We propose a semi-analytical current conduction model for depletion-mode n-type nanowire field-effect transistors (NWFETs) with top-gate structure. The NWFET model is based on an equivalent circuit consisting of two back-to-back Schottky diodes for the metal-semiconductor (MS) contacts and the intrinsic top-gate NWFET. The intrinsic top-gate NWFET model is derived from the current conduction mechanisms due to bulk charges through the center neutral region as well as of accumulation charges through the surface accumulation region, based on the electrostatic method, and thus it includes all current conduction mechanisms of the NWFET operating at various top-gate bias conditions. Our previously developed Schottky diode model is used for the MS contacts. The newly developed model is integrated into ADS, in which the intrinsic part of the NWFET is developed by utilizing the Symbolically Defined Device (SDD) for an equation-based nonlinear model. The results simulated from the newly developed NWFET model reproduce considerably well the reported experimental results.

본 논문은 효율적인 회로 시뮬레이션을 위한 긴 채널 공핍 모드 n형 나노선 전계효과트랜지스터(nanowire field-effect transistor: NWFET)의 간단한 해석적 전류 전도 모델을 소개한다. 본 연구에서 사용된 NWFET는 bottom-up 방식으로 제작되었으며 게이트가 채널의 아래에 존재하는 구조를 가진다. 이 모델은 다양한 바이어스 조건에서 동작하는 NWFET의 모든 전류 전도 메카니즘을 포함한다. 새롭게 개발된 NWFET 모델로 계산된 결과는 이전에 발표된 NWFET 실험 데이터와 비교할 때 10% 오차범위 안에서 서로 일치한다.

In this study, we investigate the influence of an overlap between the gate and source/drain regions of silicon nanowire (SiNW) CMOS (complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor) inverter on bendable plastic substrates and describe their electrical characteristics. The combination of n-channel silicon nanowire field-effect transistor (n-SiNWFET) and p-channel silicon nanowire field-effect transistor (p-SiNWFET) operates as an inverter logic gate. The gains with a drain voltage ($V_{dd}$) of 1 V are 3.07 and 1.21 for overlapped device and non-overlapped device, respectively. The superior electrical characteristics of each of the SiNW transistors including steep subthreshold slopes and the high $I_{on}/I_{off}$ ratios are major factors that enable the excellent operation of the logic gate.

A compact model of a depletion-mode silicon-nanowire (Si-NW) pH sensor is proposed. This drain current model is obtained from the Pao-Sah integral and the continuous charge-based model, which is derived by applying the parabolic potential approximation to the Poisson's equation in the cylindrical coordinate system. The threshold-voltage shift in the drain-current model is obtained by solving the nonlinear Poisson-Boltzmann equation for the electrolyte. The simulation results obtained from the proposed drain-current model for the Si-NW field-effect transistor (SiNWFET) agree well with those of the three-dimensional (3D) device simulation, and those from the Si-NW pH sensor model also agree with the experimental data.

양극성 이중 독립 게이트 실리콘 나노와이어 전계 효과 트랜지스터를 새롭게 제안한다. 제안한 트랜지스터는 극성 게이트와 제어 게이트를 가지고 있다. 극성게이트의 바이어스에 따라서 N형과 P형 트랜지스터의 동작을 결정할 수 있고 제어 게이트의 전압에 따라 트랜지스터의 전류 특성을 제어할 수 있다. 2차원 소자 시뮬레이터를 이용해서 양극성 전류-전압 특성이 동작하도록 두 개의 게이트들과 소스 및 드레인의 일함수를 조사했다. 극성게이트 4.75 eV, 제어게이트 4.5 eV, 소스 및 드레인 4.8 eV일 때 명확한 양극성 특성을 보였다.
