In this paper, the threshold voltage roll-off and drain induced barrier lowering(DIBL) have been analyzed for nano structure double gate FinFET. The analytical current model has been developed, including thermionic current and tunneling current models. The potential distribution by Poisson equation and carrier distribution by Maxwell-Boltzman statistics were used to calculate thermionic omission current, and WKB(Wentzel- Kramers-Brillouin) approximation to tunneling current. The threshold voltage roll-offs are obtained by simple adding two currents since two current is independent. The threshold voltage roll-off by this model are compared with those by two dimensional simulation and two values are good agreement. Since the tunneling current increases especially under channel length of 10nm, the threshold voltage roll-off and DIBL are very large. The channel and gate oxide thickness have to be fabricated as thin as possible to decrease this short channel effects, and this process has to be developed.

소자의 축소화에 따라 floating gate 형의 flash 메모리 소자는 얇은 게이트 절연막 등의 이유로, 이웃 셀 간의 커플링 및 게이트 누설 전류와 같은 문제점을 지니고 있다. 이러한 문제점을 극복하기 위해 charge trap flash 메모리 (CTF) 소자가 연구되고 있지만, CTF 메모리 소자는 쓰기/지우기 속도와 데이터 보존 성능간의 trade-off 관계와 같은 문제점을 지니고 있다. 최근, 이를 극복하기 위한 방안으로, 다른 유전율을 갖는 유전체들을 적층시킨 터널 절연막을 이용한 Tunnel Barrier Engineered (TBE) 기술이 주목 받고 있다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 TBE 기술을 적용한 MIS-capacitor를 높은 유전율을 가지는 Al2O3와 HfO2를 이용하여 제작하였다. 이를 위해 먼저 Si 기판 위에 Al2O3 /HfO2 /Al2O3 (AHA)를 Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) 방법으로 약 2/1/3 nm의 두께를 가지도록 증착 하였고, Aluminum을 150 nm 증착 하여 게이트 전극으로 이용하였다. Capacitance-Voltage와 Current-Voltage 특성을 측정, 분석함으로써, AHA 구조를 가지는 터널 절연막의 전기적인 특성을 확인 하였다. 또한, high-k 물질을 이용한 터널 절연막을 급속 열처리 공정 (Rapid Thermal Annealing-RTA) 과 H2/N2분위기에서 후속열처리 공정 (Post-RTA)을 통하여 전기적인 특성을 개선 시켰다. 적층된 터널 절연막은 열처리를 통해 터널링 전류의 민감도의 향상과 함께 누설전류가 감소됨으로서 우수한 전기적인 특성이 나타남을 확인하였으며, 적층된 터널 절연막 구조와 적절한 열처리를 이용하여 빠른 쓰기/지우기 속도와 전기적인 특성이 향상된 비휘발성 메모리 소자를 기대할 수 있다.

This paper introduces about the structure guide lines of pocket tunneling Field effect transistor. As the pocket length or thickness increase, on-current $I_{on}$ increases. As the pocket thickness is less than 3nm, subthreshold swing (SS) increase. As the dielectric constants of the gate insulator increases, the performance of on-current and subthreshold swing enhances.

Reduction of breakdown voltage is serious short channel effect (SCE) by shrink of channel length. The deviation of breakdown voltage for doping concentration is investigated with structural parameters of sub-10 nm double gate (DG) MOSFET in this paper. To analyze this, thermionic and tunneling current are derived from analytical potential distribution, and breakdown voltage is defined as drain voltage when the sum of two currents is $10{\mu}A$. As a result, breakdown voltage increases with increase of doping concentration. Breakdown voltage decreases by reduction of channel length. In order to solve this problem, it is found that silicon and oxide thicknesses should be kept very small. In particular, as contributions of tunneling current increases, breakdown voltage increases.

