We analyzed the effects of the interface trap on the output characteristics of an inversion mode n-channel GaN Schottky barrier (SB)-MOSFET based on the N_it distribution using TCAD simulation. As interface trap number density (N_it) increased, the threshold voltage increased while the drain current density decreased. Under N_it=5.0×10¹⁰ cm^-2 condition, the threshold voltage was 3.2 V for V_DS=1 V, and the drain current density reduced to 2.4 mA/mm relative to the non-trap condition. Regardless of the N_it distribution type, there was an increase in the subthreshold swing (SS) following an increase in N_it. Under U-shaped N_it distribution, it was confirmed that the SS varied depending on the gate voltage. The interface fixed charge (Q_f) caused an shift in the threshold voltage and increased the off-state current collectively with the surface trap. In summary, GaN SB-MOSFET can be a building block for high power UV optoelectronic circuit provided the surface state is significantly reduced.

In this paper, we have systematically investigated the variation of electrical characteristics with back-gate bias of n-channel SOI MOSFET\\`s. When positive bias is applied back-gate surface is inverted and back channel current is increased. When negative bias is applied back-gate surface is accumulated but it does not affect to the electrical characteristics.

In the CMOS device, Counter doping is needed to adjust threshold voltage because of the difference between n-MOSFET and p-MOSFET well doping concentration when n+ polysilicon gate is used. Therefore buried channel is formed in the p-channel MOSFET degrading properties. So well doping concentration and doping condition should be considered in fabrication process and device design. Here we are to extract the initial process condition using simulation and fabricate p-MOSFET device and then compare the subthreshold characteristics of simulated and fabricated device.

In this paper, 1700 V EPDT (Extended P+ shielding floating gate Double Trench) MOSFET structure, which has a smaller switching time and loss than CDT (Conventional Double Trench) MOSFET, is proposed. The proposed EPDT MOSFET structure extended the P+ shielding area of the source trench in the CDT MOSFET structure and divided the gate into N+ and floating P- polysilicon gate. By comparing the two structures through Sentaurus TCAD simulation, the on-resistance was almost unchanged, but Crss (Gate-Drain Capacitance) decreased by 32.54 % and 65.5 %, when 0 V and 7 V was applied to the gate respectively. Therefore, the switching time and loss were reduced by 45 %, 32.6 % respectively, which shows that switching performance was greatly improved.

In this paper, we present n-channel GaAs MOSFET having $Al_2O_3$ as gate in insulator fabricated on a semi-insulating GaAs substrate. 1 ${\mu}$m thick undoped GaAs buffer layer, 1500 ${\AA}$ thick n-type GaAs, undoped 500 ${\AA}$ thick AlAs layer, and 50 ${\AA}$ GaAs caplayer were subsequently grown by molecular beam epitaxy(MBE) on (100) oriented semi-insulating GaAs substrate oxidized. When it was wet oxidized, AlAs layer was fully converted $Al_2O_3$. The I-V, $g_m$, breakdown charateristics of the fabricated GaAs MOSFET showed that wet thermal oxidation of AlAs/GaAs epilayer/S${\cdot}$I GaAs was suitable in realizing depletion mode GaAs MOSFET.

In this parer, hump characteristics of short-channel nMOSFETs induced by moistures of the ILD(inter-layer dielectric) layer in the shallow trench isolation (STI) process are investigated and the method for hump suppression is proposed Using nMOSFETs with various types of the gate and a measurement of TDS-APIMS (Thermal Desorption System-Atmospheric Pressure ionization Mass Spectrometry), hump characteristics were systematically analyzed and the systemic analysis based hump model was presented; the ILD layer over poly-Si gate of nMOSFET generates moistures, but they can't diffuse out of the SiN layer due to the upper SiN layer. Consequently, they diffuses into the edge between the gate and STI and induces short-channel hump. In order to eliminate moisture in the ILD layer by out-gassing method, the annealing process prior to the deposition of the SiN layer was carried out. As the result, short-channel humps of the nMOSFETs were successfully suppressed.

Optimization of the sub-micron N-channel MOSFET with the LDD(Lightly Doped Drain)structure has been investigated. LDD devices with various length of n-region, n-dose and n-implantation species were fabricated for this purpose. It will be shown that LDD devices have lower substrate current by an order of magnitude and higher breakdown voltage than the conventional devices with comparable channel length. Optimized LDD structure has been found when the sidewall thickness is 2500\ulcorner and n-region is phosphorus implantd with the dose of 1.0E13/cm\ulcorner It has been found that transconductance degradation is less than 20%.

This paper carries out a series of analysis of power system using Gallium Nitride (GaN) FET which has wide band gap (WBG) characteristics comparing to conventional Si MOSFET-used power system. At first, for comparison of each semiconductor device, the switching-transient parameter is quantitatively extracted from released information of GaN FET. And GaN FET model which reflect this dynamic property is configured. By using this model, the performance of GaN FET is analyzed comparing to Si MOSFET. Also, in order to enable a representative assessment on the power system level, Si MOSFET and GaN FET are applied to the most common structure of power system, full-bridge, and each power systems are compared based on various criteria, such as performance, efficiency and power density. The entire process is verified with the aid of mathematical analysis and simulation.

Thw VLSI device of submicron level trends to have a low level of reliability because of hot carriers which are caused by short channel effects and which do not appear in a long-channel MOSFET operated in 5V. In order to minimize the generation of hot carrier, much research has been made into various types of drain structures. This study has suggested CG MOSFET (Concaved Gate MOSFET) as new drain structure and compared its electrical characteristics with those of the conventional MOSFET and LDD-structured MOSFET by making use of a simulation method. These three device were assumed to be produced by the LOCOS process and a computer-based analysis(PISCES-2B simulator) was carried out to verify the hot electron-resistant behaviours of the devices. In the present simulation, the channel length of these devises was 1.0$\mu$m and their DC characteristics, such as VS1DT-IS1DT curves, gate and substrate current, potential contours, breakdown voltage and electric field were compared with one another.
