두께가 6~10 nm인 게이트 산화막의 계면에 염소(Cl)를 도입시킨 n-MOS capacitor 및 n-MOSFET을 제잘하여 물성적인 방법(SIMS, ESCA)과 전기적인 방법에 의해서 소자의 특성을 분석, 평가하였다. Last step TCA법을 이용하여 성장시킨 산화막은 No TCA법으로 성장시킨 것보다 mobility가 7% 정도 증가하였고, 결함 밀도도 감소하였다. Time-zero-dielectric-breakdown(TZDB)으로 측정한 결과, Cl를 도입한 막의 파괴 전계(breakdon field)는 18 MV/cm인데, 이것은 Cl을 도입하지 않은 것보다 약 0.6 MV/cm 정도 높은 값이다. 또한 time-dependent-dielectric-breakdown(TDDB) 결과로부터 수명이 20년 이상인 것으로 평가되었고, hot carrier 신뢰성 측정으로부터 평가한 소자의 수명도 양호한 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 결과에서 Cl을 계면에 도입시킨 게이트 산화막을 가진 소자가 좋은 특성을 나타내고 있으므로 Last step TCA법을 종래의 산화막 성장 방법 대신에 사용하면 MOSFET 소자의 새로운 게이트 절연막 성장법으로서 대단히 유용할 것으로 생각된다.

In this paper, we report the fabrication of the tip-on-gate of a field-effect-transistor (ToGoFET) probe using a standard complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) process and the performance evaluation of the fabricated probe. After the CMOS process, I-V characteristic measurement was performed on the reference MOSFET. We confirmed that the ToGoFET probe could be operated at a gate voltage of 0 V due to channel ion implantation. The transconductance at the operating point (Vg = 0 V, Vd = 2 V) was 360 ㎂/V. After the fabrication process was completed, calibration was performed using a pure metal sample. For sensitivity calibration, the relationship between the input voltage of the sample and the output current of the probe was determined and the result was consistent with the measurement result of the reference MOSFET. An oxide sample measurement was performed as an example of an application of the new ToGoFET probe. According to the measurement, the ToGoFET probe could spatially resolve a hundred nanometers with a height of a few nanometers in both the topographic image and the ToGoFET image.

The effect of band-to-band tunneling (BTBT) leads to an obvious increase of the leakage current of junctionless (JL) transistors in the OFF state. In this paper, we propose an effective method to decline the influence of BTBT with the example of n-type double gate (DG) JL metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs). The leakage current is restrained by changing the geometrical shape and the physical dimension of the gate of the device. The optimal design of the JL MOSFET is indicated for reducing the effect of BTBT through simulation and analysis.

Recently, Very Large Scale Integrated (VLSI) circuit & deep-submicron bulk Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor(CMOS) devices require gate electrode materials such as metal-silicide, Titanium-silicide for gate oxides. Many previous authors have researched the improvement sub-micron gate oxide quality. However, few have reported on the electrical quality and reliability on the ultra thin gate oxide. In this paper, at first, I recommand a novel shallow trench isolation structure to suppress the corner metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistor(MOSFET) inherent to shallow trench isolation for sub 0.1${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ gate oxide. Different from using normal LOCOS technology deep-submicron CMOS devices using novel Shallow Trench Isolation(STI) technology have a unique"inverse narrow-channel effects"-when the channel width of the devices is scaled down, their threshold voltage is shrunk instead of increased as for the contribution of the channel edge current to the total channel current as the channel width is reduced. Secondly, Titanium silicide process clarified that fluorine contamination caused by the gate sidewall etching inhibits the silicidation reaction and accelerates agglomeration. To overcome these problems, a novel Two-step Deposited silicide(TDS) process has been developed. The key point of this process is the deposition and subsequent removal of titanium before silicidation. Based on the research, It is found that novel STI structure by the SEM, in addition to thermally stable silicide process was achieved. We also obtained the decrease threshold voltage value of the channel edge. resulting in the better improvement of the narrow channel effect. low sheet resistance and stress, and high threshold voltage. Besides, sheet resistance and stress value, rms(root mean square) by AFM were observed. On the electrical characteristics, low leakage current and trap density at the Si/SiO$_2$were confirmed by the high threshold voltage sub 0.1${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ gate oxide.

