본 논문에서는 정적소비전력을 줄이며, 전류 모드 신호처리의 장점을 최대로 올릴 수 있는 전류 메모리 회로 설계를 제안한다. 제안하는 전류 메모리 회로는 기존의 전류 메모리 회로가 갖는 Clock-Feedthrough와 Charge-Injection 등으로 인해 데이터 저장 시간이 길어지면서 전류 전달 오차가 심해지는 문제를 최소화하며, 저전력 동작이 가능한 Current Transfer 구조에 밀러 효과(Miller effect)를 극대화하는 Support MOS Capacitor를 삽입하는 설계로, 저장 시간에 따르는 개선된 전류 전달 오차를 보였다. 매그나칩/SK하이닉스 0.35㎛ 공정으로 칩 제작을 통한 실험 결과, 저장 시간에 따르는 전류 전달 오차가 5% 이하로 개선되는 것을 검증하였다.

ln this work, we studied electrical characteristics and leakage current mechanism of $Ta_2O_{5}$ MOS(Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) devices. $Ta_2O_{5}$ thin film (63 nm) was deposited by ALD(Atomic Layer Deposition) method at temperature of 235 $^{\circ}C$. The structures of the $Ta_2O_{5}$ thin films were examined by XRD(X-Ray Diffraction). From XRD, it is found that the structure of $Ta_2O_{5}$ is single phase and orthorhombic. From capacitance-voltage (C-V) anaysis, the dielectric constant was 19.4. The temperature dependence of current density-electric field (J-E) characteristics of $Ta_2O_{5}$ thin film was studied at temperature range of 300 - 423 K. In ohmic region (<0.5 MV/cm), the resistivity was 2.456${\times}10^{14}$ ($\omega{\cdot}cm$ at 348 K. The Schottky emission is dominant at lower temperature range from 300 to 323 K and Poole-Frenkel emission is dominant at higher temperature range from 348 to 423 K.

In this paper, a new small sized Lateral Trench Electrode Power MOS was proposed. This new structure, called LTEMOS(Lateral Trench Electrode Power MOS), was based on the conventional lateral power MOS. But the entire electrodes of LTEMOS were placed in trench oxide. The forward blocking voltage of the proposed LTEMOS was improved by 1.5 times with that of the conventional lateral power MOS. The forward blocking voltage of LTEMOS was about 240 V. At the same size, an improvement of the forward blocking voltage of about 1.5 times relative to the conventional MOS was observed by using ISE-TCAD which was used for analyzing device's electrical characteristics. Because all of the electrodes of the proposed device were formed in each trench oxide, the electric field was crowded to trench oxide and punch-through breakdown was occurred, lately.

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.

80-nm self-aligned n-and p-channel I-MOS devices were demonstrated by using a novel fabrication method featuring double sidewall spacer, elevated drain structure and RTA process. The fabricated devices showed a normal transistor operation with extremely small subthreshold swing less than 12.2 mV/dec at room temperature. The n- and p-channel I-MOS devices had an ON/OFF current of 394.1/0.3 ${\mu}A$ and 355.4/8.9 ${\mu}A$ per ${\mu}m$, respectively. We also investigated some critical issues in device design such as the junction depth of the source extension region and the substrate doping concentration.

Continued scaling of MOS devices requires the formation of the ultra shallow and very heavily doped junction. The simulation and experiment results show that the degradation of pMOS performance in logic and SRAM pMOS devices due to the excessive diffusion of the tail and a large amount of dose loss in the extension region. This problem comes from the high-temperature long-time deposition process for forming the spacer and the presence of fluorine which diffuses quickly to the $Si/SiO_{2}$ interface with boron pairing. We have studied the method to improve the pMOS performance that includes the low-energy boron implantation, spike annealing and device structure design using TCAD simulation.

The advancement of power semiconductor devices has given great attribution to the performance and reliability or power conversion systems. But contemporary power devices have room for improvement. So much interest and endeavor are being applied to develop an improved power devices. The MOS-Controlled Thyristor(MCT)is a recently developed power device which combines four layers thyristor structure and MOS-gate. Owing to advantages compared to other devices in many respects, the MCT attracts much notice recently. Nowadays, in designing and manufacturing power conversion systems, the importance of circuit simulation for reducing cost and time is incensed. And to excute the simulation that resemble the real system as much as possible, to develop a model of power device that provides properly static and dynamic characteristics is important. So, this paper presents a PSPICE model of the MCT considering dynamic characteristics.

The reset operation of a CCD image sensor was improved using charge trapping of a MOS structure to realize a loe voltage driving. A DC bias generating circuit was added to the reset structure which sets reference voltage and holds the signal charge to be detected. The generated DC bias is added to the reset pulse to give an optimized voltage margin to the reset operation, and is controlled by adjustment of the threshold voltage of a MOS transistor in the circuit. By the pulse-type stress voltage applied to the gate, the electrons and holes were injected to the gate dielectrics, and the threshold voltage could be adjusted ranging from 0.2V to 5.5V, which is suitable for controlling the incomplete reset operation due to the process variation. The charges trapped in the silicon nitride lead to the positive and negative shift of the threshold voltage, and this phenomenon is explained by Poole-Frenkel conduction and Fowler-Nordheim conduction. A CCD image sensor with $492(H){\;}{\times}{\;}510(V)$ pixels adopting this structure showed complete reset operation with the driving voltage of 3.0V. The resolution chart taken with the image sensor shows no image flow to the illumination of 30 lux, even in the driving voltage of 3.0V.
