An automotive IC voltage regulator which consists of one-chip based on a metal-oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) is investigated experimentally with three types of packaging. The closed type is filled with thermal silicone gel and covered with a plastic lid on the MOSFET. The half-closed type is covered with a plastic case but without thermal silicone gel on the MOSFET. Opened type is no lid without thermal silicone gel. In order to simulate the high temperature condition in engine bay, the operating circuit of the MOSFET is constructed and the surrounding temperature is maintained at $100^{\circ}C$. In the overshoot the maximum was mainly found at the half-closed packaging and the magnitude is dependent on the packaging type and the surrounding temperature. Also the impressed current decreased exponentially during the MOSFET operation.

Cobalt silicidation at sidewall spacer edge of Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistors (MOSFETs) with post annealing treatment for capacitor forming process has been investigated as a function of dopant species. Cobalt silicidation of nMOSFET with n-type Lightly Doped Drain (LDD) and pMOSFET with p-type LDD produces a well-developed cobalt silicide with its lateral growth underneath the sidewall spacer. In case of pMOSFET with n-type LDD, however, a void is formed at the sidewall spacer edge with no lateral growth of cobalt silicide. The void formation seems to be due to a retarded silicidation process at the LDD region during the first Rapid Thermal Annealing (RTA) for the reaction of Co with Si, resulting in cobalt mono silicide at the LDD region. The subsequent second RTA converts the cobalt monosilicide into cobalt disilicide with the consumption of Si atoms from the Si substrate, producing the void at the sidewall spacer edge in the Si region. The void formed at the sidewall spacer edge serves as a resistance in the current-voltage characteristics of the pMOSFET device.

Understanding of heat generation in semiconductor devices is important in the thermal management of integrated circuits and in the analysis of the device physics. Scanning thermal microscope was used to measure the temperature and the electric potential distribution on the cross-section of an operating metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET). The temperature distributions were measured both in DC and AC modes in order to take account of the leakage current. The measurement results showed that as the drain bias was increased the hot spot moved to the drain. The density of the iso-potential lines near the drain increased with the increase in the drain bias.

A simulation study of a current-mode direct current (DC)-DC buck converter is presented in this paper. The converter, with a fully integrated power module, is implemented by using sense method metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) and bipolar complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (BiCMOS) technology. When the MOSFET is used in a current sensor, the sensed inductor current with an internal ramp signal can be used for feedback control. In addition, the BiCMOS technology is applied in the converter for an accurate current sensing and a low power consumption. The DC-DC converter is designed using the standard $0.35\;{\mu}m$ CMOS process. An off-chip LC filter is designed with an inductance of 1 mH and a capacitance of 12.5 nF. The simulation results show that the error between the sensing signal and the inductor current can be controlled to be within 3%. The characteristics of the error amplification and output ripple are much improved, as compared to converters using conventional CMOS circuits.

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.

For the conventional power metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) device structure, there exists a tradeoff relationship between specific on-resistance ($R_{ON.SP}$) and breakdown voltage ($V_{BR}$). In order to overcome the tradeoff relationship, a uniform super-junction (SJ) trench metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistor (TMOSFET) structure is studied and designed. The structure modeling considering doping concentrations is performed, and the distributions at breakdown voltages and the electric fields in a SJ TMOSFET are analyzed. The simulations are successfully optimized by the using of the SILVACO TCAD 2D device simulator, Atlas. In this paper, the specific on-resistance of the SJ TMOSFET is successfully obtained 0.96 $m{\Omega}{\cdot}cm^2$, which is of lesser value than the required one of 1.2 $m{\Omega}{\cdot}cm^2$ at the class of 100 V and 100 A for BLDC motor.

CMOS의 최종형태로써 Gate-All-Around(GAA) Silicon Nanowire(NW)가 각광받고 있다. 이 논문에서 NW FET(Field Effect Transistor)의 채널 길이와 NW의 폭과 같은 size에 따른 특성변화를 실제 실험 data와 NW FET 특성분석 simulation을 이용해서 비교해보았다. MOSFET(Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor)의 소형화에 따른 쇼트 채널 효과(short channel effect)에 의한 threshold voltage($V_{th}$), Drain Induced Barrier Lowering(DIBL), subthreshold swing(SS) 또한 비교하였다. 이에 더하여, 기존의 상용툴로 NW를 해석한 시뮬레이션 결과와도 비교해봄으로써 NW의 size scaling에 대한 EDISON NW 해석 simulation의 정확도를 파악해보았다.

A novel body-tied silicon-on-insulator(SOI) n-channel metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor with grounded body electrode named GBSOI nMOSFET has been developed by wafer bonding and etch-back technology. It has no floating body effect such as kink phenomena on the drain current curves, single-transistor latch and drain current overshoot inherent in a normal SOI device with floating body. We have characterized the interface trap density, kink phenomena on the drain current ($I_{DS}-V_{DS}$) curves, substrate resistance effect on the $I_{DS}-V_{DS}$ curves, subthreshold current characteristics and single transistor latch of these transistors. We have confirmed that the GBSOI structure is suitable for high-speed and low-voltage VLSI circuits.

Metal-oxide-semiconductor Field-Effect transistor (MOSFET)을 대체할 기술로서 제안된 Schottky Barrier MOSFET (SB-MOSFET)가 제시되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 SB-MOSFET와 MOSFET을 다양한 소자 파라미터를 변화시킴으로서 양자역학적 전하수송 계산을 바탕으로 특성을 분석한다. MOSFET과 SB-MOSFET은 채널 두께 ($T_{Si}$)가 감소함에 따라 전류량은 증가하고 SS와 DIBL은 증가하였고 Overlap에서는 SS와 DIBL이 커지고 Underlap에서는 작아짐을 보였고 SB-MOSFET는 특히 그 폭이 컸다. 또한 SB 높이가 낮을수록 SB-MOSFET의 전류량이 증가하고 SS는 감소하였고 마찬가지로 Source와 Drain doping concentration이 낮을수록 MOSFET의 전류량은 증가하고 SS는 감소하였다. MOSFET과 SB-MOSFET의 경향은 대체로 비슷하나 변화량의 차이 등이 있었다.