In this paper, a thermally stable nickel silicide technology using the co-sputtering of nickel and titanium atoms capped with TiN layer is proposed for nano-scale metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) applications. The effects of the incorporation of titanium ingredient in the co-sputtered Ni layer are characterized as a function of Ti sputtering power. The difference between the one-step rapid thermal process (RTP) and two-step RTP for the silicidation process has also been studied. It is shown that a certain proportion of titanium incorporation with two-step RTP has the best thermal stability for this structure.

MOSFET는 속도의 증가, 전력 감소 그리고 집적도 증가를 위한 끊임없는 요구에 대응하여 최근 10년간 많은 변화를 겪었다. 그로 인한 스켈링이론이 부각되었고 풀 밴드 Monte Carlo 디바이스 시뮬레이터는 다른 형태의 n-channel MOSFET 구조에서 hot carrier에 대한 디바이스 스켈링의 효과를 연구하는데 사용되었다. 본 연구에서는 단일 Source/Drain 주입의 Conventional MOSFET와 저도핑 Drain(LDD) MOSFEI 그리고 MOSFET을 고도핑된 ground plane 위에 적충하여 만든 EPI MOSFET에 대하여 TCAD(Technology Compute. Aided Design)를 사용하여 스켈링 및 시뮬레이션하였다. 스켈링방법은 Constant-Voltage 스켈링을 사용하였고 시뮬레이션 결과로 스켈링에 대한 MOSFET의 특성과 임팩트 이온화, 전계를 비교 분석을 통해 TCAD의 실용성을 살펴보았고 스켈링을 이해하기 위한 물리적인 토대를 제시하였다.

In this work, a novel silicon (Si) based floating body synaptic transistor (SFST) is studied to mimic the transition from short-term memory to long-term one in the biological system. The structure of the proposed SFST is based on an n-type metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) with floating body and charge storage layer which provide the functions of short- and long-term memories, respectively. It has very similar characteristics with those of the biological memory system in the sense that the transition between short- and long-term memories is performed by the repetitive learning. Spike timing-dependent plasticity (STDP) characteristics are closely investigated for the SFST device. It has been found from the simulation results that the connectivity between pre- and post-synaptic neurons has strong dependence on the relative spike timing among electrical signals. In addition, the neuromorphic system having direct connection between the SFST devices and neuron circuits are designed.

This paper presents a method of parasitic inductance reduction for high-speed switching and high-efficiency operation of a cascode structure with a low-voltage enhancement-mode silicon (Si) metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) and a high-voltage depletion-mode gallium nitride (GaN) fielde-ffect transistor (FET). The method is proposed to add a bonding wire interconnected between the source electrode of the Si MOSFET and the gate electrode of the GaN FET in a conventional cascode structure package to reduce the most critical inductance, which provides the major switching loss for a high switching speed and high efficiency. From the measured results of the proposed and conventional GaN cascode FETs, the rising and falling times of the proposed GaN cascode FET were up to 3.4% and 8.0% faster than those of the conventional GaN cascode FET, respectively, under measurement conditions of 30 V and 5 A. During the rising and falling times, the energy losses of the proposed GaN cascode FET were up to 0.3% and 6.7% lower than those of the conventional GaN cascode FET, respectively.

전력 MOSFET(산화물-반도체 전위 효과 트랜지스터)는 BLDC 모터와 전력 모듈 등에 광범위하게 사용하고 있다. 기존 전력 MOSFET 구조는 온-저항과 항복전압사이에 절충(tradeoff)이 필요하다. 이러한 절충을 하지 않고 최적화를 하기위해 비균일 초접합 트랜치 MOSFET 를 설계하는데 동일한 항복전압에서 균일 초접합 트랜치 MOSFET보다 낮은 온-저항을 갖도록한다. 이를 위해 드리프트 영역에서 우수한 전기장 분포를 달성하기 위하여 선형구조의 도핑 프로파일을 제안하고, 단위 셀 설계, 도핑농도의 특성분석, 전위분포를 SILVACO TCAD 2D인 Atlas 소자 소프트웨어를 사용하여 시뮬에이션을 수행하였다. 결과로 100V 급 MOSFET에서 비균일 초접합 트랜치 MOSFET가 균일 초접합 트랜치 MOSFET보다 온-저항에서 우수한 특성을 보여주고 있다.
