Abstract: | Novel analytical models for subthreshold current and subthreshold slope of a generic underlap DGMOSFET are proposed. The proposed models are validated with published models, experimental data along with numerical simulation results. The reasonably good agreement shows the accuracy of the proposed model. It is demonstrated how device subthreshold leakage current and subthreshold slope values can be favorably affected by proper back gate biasing, back gate asymmetry and gate work function engineering in combination with gate underlap engineering. It is demonstrated that independent gate operation in combination with gate underlap engineering significantly reduce subthreshold leakage currents as compared to nonunderlap-tied gate DGMOSFET. With the reduction in body thickness, an improvement in subthreshold slope value of underlap 4T DGMOSFET is seen, particularly as back/front gate oxide asymmetry. Developed models demonstrate that asymmetric work function underlap 4T DGMOSFETs would have better device subthreshold slope value along with increased back gate oxide asymmetry. |