본 연구에서는 나노구조 FinFET 제작시 게이트산화막 특성이 서브문턱영역에서 전송특성에 미치는 영향을 분석하고자 한다. 이를 위하여 분석학적 전송모델을 사용하였으며 분석학적 모델을 유도하기 위하여 포아슨방정식을 이용하였다. 나노구조 FinFET에서 문턱전압이하의 전류전도에 영향을 미치는 열방사전류와 터널링전류에 대하여 분석하였으며 본 연구의 모델이 타당하다는 것을 입증하기 위하여 서브문턱스윙값을 이차원 시뮬레이션값과 비교하였다. 결과적으로 본 연구에서 제시한 전송특성모델이 이차원 시뮬레이션모델과 매우 잘 일치하였으며 FinFET의 전송특성이 게이트산화막의 특성에 따라 매우 큰 변화를 보이는 것을 알 수 있었다. 특히 게이트길이가 작아지면서 전송특성에 커다란 영향을 미치는 터널링특성에 대하여 집중적으로 분석하였다.

In this work, Er-silicided SB-SOI nMOSFET and Pt-silicided SB-SOI pMOSFET have been fabricated to investigate the current-voltage characteristics of Schottky barrier SOI nMOS and pMOS at elevated temperature. The dominant current transport mechanism of SB nMOS and pMOS is discussed using the measurement results of the temperature dependence of drain current with gate voltages. It is observed that the drain current increases with the increase of operating temperature at low gate voltage due to the increase of thermal emission and tunneling current. But the drain current is decreased at high gate voltage due to the decrease of the drift current. It is observed that the ON/Off current ratio is decreased due to the increased tunneling current from the drain to channel region although the ON current is increased at elevated temperature. The threshold voltage variation with temperature is smaller and the subthreshold swing is larger in SB-SOI nMOS and pMOS than in SOI devices or in bulk MOSFETs.

We have investigated tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) properties of Fe/$Al_2O_3$/Co magnetic trilayer junctions sputtered on single-crystal Si (001) substrates. $Al_2O_3$ layers with thicknesses of 50~200 $\AA$ were deposited directly on the bottom ferromagnetic layer by a reactive rf sputtering. For comparsion, we prepared Pt/$Al_2O_3$/Pt tunnel junctions whose current-voltage (I-V) characteristics measured at 300 K indicated that reactively sputtered $Al_2O_3$ is a particularly good material for thin insulating barriers and allows us to form pinhole-free tunnel barriers. The magnetic tunnel junctions exhibit changes of tunnel resistance of about 0.1% at 300 K with an applied magnetic field and it was found that most junctions with Co as a top electrode have rather good I-V and TMR characteristics compared to those with Fe as a electrode. These results were discussed in relation to interfacial on the basis of those for Pt/$Al_2O_3$/Pt.

Current-voltage characteristics of source-overlapped gate tunnel field-effect transistor (SOG-TFET) with different channel doping concentration are proposed. Due to the gaussian doping in which the channel region near the source is highly doped and that far from the source is lightly doped, the ambipolar current was reduced, compared with the uniformly-doped SOG-TFET. On-current is almost similar in P-P-N and P-I-N structure but subthreshold swing (SS) of P-P-N TFET enhanced 5 times higher than those of P-I-N TFET. off-current and ambiploar current of the proposed SOG-TFET decrease 10 times and 100 times than those of the uniformly-doped SOG-TFET.

In this paper, it has been analyzed how transport characteristics is influenced on gate oxide properties in the subthreshold region as nano structure FinFET is fabricated. The analytical model is used to derive transport model, and Possion equation is used to obtain analytical model. The thermionic emission and tunneling current to have an influence on subthreshold current conduction are analyzed for nano-structure FinFET, and subthreshold swings of this paper are compared with those of two dimensional simulation to verify this model. As a result, transport model presented in this paper is good agreement with two dimensional simulation model, and this study shows that the transport characteristics have been changed by gate oxide properties. As gate length becomes smaller, funneling characteristics, one of the most important transport mechanism, have been analyzed.
