Sub-90nm급 high speed 소자를 위해서는 extension영역의 shallow junction과 sheet 저항의 감소가 필수적이다. 일반적으로 기생저항은 channel저항의 약 10-20%정도를 차지하도록 제작되므로, 이를 최소화하여 optimize하기 위해서는 기생저항에 대한 성분 분리와 이들이 가지는 저항값에 대한 정량적 계산이 이루어져야 한다. 이에 본 논문은 calibration된 TCAD simulation을 통해 90nm급 Tr. 에서 각 영역의 저항성분을 계산, 평가하는 방법을 제시한다. 이 결과, 특히, extension영역의 표면-accumulation부분이 가장 개선이 있어야 할 부분으로 분석되었으며, 이 저항은 gate하부에 존재하는 extension으로부터 발if되는 측면 doping의 tail영역으로 인해 형성되는 것으로,doping의 abruptness가 가장 중요한 factor인 것으로 판단된다.

In this present paper, a comprehensive drain current model incorporating the effects of channel length modulation has been presented for multi-layered gate material engineered trapezoidal recessed channel (MLGME-TRC) MOSFET and the expression for linearity performance metrics, i.e. higher order transconductance coefficients: $g_{m1}$, $g_{m2}$, $g_{m3}$, and figure-of-merit (FOM) metrics; $V_{IP2}$, $V_{IP3}$, IIP3 and 1-dB compression point, has been obtained. It is shown that, the incorporation of multi-layered architecture on gate material engineered trapezoidal recessed channel (GME-TRC) MOSFET leads to improved linearity performance in comparison to its conventional counterparts trapezoidal recessed channel (TRC) and rectangular recessed channel (RRC) MOSFETs, proving its efficiency for low-noise applications and future ULSI production. The impact of various structural parameters such as variation of work function, substrate doping and source/drain junction depth ($X_j$) or negative junction depth (NJD) have been examined for GME-TRC MOSFET and compared its effectiveness with MLGME-TRC MOSFET. The results obtained from proposed model are verified with simulated and experimental results. A good agreement between the results is obtained, thus validating the model.

Electrical properties of $Si_{0.88}Ge_{0.12}(C)$ p-MOSFETs have been exploited in an effort to investigate $Si_{0.88}Ge_{0.12}(C)$ channel structures designed especially to suppress diffusion of dopants during epitaxial growth and subsequent fabrication processes. The incorporation of 0.1 percent of carbon in $Si_{0.88}Ge_{0.12}$ channel layer could accomodate stress due to lattice mismatch and adjust bandgap energy slightly, but resulted in deteriorated current-voltage properties in a broad range of operation conditions with depressed gain, high subthreshold current level and many weak breakdown electric field in gateoxide. $Si_{0.88}Ge_{0.12}(C)$ channel structures with boron delta-doping represented increased conductance and feasible use of modulation doped device of $Si_{0.88}Ge_{0.12}(C)$ heterostructures.

This paper have analyzed the change of breakdown voltage for conduction path of double gate(DG) MOSFET. The low breakdown voltage among the short channel effects of DGMOSFET have become obstacles of device operation. The analytical solution of Poisson's equation have been used to analyze the breakdown voltage, and Gaussian function been used as carrier distribution to analyze closely for experimental results. The change of breakdown voltages for conduction path have been analyzed for device parameters such as channel length, channel thickness, gate oxide thickness and doping concentration. Since this potential model has been verified in the previous papers, we have used this model to analyze the breakdown voltage. Resultly, we know the breakdown voltage is greatly influenced on the change of conduction path for device parameters of DGMOSFET.

This paper analyzed the phenomenon of drain induced barrier lowering(DIBL) for the ratio of channel length vs. thickness of asymmetric double gate(DG) MOSFET. DIBL, the important secondary effect, is occurred for short channel MOSFET in which drain voltage influences on potential barrier height of source, and significantly affects on transistor characteristics such as threshold voltage movement. The series potential distribution is derived from Poisson's equation to analyze DIBL, and threshold voltage is defined by top gate voltage of asymmetric DGMOSFET in case the off current is 10^-7 A/m. Since asymmetric DGMOSFET has the advantage that channel length and channel thickness can significantly minimize, and short channel effects reduce, DIBL is investigated for the ratio of channel length vs. thickness in this study. As a results, DIBL is greatly influenced by the ratio of channel length vs. thickness. We also know DIBL is greatly changed for bottom gate voltage, top/bottom gate oxide thickness and channel doping concentration.

