In this paper, the photocurrent characteristics of gate/body-tied (GBT) metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET)-type photodetector with high sensitivity in the 408 nm - 941 nm range are presented. High sensitivity is important for photodetectors, which are used in several scientific and industrial applications. Owing to its inherent amplifying characteristics, the GBT MOSFET-type photodetector exhibits high sensitivity. The presented GBT MOSFET-type photodetector was designed and fabricated via a standard 0.18 ㎛ complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) process, and its characteristics were analyzed. The photodetector was analyzed with respect to its width to length (W/L) ratio, bias voltage, and incident-light wavelength. It was confirmed experimentally that the presented GBT MOSFET-type photodetector has over 100 times higher sensitivity than a PN-junction photodiode with the same area in the 408 nm - 941 nm range.

In this study, we studied the effects of transfer gate on the photocurrent characteristics of gate/body-tied (GBT) metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET)-type photodetector. The GBT MOSFET-type photodetector has high sensitivity owing to the amplifying characteristic of the photocurrent generated by light. The transfer gate controls the flow of photocurrent by controlling the barrier to holes, thereby varying the sensitivity of the photodetector. The presented GBT MOSFET-type photodetector using a built-in transfer gate was designed and fabricated via a 0.18-㎛ standard complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) process. Using a laser diode, the photocurrent was measured according to the wavelength of the incident light by adjusting the voltage of the transfer gate. Variable sensitivity of the presented GBT MOSFET-type photodetector was experimentally confirmed by adjusting the transfer gate voltage in the range of 405 nm to 980 nm.

본 연구에서는 BJT(Bipolar Junction Transistor)와 MOSFET (Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor) 등을 1MeV에너지의 전자빔을 선량을 변화시켜가며 조사시켜 그 특성 변화를 분석하였다. BJT에 대해서는 조사 전, 후의 전류 이득의 측정을 통해 base 에서의 minority-carrie의 수명 변화에 의해서 전류 이득이 감소하는 것으로 나타났으며, MOSFET의 경우는 oxide 지역의 전하량 변화에 의해서 문턱 전압이 영향을 받음을 확인할 수 있었다. BJT의 minority-carrier의 수명 감소량은 조사 선량이 증가함에 따라 직선적으로 변화함을 알 수 있었고, MOSFET의 문턱 전압의 변화는 nMOS와 pMOS의 경우 서로 다름을 관찰할 수 있었는데 이는 oxide내에서 발생하는 전하에 의해 차이가 남을 알 수 있었다.

The electrical properties of metallic junction diodes and metallic source/drain (S/D) Schottky barrier metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (SB-MOSFET) were simulated. By using the abrupt metallic junction at the S/D region, the short-channel effects in nano-scaled MOSFET devices can be effectively suppressed. Particularly, the effects of trap states at the metal-silicide/silicon interface of S/D junction were simulated by taking into account the tail distributions and the Gaussian distributions at the silicon band edge and at the silicon midgap, respectively. As a result of device simulation, the reduction of interfacial trap states with Gaussian distribution is more important than that of interfacial trap states with tail distribution for improving the metallic junction diodes and SB-MOSFET. It is that a forming gas annealing after silicide formation significantly improved the electrical properties of metallic junction devices.

In this paper, we discuss design considerations for an n-channel metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) with a lateral asymmetric channel (LAC) doping profile. We employed a $0.35\;{\mu}m$ standard complementary MOSFET process for fabrication of the devices. The gates to the LAC doping overlap lengths were 0.5, 1.0, and $1.5\;{\mu}m$. The drain current ($I_{ON}$), transconductance ($g_m$), substrate current ($i_{SUB}$), drain to source leakage current ($i_{OFF}$), and channel-hot-electron (CHE) reliability characteristics were taken into account for optimum device design. The LAC devices with shorter overlap lengths demonstrated improved $I_{ON}$ and $g_m$ characteristics. On the other hand, the LAC devices with longer overlap lengths demonstrated improved CHE degradation and $I_{OFF}$ characteristics.

An explicit surface potential calculation method of gate-all-around MOSFET (GAAMOSFET) devices which takes into account both interface trap charge and varying doping levels is presented. The results of the method are extensively verified by numerical simulation. Results from the model are used to find qualitative and quantitative effect of interface trap charge on subthreshold slope (SS) of GAAMOSFET devices. Further, design constraints of GAAMOSFET devices with emphasis on the effect of interface trap charge on device SS performance are investigated.

It is important to operate the driving circuit under the optimal condition through precisely sensing the power consumption causing the temperature made mainly by the MOSFET (metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistor) when a BLDC (Brushless Direct Current) motor operates. In this letter, a Super-junction (SJ) power TMOSFET (trench metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistor) with an ultra-low specific on-resistance of $0.96m{\Omega}{\cdot}cm^2$ under the same break down voltage of 100 V is designed by using of the SILVACO TCAD 2D device simulator, Atlas, while the specific on-resistance of the traditional power MOSFET has tens of $m{\Omega}{\cdot}cm^2$, which makes the higher power consumption. The SPICE simulation for measuring the power distribution of 25 cells for a chip is carried out, in which a unit cell is a SJ Power TMOSFET with resistor arrays. In addition, the power consumption for each unit cell of SJ Power TMOSFET, considering the number, pattern and position of bonding, is computed and the power distribution for an ANSYS model is obtained, and the SJ Power TMOSFET is designed to make the power of the chip distributed uniformly to guarantee it's reliability.

In this paper, we present a highly-sensitive gate/body-tied (GBT) metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET)-type photodetector using multi-finger structure whose photocurrent increases in proportion to the number of fingers. The drain current that flows through a MOSFET using multi-finger structure is proportional to the number of fingers. This study intends to confirm that the photocurrent of a GBT MOSFET-type photodetector that uses the proposed multi-finger structure is larger than the photocurrent per unit area of the existing GBT MOSFET-type photodetectors. Analysis and measurement of a GBT MOSFET-type photodetector that utilizes a multi-finger structure confirmed that photocurrent increases in ratio to the number of fingers. In addition, the characteristics of the photocurrent in relation to the optical power were measured. In order to determine the influence of the incident the wavelength of light, the photocurrent was recorded as the incident the wavelength of light varied over a range of 405 to 980 nm. A highly-sensitive GBT MOSFET-type photodetector with multi-finger structure was designed and fabricated by using the Taiwan semiconductor manufacturing company (TSMC) complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) 0.18 um 1-poly 6-metal process and its characteristics have been measured.

터널링 전계효과 트랜지스터(tunneling field-effect transistor; TFET)로 적층된 3차원 적층형 집적회로(monolithic 3D integrated-circuit; M3DIC)에 대한 연구 결과를 소개한다. TFET는 MOSFET(metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor)와 달리 소스와 드레인이 비대칭 구조이므로 대칭구조인 MOSFET의 레이아웃과 다르게 설계된다. 비대칭 구조로 인해서 다양한 인버터 구조 및 레이아웃이 가능하고, 그 중에서 최소 금속선 레이어를 가지는 단순한 인버터 구조를 제안한다. 비대칭 구조의 TFET를 순차적으로 적층한 논리 게이트인 NAND 게이트, NOR 게이트 등의 M3DIC의 구조와 레이아웃을 제안된 인버터 구조를 바탕으로 제안한다. 소자와 회로 시뮬레이터를 이용해서 제안된 M3D 논리게이트의 전압전달특성 결과를 조사하고 각 논리 게이트의 동작을 검증한다. M3D 논리 게이트 별 셀 면적은 2차원 평면의 논리게이트에 비해서 약 50% 감소된다.
