This work presents a novel structure for junction-less tunneling field effect transistor (JL-TFET) with a floating gate over the source region. Introduction of floating gate instead of fixed metal gate removes the limitation of fabrication process suitability. The proposed device is based on a heavily n-type-doped Si-channel junction-less field effect transistor (JLFET). A floating gate over source region and a control-gate with optimized metal work-function over channel region is used to make device work like a tunnel field effect transistor (TFET). The proposed device has exhibited excellent ID-VGS characteristics, ION/IOFF ratio, a point subthreshold slope (SS), and average SS for optimized device parameters. Electron charge stored in floating gate, isolation oxide layer and body doping concentration are optimized. The proposed JL-TFET can be a promising candidate for switching performances.

새로 제안된 기체방전 AND gate를 3전극 면방전 AC PDP에 적용하기 위하여 DC-AC floating 방전을 사용한 어드레스 방전 특성을 해석하였다. 실험결과 Y 전극을 floating 전극으로 한 floating 방전을 이용하여 어드레스 방전을 개시시킬 수 있었으며 표시방전을 유지시킬 수 있었다. 또한 floating 방전과 타이밍을 일치시켜 보조전극에 DC 프라이밍 방전을 일으켜 줌으로써 floating 방전 공간에 공간전하를 충분히 공급해 주어 그 결과 데이터 전압을 100(V)까지 낮출 수 있었다. 이 DC-AC floating 방전을 사용한 구동방식은 100(V)의 어드레스 동작마진을 얻을 수 있었다.

From 20nm technology node, the finFET has become standard device for ULSI's. However, the finFET process made stacking gate non-volatile memory obsolete. Some reported capacitor-less DRAM structure by utilizing the FBE. We present possible non-volatile memory device structure similar to the dual gate MOSFET. One of the gates is left floating. Since body of the finFET is only 40nm thick, control gate bias can make electron tunneling through the floating gate oxide which sits across the body. For programming, gate is biased to accumulation mode with few volts. Simulation results show that the programming electron current flows at the interface between floating gate oxide and the body. It also shows that the magnitude of the programming current can be easily controlled by the drain voltage. Injected electrons at the floating gate act similar to the body bias which changes the threshold voltage of the device.

We have investigated the effects of doping concentration in polysilicon floating gate on the endurance characteristics of the EEPROM cell haying the structure of spacer select transistor. Several samples were prepared with different implantation conditions of phosphorus for the floating gate. Results show the dependence of doping concentration in polysilicon floating gate on performance of EEPROM cell from the floating gate engineering point of view. All of the samples were endured up to half million programming/erasing cycle. However, the best $program-{\Delta}V_{T}$ characteristic was obtained in the cell doped at the dose of $1{\times}10^{15}/cm^{2}$.

In this paper, we have simulated a Symmetric Dual-gate Single-Si TFT which has three split floating $n^{+}$ zones. This structure reduces the kink-effect drastically and improves the on-current. Due to the separated floating $n^{+}$ zones, the transistor channel region is split into four zones with different lengths defined by a floating $n^{+}$ region. This structure allows an effective reduction of the kink-effect depending on the length of two sub-channels. The on-current of the proposed dual-gate structure is 0.9 mA while that of the conventional dual-gate structure is 0.5 mA at a 12 V drain voltage and a 7 V gate voltage. This results show a $80 {\%}$ enhancement in on-current by adding two floating $n^{+}$ zones. Moreover we observed the reduction of electric field In the channel region compared to conventional single-gate TFT and the reduction of the output conductance in the saturation region. In addition we also confirmed the reduction of hole concentration in the channel region so that the kink-effect reduces effectively.

Back-gated silicon-on-insulator MOSFET -a threshold-voltage adjustable device-employs a constant back-gate potential to terminate source-drain electric fields and to provide carrier confinement in the channel. This suppresses shortchannel effects of nano-scale and of high drain biases, while allowing a means to threshold voltage control. We report here a theoretical analysis of this geometry to identify its natural length scales, and correlate the theoretical results with experimental device measurements. We also analyze experimental electrical characteristics for misaligned back-gate geometries to evaluate the influence on transport behavior from the device electrostatics due to the structure and position of the back-gate. The backgate structure also operates as a floating-gate nonvolatile memory (NVRAM) when the back-gate is floating. We summarize experimental and theoretical results that show the nano-scale scaling advantages of this structure over the traditional front floating-gate NVRAM.

Flash EEPROM에서 칩 전체나 또는 칩의 한 블록에 속에 있는 모든 셀들의 소거는 Fowler-Nordheim (FN) 터널링 방식을 사용하여 일괄적으로 수행되고 있다. 이러한 FN 터널링에 의한 소거는 self-limited 공정이 아니기 때문에 일부의 셀들이 심하게 과소거되는 문제가 자주 발생하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 과소거 문제를 해결하기 위한 부유게이트의 최적 도핑 농도에 관하여 연구하였다. 이러한 연구를 위하여 다양한 도핑 농도를 갖는 n-type MOSFET과 MOS 커패시터를 제작하였고, 이 소자들의 전기적인 특성들을 측정 및 분석하였다. 실험 결과, 부유게이트의 도핑 농도가 충분히 낮다면 ($1.3{\times}10^{18}/cm^3$ 이하) 과소거가 방지될 수 있음을 볼 수 있었다. 이는, 소거시 부유게이트에 저장되었던 전자들의 대부분이 빠져나가면 부유게이트에 공핍층이 형성되어 부유게이트와 소스 사이의 전압 차가 감소하고 따라서 소거가 자동적으로 멈추기 때문이라고 판단된다. 반면에 부유게이트의 도핑 농도가 너무 낮을 경우 ($1.3{\times}10^{17}/cm^3$ 이하)에는 문턱 전압과 gm의 균일도가 크게 나빠졌는데, 이는 부유게이트에서 segregation으로 인한 불순물의 불균일한 손실에 의한 것이로 판단된다. 결론적으로 Flash EEPROM에서 과소거 현상을 방지하고 균일한 문턱 전압과 gm을 갖기 위한 최적의 부유게이트의 도핑 농도는 $1.3{\times}10^{17}/cm^3$에서 $1.3{\times}10^{18}/cm^3$의 범위인 것으로 발견되었다.

A dual-gate SOI SA-LIGBT (shorted-anode lateral insulated gate bipolar transistor) which eliminates the snapback effectively is proposed and verified by numerical simulation. The elimination of the snapback in I-V characteristics is obtained by initiating the hole injection at low anode voltage by employing a dual gate and a floating electrode in the proposed device. For the proposed device, the snapback phenomenon is completely eliminate, while snapback of conventional SA-LIGBT occurs at anode voltage of 11 V. Also, the drive signals of two gates have same polarity by employing the floating electrode, thereby requiring no additional power supply.

The floating-gate MOSFETs were fabricated by employing 1.5 m n-well CMOS process and their optical-electrical properties were characterized for the application to CMOS image sensor system. Based on the simulation of energy band diagram and operating mechanism of parasitic BJT were proposed as solutions for the increase of photo-current value. In order to realize them, MOSFETs having multi-gate and channel structures were fabricated and 60% increase in photo-current was achieved through enlargement of depletion layer and parallel connection of parasitic BJTs by channel division.
