This thesis presents Bipolar transistor with SAVEN(Self-Aligned VErtical Nitride) structure as a high-speed device which is essential for high-speed system such as optical storage system or mobile communication system, and proposes 0.8${\mu}m$ BiCMOS Process which integrates LDD nMOS, LDD pMOS and SAVEN bipolar transistor into one-chip. The SPICE parameters of LDD nMOS, LDD pMOS and SAVEN Bipolar transistor are extracted, and comparator operating at 500MHz sampling frequency is designed with them. The small Parasitic capacitances of SAVEN bipolar transistor have a direct effect on decreasing recovery time and regeneration time, which is helpful to improve the speed of the comparator. Therefore the SAVEN bipolar transistor with high cutoff frequency is expected to be used in high-speed system.

A simple analytical model for the lateral channel electric field in gate - offset structured Lightly Doped Drain MOSFET has been developed. The model's results agree well with two dimensional device simulations. Due to its simplicity, our model gives a better understanding of the mechanisms involved in reducing the electric field in the LDD MOSFET. The model shows clearly the dependencies of the lateral channel electric field as function of drain and gate bias conditions and process, design parameters. Advantages of analytical model over costly 2-D device simulations is to identify the effects of various parameters, such as oxide thickness, junction depth, gate / drain bias, the length and doping concentration of the lightly doped region, on the peak electric field that causes hot - electron phenomena, individually. We are able to find the optimum doping concentration of LDD minimizing the peak electric field and hot - electron effects.

In this paper, Amorphous silicon on glass substrate was recrystallized to poly-crystalline silicon by solid phase crystallization (SPC) technology. The active region of thin film transistor (TFT) was fabricated by amorphous silicon. The output and transfer characteristics of thin film transistor with lightly doped drain (LDD) structure was measured and analyzed. As a results, analyzed TFTs reliability with LDD's length by various kinds argument such as sub-threshold swing coefficient, mobility and threshold voltages were evaluated. Stress effects in TFT were able to improve to the characteristics of turn-on current and hot carrier effects by LDD's length variations.

We report the self-aligned low temperature poly silicon (LTPS) TFT process using simple doping process. In conventional LTPS-TFT, the Lightly Doped Drain (LDD) doping and source/drain doping are processed separately by aligning the gate with the source and drain during the gate lithography step. This ne w process not only fabricates fully self-aligned low temperature poly silicon TFTs with symmetric LDD structure but also simplifies the process flow with combined source/drain doping and LDD doping in one step. LDD doping process can be achieved using only source/drain doping process according to the new structure. In this paper, the TFT characteristics of NMOS and PMOS using the new doping process will be discussed.

The on-current of offset and LDD structured devices in slightly decreased while the off-current are remarkably reduced and almost constant independent of gate and drain voltage because offset and LDD regions behave as a series resistance and reduce the lateral electric field in the drain depletion. Degradation of these devices is dependent upon the offset and LDD length rather than doping concentration in these regions. Also, degradation mechanism has been related to the interface generation rather than the hot carrier injection into gate oxide.

Hot carrier induced device degradation characteristics under DC bias stress have been investigated in n-MOSFETs with channel length of 1.2,1.8 um, and compared with those of LDD structure device with same channel length. Based on these results, the device lifetime in normal operating bias(Vgs=Vds=5V) is evaluated. The lifetimes of conventional and LDD n-MOSFET with channel length of 1.2 um are estimated about for 17 days and for 12 years, respectively. The degradation rate of LDD n-MOSFET under the same stress is the lowest at n-region implnatation dose of 2.5E15 cm-\ulcorner while the substrate current is the lowest at the dose of 1E13cm-\ulcorner Thses results show that the device degradation characteristics are basic measurement parameter to find optimum process conditions in LDD devices and evaluate a reliability of sub-micron device.

The impact of LDD structure on the single-poly EEPROMs is investigated in this paper. The single-poly EEPROMs are fabricated using the 0.8$\mu\textrm{m}$ CMOS ASIC process. The single-poly EEPROMs with LDD structure have slower program and erase speeds, but the drain and gate stresses and the endurance characteristics of these devices are much better than those of the single-poly EEPROMs with single-drain structure. The single-poly EEPROMs with LDD structure do not require the process modifications and need no additional masks, hence can be used for microprocessors and logic circuits with low-density and low-cost embedded EEPROMs.

Poly-silicon thin film transistors were fabricated on quartz substrates by high temperature processes. Electrical characteristics were measured and compared for 3 transistor structures of Standard Inverted Gate(SIG), Lightly Doped Drain(LDD), and Dual Gate(DG). Leakage currents of DG and LDD TFT's were smaller that od SIG transistor, while ON-current of LDD transistor is much smaller than that of SIG and DG transistors. Temperature dependence of the leakage currents showed that SIG and DG TFT's had thermal generation current at small drian bias and Frenkel-Poole emission current at hight gate and drain biases, respectively. In case of LDD transistor, thermal generation was the dominant mechanism of leakage current at all bias conditions. It was found that the leakage current was closely related to the reduction of the electric field in the drain depletion region.