현재 AMLCD(Active Matrix Liquid Crystal Display)는 노트북, 컴퓨터, TV등 여러 영상매체에 있어 가장 많이 활용되고 있는 디스플레이로 손꼽힌다. AMLCD에 구동소자로 사용되는 a-Si:H TFT는 낮은 제조비용과 축적된 기술을 바탕으로 가장 많이 쓰이고 있다. 특히 a-Si이 가지는 소형화나 대형화의 편의성은 모바일 기기, projection TV, 광고용 패널 등 적용분야가 점점 넓어지고 있는 추세이다. 하지만 a-Si라는 물질 자체가 가지는 낮은 이동도는 더 많은 application을 위해 해결되어야 할 과제이다. 낮은 이동도는 a-Si 실리콘 원자간 결합의 불규칙성 및 무질서와 dangling bond에 의한 localize state(deep trap, band tail)의 존재 때문에 발생하며 결과적으로 TFT 소자의 특성의 저하를 가져온다. 앞선 연구에서는 carrier이동도의 개선을 위해서 첫 번째로 insulator층과 active층 사이의 계면 상태를 향상시키기 위해 insulator로 쓰이는 a-SiN층 표면에 0~18 sccm의 유량으로 phosphorus를 주입하였다. AFM분석을 해본 결과 phosphorus를 주입함으로써 계면의 roughness가 줄어드는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 이러한 계면의 roughness 감소는 표면 산란(surface scattering)및 전자 포획(trap)의 영향을 줄임으로써 이동도의 향상을 가져왔다. 두 번째로 active층으로 쓰이는 a-Si:H 층의 표면에 phosphorus를 0?9sccm의 유량으로 doping하였다. 이로 인해 channel이 형성되는 active 영역에 직접적으로 불순물을 doping됨으로써 전도도를 증가되어 이동도를 향상시켰다. 하지만 지나친 doping은 불순물 산란(impurity scattering)의 증가로 인해 이동도를 저하시키는 결과를 보여 주었다. 본 연구에서는 TFT의 이동도 향상을 위해 두 가지의 technology를 함께 적용시켜 a-SiN/a-Si:H 계면 각각에 phosphorus를 주입 및 doping을 하였다. 모든 박막은 PECVD로 제작하였으며 각 박막의 두께는 a-SiN/a-SiN(phosphorus)/a-Si:H(doped)/a-Si:H/n+ a-Si($2350{\AA}/150{\AA}/150{\AA}/1850{\AA}/150{\AA}$)으로 고정하고 유량을 변화시키면서 특성을 관찰하였다.

In this paper, the relationship of potential and charge distribution in channel for double gate(DG) MOSFET has been derived from Poisson's equation using Gaussian function. The relationship of subthreshold swing and oxide thickness has been investigated according to variables of doping distribution using Gaussian function, i.e. projected range and standard projected deviation, The analytical potential distribution model has been derived from Poisson's equation, and subthreshold swing has been obtained from this model for the change of oxide thickness. The subthreshold swing has been defined as the derivative of gate voltage to drain current and is theoretically minimum of 60 mS/dec, and very important factor in digital application. Those results of this potential model are compared with those of numerical simulation to verify this model. As a result, since potential model presented in this paper is good agreement with numerical model, the relationship of subthreshold swing and oxide thickness have been analyzed according to the shape of doping distribution.

The reduction of threshold voltage and punchthrough voltage of short channel MOS transistors has been measured experimentally with silicon gate NMOS transistors. The effects of the gate oxide thickness and substrate doping concentration on the threshold voltage and punch-through voltage have also been measured with sample devices with boron implantation and gate oxide thickness of 50 nm and 70 nm. Hot electron emission has been measured by floating gate method for the samples with 3 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ channel length. It has been concluded from this measurement that hot electron emission is not significant for the channel length of 3${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$.
