse electric field, and the UTB surface orientation, shows how V/sub t/ is increased, and reveals that 1) the subthreshold carrier population in higher-energy subbands is significant, 2) the QM effects in DG devices with {110}-Si surfaces, common in FinFETs, are comparable to those for {100}-Si surfaces for t/sub Si/>/spl sim/4 nm, 3) the QM effects can increase the gate swing, and (iv) the QM effects, especially for t/sub Si/相似文献   

Two-dimensional threshold voltage analytical modes of DMG strained-silicon-on-insulator MOSFETs

For the first time, a simple and accurate two-dimensional analytical model for the surface potential variation along the channel in fully depleted dual-material gate strained-Si-on-insulator (DMG SSOI) MOSFETs is developed. We investigate the improved short channel effect (SCE), hot carrier effect (HCE), drain-induced barrier-lowering (DIBL) and carrier transport efficiency for the novel structure MOSFET. The analytical model takes into account the effects of different metal gate lengths, work functions, the drain bias and Ge mole fraction in the relaxed SiGe buffer. The surface potential in the channel region exhibits a step potential, which can suppress SCE, HCE and DIBL. Also, strained-Si and SOI structure can improve the carrier transport efficiency, with strained-Si being particularly effective. Further,the threshold voltage model correctly predicts a "rollup" in threshold voltage with decreasing channel length ratios or Ge mole fraction in the relaxed SiGe buffer. The validity of the two-dimensional analytical model is verified using numerical simulations.

A capacitance method to determine the gate-to-drain/Source overlap length of MOSFET's

A method is described which uses accurate measurement of gate-to-drain/source overlap capacitances to determine the gate-to-drain/ source overlap length for process control as well as device characterization. The method might also be a useful analytical tool in studying lateral dopant diffusion. Using this technique, the variation in overlap length of MOSFET's in a 4-in wafer is mapped. It is found that a significant spread of the overlap exits and is attributable to the implant shadowing by the polysilicon gate.     

A physical short-channel threshold voltage model for undoped symmetric double-gate MOSFETs

A compact, physical, short-channel threshold voltage model for undoped symmetric double-gate MOSFETs has been derived based on an analytical solution of the two-dimensional (2-D) Poisson equation with the mobile charge term included. The new model is verified by published numerical simulations with close agreement. Applying the newly developed model, threshold voltage sensitivities to channel length, channel thickness, and gate oxide thickness have been comprehensively investigated. For practical device designs the channel length causes 30-50% more threshold voltage variation than does the channel thickness for the same process tolerance, while the gate oxide thickness causes the least, relatively insignificant threshold voltage variation. Model predictions indicate that individual DG MOSFETs with good turn-off behavior are feasible at 10 nm scale; however, practical exploitation of these devices toward gigascale integrated systems requires development of novel technologies for significant improvement in process control.

A new threshold voltage model for deep-submicron MOSFETs with nonuniform substrate dopings

A simple but accurate threshold voltage model for deep-submicron MOSFETs with nonuniform dopings is described in this paper. In this model, a simplified quasi-delta substrate doping profile is used to approximate the nonuniformity. We apply a hyperbola function to avoid the discontinuous problem at the boundary between different doping regions. By adjusting the parameter δ, the actual gradual doping profile can be obtained. A substrate-bias dependent model of short channel effect is also introduced which describes the reduction of substrate-bias effect in deep-submicron devices. The model developed is in good agreement with two-dimensional numerical simulation.
