본 논문에서는 일반적인 실리콘 기반 n-MOSFET(n-type Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor)의 절연 산화막 계면에서 방사선으로부터 유발되는 누설전류 경로를 차단하기 위하여 I형 게이트 n-MOSEFT 구조를 제안하였다. I형 게이트 n-MOSFET 구조는 상용 0.18um CMOS(Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) 공정에서 레이아웃 변형 기법을 이용하여 설계되었으며, ELT(Enclosed Layout Transistor)와 DGA(Dummy Gate-Assisted) n-MOSFET와 같은 레이아웃 변형 기법을 사용한 기존 내방사선 전자소자의 구조적 단점을 개선하였다. 따라서, 기존 구조와 비교하여 반도체 칩 제작에서 회로 설계의 확장성을 확보할 수 있다. 또한, 내방사선 특성 검증을 위하여 TCAD 3D(Technology Computer Aided Design 3-dimension) tool을 사용하여 모델링과 모의실험을 수행하였고, 그 결과 I형 게이트 n-MOSFET 구조의 내방사선 특성을 확인하였다.

Electronic components that are used in high-level radiation environment require a semiconductor device having a radiation-hardened characteristic. In this paper, we proposed a radiation-hardened I-gate n-MOSFET (n-type Metal Oxide Semiconductors Field Effect Transistors) using a layout modification technique only. The proposed I-gate n-MOSFET structure is modified as an I-shaped gate poly in order to mitigate a radiation-induced leakage current in the standard n-MOSFET structure. For verification of its radiation-hardened characteristic, the M&S (Modeling and Simulation) of the 3D (3-Dimension) structure is performed by TCAD (Technology Computer Aided Design) tool. In addition, we carried out an evaluation test using a $Co^{60}$ gamma-ray source of 10kGy(Si)/h. As a result, we have confirmed the radiation-hardened level up to a total ionizing dose of 20kGy(Si).

When subjected to a change in dimensions, the device performance decreases. Multi-gate SOI devices, viz. the Double Gate MOSFET (DG-MOSFET), are expected to make inroads into integrated circuit applications previously dominated exclusively by planar MOSFETs. The primary focus of attention is how channel engineering (i.e. Graded Channel (GC)) and gate engineering (i.e. Dual Insulator (DI)) as gate oxide) creates an effect on the device performance, specifically, leakage current ($I_{off}$), on current ($I_{on}$), and DIBL. This study examines the performance of the devices, by virtue of a simulation analysis, in conjunction with N-channel DG-MOSFETs. The important parameters for improvement in circuit speed and power consumption are discussed. From the analysis, DG-DI MOSFET is the most suitable candidate for high speed switching application, simultaneously providing better performance as an amplifier.

An analysis of the 1/f or flicker noise in FD n-channel Double Gate SOI MOSFET is proposed. In this paper, the variation of power spectral density (PSD) of the equivalent noise voltage and noise current with respect to frequency, channel length and gate-to-source voltage at various temperatures and exponent $C(i.e\;1/f^c$ is reported. The temperature is varied 125 K from to room temperature. The variation of PSD with respect to channel length down to $0.1{\mu}m$ technology is considered. It is analyzed that l/f noise in FD n-channel Double Gate SOI MOSFET is due to both carrierdensity fluctuations and mobility-fluctuations. But controversy still exits to its origin.

In this paper, we propose a triple-gate trench power MOSFET (TGRMOS) that is made through a modified RESURF stepped oxide (RSO) process, that is, the nitride_RSO process. The electrical characteristics of TGRMOSs, such as the blocking voltage ($BV_{DS}$) and on-state current ($I_{D,MAX}$), are strongly dependent on the gate configuration and its bias condition. In the nitride_RSO process, the thick single insulation layer ($SiO_2$) of a conventional RSO power MOSFET is changed to a multilayered insulator ($SiO_2/SiN_x/TEOS$). The inserted $SiN_x$ layer can create the selective etching of the TEOS layer between the gate oxide and poly-Si layers. After additional oxidation and the poly-Si filling processes, the gates are automatically separated into three parts. Moreover, to confirm the variation in the electrical properties of TGRMOSs, such as $BV_{DS}$ and $I_{D,MAX}$, simulation studies are performed on the function of the gate configurations and their bias conditions. $BV_{DS}$ and $I_{D,MAX}$ are controlled from 87 V to 152 V and from 0.14 mA to 0.24 mA at a 15-V gate voltage. This $I_{D,MAX}$ variation indicates the specific on-resistance modulation.

Thw VLSI device of submicron level trends to have a low level of reliability because of hot carriers which are caused by short channel effects and which do not appear in a long-channel MOSFET operated in 5V. In order to minimize the generation of hot carrier, much research has been made into various types of drain structures. This study has suggested CG MOSFET (Concaved Gate MOSFET) as new drain structure and compared its electrical characteristics with those of the conventional MOSFET and LDD-structured MOSFET by making use of a simulation method. These three device were assumed to be produced by the LOCOS process and a computer-based analysis(PISCES-2B simulator) was carried out to verify the hot electron-resistant behaviours of the devices. In the present simulation, the channel length of these devises was 1.0$\mu$m and their DC characteristics, such as VS1DT-IS1DT curves, gate and substrate current, potential contours, breakdown voltage and electric field were compared with one another.

The effects of oxide thickness and gate length of MgO/GaN metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFETs) on I-V, threshold voltage and breakdown voltage characteristics were examined using a drift-diffusion model. The saturation drain current scales in an inverse logarithmic fashion with MgO thickness and is < 10$^{-3}$ A.${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$$^{-1}$ for 0.5 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ gate length devices with oxide thickness > 600 $\AA$ or for all 1 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ gate length MOSFETs with oxide thickness in the range of >200 $\AA$. Gate breakdown voltage is > 100 V for gate length >0.5 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ and MgO thickness > 600 $\AA$. The threshold voltage scales linearly with oxide thickness and is < 2 V for oxide thickness < 800 $\AA$ and gate lengths < 0.6 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. The GaN MOSFET shows excellent potential for elevated temperature, high speed applications.

The drain current of the MOSFET in the off state(i.e., Id when Vgs=0V) is undesired but nevertheless important leakage current device parameter in many digital CMOS IC applications (including DRAMs, SRAMs, dynamic logic circuits, and portable systems). The standby power consumed by devices in the off state have added to the total power consumed by the IC, increasing heat dissipation problems in the chip. In this paper, hot-carrier-induced degra- dation and gate-induced-drain-leakage curr- ent under worse case in P-MOSFET\`s have been studied. First of all, the degradation of gate-induced- drain-leakage current due to electron/hole trapping and surface electric field in off state MOSFET\`s which has appeared as an additional constraint in scaling down p-MOSFET\`s. The GIDL current in p-MOSFET\`s was decreased by hot-electron stressing, because the trapped charge were decreased surface-electric-field. But the GIDL current in n-MOS77T\`s under worse case was increased.
